The Benefits of SUMC Membership
Friendships - Making and having friends that share the same beliefs and values helps us all navigate through this amazing, but sometime difficult, life.
Opportunities to Make a Difference – As a collective resource, we have opportunities to help others and make a difference in our church, community and the world.
Accountability - Members that receive good biblical teaching learn to make good decisions, are held accountable by just showing up, and being reminded of their core beliefs.
Sense of Community – Many of us live in isolation so much so that we don’t even know our neighbors. Being a SUMC member provides opportunities for interactions with other people & creates a social community.
Personal Development - Whether you are new Christian or have been a Christian for a long time, SUMC can offer church leadership, discipleship and spiritual development and growth.
Social Events - Whether it’s a Life Groups, Sunday School Class or Journey, we have opportunities to participate in church events with friends and other church members.
