"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..."

Matthew 28:19 (NIV)

Pearce Memorial Church exists to make fully-devoted disciples of Jesus Christ.

People were made to worship God. At the heart of all we do is the worship of God, for He is why we are.

God's holiness calls for personal and institutional integrity. Our accountability before God and with one another carries into all facets of our lives.

We are optimistic about the degree to which God changes people. No one is too broken to find healing and forgiveness.

Christians mature best in small groups. Small groups are the building blocks of our community, the place of nurture and care.

Organization must never proceed at the expense of persons or families. We protect time and relationships, always treating one another with respect.

Ministering in teams is preferable to ministering alone. Women, men, all ages, all races, all cultural backgrounds, all with different gifts, bring a special uniqueness to the job of ministering together.

We are members of the Free Methodist ministry network. We multiply our ministry beyond the sum of our parts to reach the world.

We seek a participative style of leadership. The church is not just the staff or the board.

The board keeps track with our mission. The staff equips and empowers the congregation for ministry. The congregation reaches out in ministry to the world.

Pearce Memorial Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ, and ministers through the fivefold purposes of membership, maturity, ministry, mission and magnification. An age-appropriate process leads our children and youth to fall in love with the Lord for a lifetime: to commit themselves to the fellowship of the church, mature spiritually, discover their gifts for ministry and understand their life mission in the world. Our youth ministry exists to attract non-believing students and connect them with other believers so that they cultivate a heart of God. We seek to honor God with our lives as well as discover our personal ministry.
