Who We Are
Grand View Methodist Church is a high energy, high flexibility, high satisfaction congregation that has grown to be a transformative body of Christ. Grand View was founded in 1877 and has been at our current location since 2003.
We believe that in the midst of a chaotic and divided culture people are longing to be known and to know others. We are in the relationship business; helping build healthier relationships between all people and God, God’s People, and the Christian Lifestyle.
MISSION: We exist to continue the work of Jesus Christ in the world.
VISION: That all people who connect at Grand View will find their lives enhanced and helped in loving God, loving others, and serving the world using any and all means and methods we provide.
Core Vales and Actions
The Word of God and Christian Tradition
Reading the Bible and striving to hear the Word of God, learning from it, and then applying it, informs and directs what we do. In addition, the Nicene & Apostle's Creed are important, solid statements of what we believe.
Worship is Essential
We strive to make worship meaningful, inspiring, accessible, and excellent for the whole Community to gather in communion with God and God's people.
Being the Body of Christ
We believe we are the Body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the work of Jesus in the world. Because of this all people are expected, encouraged, and equipped to serve in the name of Jesus.
Relationships over Programs
People are what matter most at Grand View. All are called at Grand View to do ministry in the midst of the community.
