About Us

Spring Lake United Methodist Church has been serving God in the Spring Lake area, and in the
world, since 1982 – while maintaining fresh, new approaches to ministry all along.
The congregation is a welcoming, accepting, caring, and diverse Christian community committed to
teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people – through inspiring worship, exciting programs, and
outreach ministry.
There is a place for you within this community, and we would welcome an opportunity to be an
integral part of your search for a connection with Christ and other Christians.
We hope that you will visit our church, so that we can journey together in faith.

The United Methodist Church is a connectional denomination of more than 48,000 local churches and
over 10 million people around the world.


The primary mission of the United Methodist Church is to encourage the discipleship of Jesus Christ
for the transformation of the world.


United Methodists are noted for the celebration of varying viewpoints, and firmly believe that all 10
million plus members of the United Methodist Church, the conservative and the liberal, the traditional
and the progressive, are connected as sisters and brothers in Jesus Christ.

Open Doors, Open Minds, and Open Hearts. Together, we affirm the core beliefs of the Christian faith: “We believe in God, the creator of the world; and in Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of creation.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, through whom we acknowledge God’s gifts, and we repent of our sin in misusing these gifts to idolatrous ends.

We commit ourselves to the rights of men, women, youth, young adults, the aging, and those with handicapping conditions; to improvement of the quality of life; and to the rights and dignity of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities.

We dedicate ourselves to peace throughout the world, to freedom for all peoples, and to the rule of justice and law among nations. We believe in the present and the final triumph of God’s Word in human affairs, and gladly accept our commission to manifest the life of the gospel in the world.”

Our Team.
