NRUMC's MISSION:

Encouraging People on their Journey to Discover Extraordinary Life in Christ.

We are all on the path of discovery. Jesus is forever calling us to new life, extraordinary life. We commit to taking this journey together!

OUR HISTORY

Over Fifty Years of Making Disciples

Spring of 1971 - Thirteen families (98 Charter Members) met to organize the first worship service on June 20th at Monk Chapel at the Methodist Home for Children.
In 1972, land was purchased on Honeycutt Road and Rev. Sid Huggins was appointed as the first pastor.
The church began in what is now the Youth Building, with the new Sanctuary (now the Fellowship Hall) being built in 1983.
Rapid growth led to the design of our large, current Sanctuary which was consecrated in 2006.

OUR VISION STATEMENT

We glorify God and make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by offering a safe and caring environment for anyone who is searching to be spiritually fulfilled and accepted.

OUR CORE VALUES

Grace: God’s unearned love is always at work in our lives, going before us, redeeming us, and continually shaping us in Christ’s likeness. We seek to embrace grace and impart it to one another.

Compassion: As God suffers with us, we, too, are called to deeply engage and even suffer with one another and our broken world.

Generosity: All of life is a gracious outpouring from our God who invites us to live reflectively of this divine love, pouring ourselves generously into each other and our world.
