"We are called to love, worship, and serve as we seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ" —Gum Spring UMC Vision Statement

At Gum Spring UMC, we envision a church where:

• Everyone is welcomed home and experiences the love and grace of      Jesus Christ.
• Worship transforms lives, drawing people into a deeper relationship       with God.
• Every generation grows through biblical teaching, authentic relationships, and intentional discipleship.
• Every member discovers their gifts and serves both within the church and throughout our community.
• Faith is lived beyond Sunday, impacting families, schools, workplaces,    and neighborhoods.
• New disciples are made, and new leaders are equipped to continue   Christ's mission.
