(The Core Values of Mosaic United Methodist Church, Valdosta). 

We believe in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We  believe in the authority of the Scriptures as the story of God’s relationship with His  creation and describes how we are to be in loving relationship with one another.

We believe that God’s plan for us - His Church - is to be in community for worship,  fellowship, and service. As in a mosaic, individual pieces of broken glass or stone are united to form one glorious piece of art. Each piece is important and necessary to the whole design.  We delight in the wonderous diversity of God’s people and embrace this diversity in all its forms: race and ethnicity, age, income, gender, and sexual orientation. To all we say, “Come, you are welcomed and affirmed.”  We believe this to be the radical hospitality to which we are called.

We believe that the gathering of the community for opportunities to learn is essential for our personal and corporate growth. We encourage the study of scripture, theological  literature, and current events. We support open discussion, curiosity, and asking questions as ways to increase our knowledge and understanding God’s word and the world in which we live. 

✝️

We believe that we are all called to be the “hands and feet of Christ” in the world, to show mercy and serve our neighbors. We take seriously the command of Jesus when He said: “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was in prison and you visited me, I was sick and you took care of me.” (Matthew 25:35-36) Each of us has been given the gifts and graces to reach out to those in need and to address injustice wherever it exists. We challenge one another to listen how God calls us as individuals and as a faith community to serve daily.
