“We desire for you to come as you are and have an authentic experience of Jesus in all His love, wonder and beauty.

We believe that church should be more like a lifeboat than a pleasure cruise.

Church should be a place that welcomes all people. Church should help see people healed and set free to become who God has created them to be.

We have learned over the years that this a powerful, exciting and, at times, messy journey. That is why we emphasize the grace, mercy and love the Father has for us, and that we should have for each other.

We would love for you be our guest this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. If you have any questions, please contact us and we’ll be happy to get back to you!”

 Rather than being a place where people are met with shame, guilt, and condemnation, Jesus leads us to be a family that extends His grace, mercy, and forgiveness to everyone. No matter what you’ve been through or what questions you might have, we want you to be a part of the family.

There are people attending, and even leading South Reno, who have major hurts, habits, and hang-ups. In fact, perfect people are not allowed. We’re a community of people who don’t have it all together but are discovering what it means to find life in Jesus, to follow him fully, to break free from our past, and to walk in victory together. That’s who we are.

South Reno United Methodist Church was officially chartered in 1989, but we were a church long before that. Our mission, with every Christian on earth, is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. 

We believe discipleship is central to Christianity. We also believe that discipleship is something that we do together. (That is why we are all about relationships.) 

We believe that everyone can learn to do what Jesus did on earth, and should take responsibility for growing to do so. We aim at all times to model Jesus’ approach to his followers which was low control, high accountability.

Three simple questions are integral in this process:

•  What is God saying to you?
• What are you going to do about it?
• Who are you going to tell?

What on earth does that mean? SRUMC is not a warehouse to store perfect people. We are a life giving church that is all about relationships. Come and experience who we are and the life-transforming power of God’s love. See you Sunday!
