The mission of the United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The heart of this work happens in local congregations in their communities. As United Methodist followers of Jesus in the Creal Plains Conference we believe: We are called to fulfill the great commandment (Matthew 22:34-40) by helping people love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, AND helping people love their neighbors as they love themselves (which involves growing in love of self!). We are called to fulfill the great commission (Mathew 28:16-20) by helping people grow as and make disciples (baptizing. teaching, and remembering the risen Christ is with them always). We believe healthy disciples and congregations engage in ongoing reflection and evaluation of their shared life of faith as they seek to grow into who God is calling them to be. To fulfill our calling to Love God. Love Neighbor, Love Self, and Make Disciples, we need to focus on both the care of existing members AND reaching the mission field.
