Sunday worship services

What if "church" were a verb instead of a noun?
What if church was not a location to come to and stay within, but a base of operation for expressing your faith by moving out into communities and around the globe to become part of God's plan for world transformation?
If you found such a "place," would you come?
You are invited to explore the Advent UMC website to see for yourself how the people of Advent are rethinking and renewing what the church is and should be in the 21st century.
We are an active and engaged faith community. We hope you will find a doorway at Advent that you will be comfortable walking through in order to connect with God, with the world around you, and with a community of people that will love and care for you and help you along the journey of your life.

Our Purpose Statement
To cooperate with the Holy Spirit,
by inviting all people into relationship with Jesus Christ
through engaging worship, service and spiritual growth.
What if "church" was thought of not as a building, but as thousands of doors, each of them opening to a different concept or experience of church, so that whoever knocks might find a journey to call their own?
INSIGHT [in-sahyt] noun: divine impartation of knowledge, or wisdom: a penetrating understanding, as of a complex situation or problem; the ability to perceive clearly or deeply the inner nature of things.
IGNITE [ig-nahyt] transitive verb: to set afire or kindle; to heat up, set in motion, spark; intransitive verb: to catch fire; to begin to glow.
