At Northwoods, we have Sunday School classes to equip our members to grow in the faith and we actively engage in fellowship one with another - celebrating our diversity in culture, gender, age and orientation. Supporting our members and friends that are homebound is also an important aspect of our inreach ministry. Our Senior Adult Ministry (SAM) is open to all and is actively engaged in making a difference in the lives of those involved with us.We believe that we are to use the gifts that God has given to each of us as we seek to serve Him with our time, talent, gifts, service and witness.John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time. Two considerations are central to this endeavor: the sources from which we derive our theological affirmations and the criteria by which we assess the adequacy of our understanding and witness. Wesley believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason.Doctrinal Standards and Our Theological TaskUnited Methodists profess the historic Christian faith in God, incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation and ever at work in human history in the Holy Spirit. Living in a covenant of grace under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we participate in the first fruits of God's coming reign and pray in hope for its full realization on earth as in heaven.The Ministry of All Christians The mission of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Local churches provide the most significant arena through which disciple-making occurs.Social PrinciplesThe United Methodist Church has a long history of concern for social justice. Its members have often taken forthright positions on controversial issues involving Christian principles. Early Methodists expressed their opposition to the slave trade, to smuggling, and to the cruel treatment of prisoners.

The mission of The United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.The fundamental way we fulfill our mission is to reach out to people in the name of Jesus Christ, to relate people to God, to nurture and strengthen them in their journey of discipleship, and to send them into the world to be the church--inviting and receiving others in the name of Jesus Christ. Northwoods United Methodist Church lives on a strong foundation of years of Christian discipleship. We are blessed to be heirs to a tradition of faithfulness to the call of Christ. It is imperative that we not lose sight of the ministry of those who have gone before us.Our ministry today is vital to the witness of Christ in this community and it becomes a part of the foundation for ministry yet to come. We have the capacity to be effective in carrying out Christ's mission as a fellowship of believers.God is calling us to discipleship. As we respond to God's calling we can claim the promise of the presence of Jesus Christ and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Worship Ministries We take the United Methodist’s ministry and mission statement "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors" to heart, and we hope that you will feel safe and included when visiting our church. Worship is central to the life and ministry of Northwoods United Methodist Church, and we extend an open invitation to you with the hope that you will find spiritual meaning and significance. Our message is one of hope, a positive statement that all life is sacred. We hope that you will come and join us for an open, welcoming service, where no one is turned away.

This is a test of the thing or something???

Welcome John 20: 21~23Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
