Your concepts of the church may be wrong.

Is Christianity what you think it is?

You might be surprised what you find out!

Have you ever said:

• The church is anti-homosexual.
• Christians are judgmental.
• Christians are out of touch with reality.
• The church is anti-science.
• Christians believe your faith is the only way to experience God.
• Christians cannot have doubts or questions.
• All they talk about is money.

There is another way to be Christian.

• It is part of the ancient past, present and future.
• It is being true to the values of God and the realities of life.
• It is Biblically based but not frozen in time.
• It takes Christ seriously but doesn't require exclusivity.
• It sees science as a good thing and requires doubts and questions as part of God's ongoing revelation.
• This other Christianity is deeply rooted in loving God and loving others and making the world a better place for all people.
• It is not about some heaven and hell after death.  It is about working for heaven on earth, right here and right now.
• It's about transforming lives and the world.

Let's explore how popular understandings of the Christian faith are not how we a Vermont Hills United Methodist Church understand it. You are always welcome to join us on Sundays at 10:30 am at 6053 SW 55th Drive, Portland, OR.
