RETHINK CHURCH...
what if...we "rethink" church?
what if...church was less about Sunday and more about the other days of the week?
what if...church wasn't just a place we go, but something we do...a menu of adventure. an active verb instead of a noun?
what if...church wasn't just a building but thousands of doors? each of them opening up to a different concept or experience of church. so that whoever knocks, might find a journey to call their own.
what if...church was the way church was in the beginning? human beings from completely different worlds, united by common purpose, experience and belief! creating real solutions for their daily lives!
what if...church looked at itself with seekers eyes? recognizing that even the smallest step through our doors is an act of courage. a moment of vulnerability. that social relationships can offer opportunities for discussions of faith, and provide inspiration for discovery.
what if...church was more of an out-of-church experience? an opportunity to prove that what we say, we believe, with our lives. then perhaps Sunday could be a day of rest and reflection on all that we had accomplished Monday through Saturday.
what if...we rethink church? not in terms of what it is, but what if could be. and, what if...we can convince the world to do the same? together we can open minds, open hearts, open doors!
Blaine UMC, like the Methodist movement as a whole, has a long history of social justice. Blaine UMC is governed by its membership through teams, boards, and committees that care for the life of the church, continue its traditions and seek to represent the will of the congregation as a whole.
Children are welcome and nurtured at Blaine UMC, in the church school and other activities offered to them throughout the year. Our church also is actively involved in outreach to our neighborhood and the world.
