About Beyond These Walls

Vision
The host and sponsoring churches share a vision of the connectional system being the means through which the United Methodist Church becomes once again the powerful force for the cause of Christ that it was during the time of John Wesley. Some see a future of decline, but we see a bright future – a future where Christ’s Church is refocused on its divinely appointed mission. A church that is the Lord’s holy instrument, working with His Holy Spirit in reaching out, touching, loving, teaching, redeeming, and making disciples of Christ Jesus – a Church transformed by missions and a Church transforming the world through missions.
