We are a diverse Christian faith community that is part of the global United Methodist Church. We believe in the one true God, who is creator and sovereign of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in salvation through Jesus Christ. The foundation of Christian living is faith in Jesus Christ. Faith is the central loyalty that gives purpose and direction to our lives. This faith is open to everyone who chooses it.
That’s right, faith is a choice. A choice to seek out and believe in God and what He offers. We know that faith does not happen overnight. It’s a journey that can start at any age. The journey can be complex and may be different for each traveler.
There may be times where we seem stalled or question our journey. But little by little, as we progress on our journey, we find that faith is also an incredible gift. The gift of God’s love, compassion, support, and all that He created for us.
Our church is an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today. We believe that the Bible is God’s word and is the primary source to guide our faith and practice.

Our Mission
The mission of our church is to be a welcoming faith community that offers God’s love and teachings to all people. We help people to learn about God’s message of love, hope, and salvation. We strive to demonstrate our faith by being the evidence of Christ’s presence here on earth.
No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome at the Gardner Chestnut Street United Methodist Church.
