In the early winter months of 1843, a small group of faith-filled people made an investment in you. Yes, you read that right. No, they weren’t time travelers or fortune-tellers; they were people who cared about creating a space for people to grow in their understanding of God and community. Their promise of creating a church community has been passed on to a new generation of faith-filled leaders who build on what has been shared with us. During the month of November, we’ll explore some of the history of The United Methodist Church in Madison as we continue the work of "Building on the Promises.”

UMC: Who We Are & What We Believe
The United Methodist Church is a worldwide connection - we are the person next door, the church on the other side of the country, and the worshiping community across the globe. We are more than 12 million members in Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States. Together, we share a legacy of living as disciples of Jesus Christ, sharing God's love both in what we say and how we serve our neighbors.
We are present in more than 100 countries, speaking many languages and representing diverse cultures, but our 43,000 local congregations all share:
- A 238-year, history that has been hope, healing and salvation for millions,
- A mission and ministry that is heart inspired and hands on,
- A commitment to show up when there is a disaster and pray for one another in our daily challenges,
- And a passion for following Jesus through worship, prayer, service and the study of Scripture.
