The Mission
The mission of Sunrise United Methodist Church is "knowing Christ making I'm known; Serving Christ by serving others."
We "know Christ" by reading his story in Scripture. We learn what it means for him to interact with a Samaritan woman at a well, a blind man by a healing pond, and forgiving from a cross. We see his heart for people in the stories he shared, and the way he loved them with word and action.
We make Christ known by sharing the same love for the people we encounter. We embody God's love for the outcast, the outsider, and the oppressed. Christ is known through our love, in word and action.
We serve Christ by serving others. The more we know Christ, the more we know who he serves, and the lengths he would go to share God's love. So, we serve him, by serving others through acts of generosity, kindness, love, and compassion with courage and grace.
