OUR VISION

Newberg First United Methodist Church is a vibrant congregation that makes
disciples of Jesus Christ who love God, grow together, and serve others for the
transformation of the world.

With an open door, we welcome and affirm all. With an open table, we nourish both bodies and souls. Rooted in the biblical call to seek justice and offer kindness, we are passionate about ministries of hunger, housing, and hospitality. We commit ourselves to planting seeds of love until all thrive in God’s beloved community.

OUR COMMITMENT TO WELCOMING ALL

Jesus said to love God and love your neighbor as yourself. 
We, the congregation of Newberg First United Methodist Church, follow this commandment by welcoming all.

We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and
shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more.

We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.

We welcome you to join us in our faith journey toward greater love,
understanding, and mutual respect.
Come, grow in grace with us.
