ABOUT US

"The church is not a haven for saints, it's a hospital for sinners."

This accurately tells you who we are. Like any other church, we are a group of people desperately in need of God's grace. We all mess up; we all fall short...the word in the Bible is 'sin.' But the Church is part of God's plan to redeem people back to him so we seek to be vessels of grace as God is gracious to us. We bless others as God blesses us!

Bremen United Methodist Church offically came to be on July 1, 2009. Previously, the town of Bremen had two United Methodist affiliated churches: Grace and Salem.

In October, 2007, the churches decided to enter discussions to bring the two churches together and serve the community more effectively.

After much discussion, visioning, praying, planning, negotiating and more praying, the churches voted on January 22, 2009 to become one church under one name.

Today, we find ourselves as a "new" church; seeking to be creative and innovative in our ministries while honoring our traditions.

As a group, this is who we are:

Bremen United Methodist Church…
the name says where we are, but it says a lot more about who we are.

Bremen United Methodist Church is…A CHURCH!
Although it’s the name of the building where we meet, we are a group of people who gather as a community to worship and profess that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and that the hope of the world is embodied in the local church.  The church, by definition, worships together, learns together, supports and prays for one another and helps lead others into a personal relationship with Jesus.

Bremen United Methodist Church is…UNITED METHODIST!
We are part of a world-wide outreach known as the United Methodist Church.  We seek to be in ministry with and for other United Methodist churches in the area and pledge our continuous support of programs and ministries at the District, Conference, Jurisdictional and worldwide levels.

Bremen United Methodist Church is…ECUMENICAL!
We openly collaborate and cooperate with all Christian-based churches in the community in order to bring Christ to the Bremen community.

What undergirds the ministry? We've identified four pillars from which we build ministries:

• Worship
• Education
• Fellowship
• Evangelism and Mission
