Our Mission: To go make Disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
While our mission is the fuel that moves us forward, our vision is the vehicle in which we accomplish what God is calling FUMC to do here in Crawfordsville. Our vision is best summed up in four key phrases:
Abide in Christ
This is the foundation of everything. If we are not abiding in Christ, we are missing the point of Jesus' work to reconnect us with the Father. Our first priority in FUMC is to be a congregation that abides in the wonderful presence of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Pray and Obey
We keep it pretty simple. Pray, and then do what the Holy Spirit directs you to do. If you are truly abiding in Christ, you will listen for His direction in your life and simply follow the sound of His voice.
Family Strong
We believe that God has called us to be a family of believers. Whether you are a single person, married couple, functional or dysfunctional family, we believe that we can be your family.
Kingdom Mindset
It doesn't matter what you are doing, if you are doing it from our old, earthly mindset it never turns out very well. However, we believe that we are called to live right now in the mindset of the God's Kingdom. It's amazing how are being and doing change when we ask the Spirit to teach us to think like Jesus. After all, we do have the mind of Christ.
