Vision

Transforming Lives through Faith in Jesus Christ

We will be doing this by focusing on six areas:

1) WORSHIP that is creative and inspiring

2) MISSIONS that call us to give of ourselves

3) DISCIPLESHIP groups that help all ages to connect and learn

4) EVANGELISM that reaches out to those who need the transforming love of Jesus

5) CONGREGATIONAL CARE supporting and caring for those in need

6) CHRISTIAN EDUCATION supporting our on-campus schools and school programs.

Palm Harbor UMC is an intergenerational community called to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ and committed to loving God and loving others.

Mission

To live fully into this purpose we will follow these discipleship practices:

To Gather God’s people for worship

To Grow disciples of Jesus Christ

To Go forth to serve the community and the world

Core Values

Christ Centered- I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you,  you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5)

Intergenerational- One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. (Psalm 145:4)

Hospitality- "The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)

Service- Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.  (Ephesians 4:11-12)

Excellence- Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. (Colossians 3:23)

Life-Long Learning-  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)
