Our Faith, Our Community
At Harrisburg United Methodist Church, we believe in a faith that is real, loving, and life-giving.
We seek to follow Jesus Christ by opening hearts, minds, and doors — welcoming all to grow in
God’s love and to live that love in daily life.
Grace at the Heart
We believe in God’s grace — the unconditional love that surrounds us even before we’re aware of it, forgives us when we fall short, and helps us grow to become more like Christ.
Grace isn’t something we earn; it’s a gift that transforms us and calls us to extend compassion and mercy to others.
Our Faith
Like all Christians, we believe in:
- God the Creator, who made each of us in love and calls us to care for creation and one another.
- Jesus Christ the Savior, whose life, death, and resurrection reveal God’s grace and offer us new life.
- The Holy Spirit, God’s presence with us today, guiding, strengthening, and comforting us.
- The Church, a community of believers living out Christ’s love in the world.
Faith in Action
We believe faith is more than words — it’s a way of living. As United Methodists, we try to follow three simple rules:
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
That means showing kindness, working for justice, and serving others in Christ’s name.
A Welcoming Community
We know faith is a journey, and we don’t pretend to have all the answers. Here, every question is welcome and every person is valued. Whether you’ve been part of a church all your life or are just beginning to explore faith, you’ll find a place to belong and grow.
At Harrisburg UMC, you’re not just a visitor — you’re family. Together, we’re learning to love God deeply and love our neighbors fully.
Want to go deeper in faith?
We offer Bible studies throughout the year for all who wish to learn, grow, and deepen their connection with God and one another.
A Church for All People
Embracing Diversity in Faith
Living as the Body of Christ
For us, church is not just a building and not just an event on Sunday morning; it is a way of life. We believe the church is an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today. Every member has a role to play in this ministry, offering prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
Together, we are learning to love God more deeply and to love our neighbors more fully. That is what we believe, and that is how we seek to live every day.
