Based on the Global Methodist Church Vision

Worship Passionately. Love Extravagantly. Witness Boldly.

First Methodist Church Gatesville is a proud congregation of the Global Methodist Church. As part of this worldwide movement of believers, we are committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ, sharing the Gospel, and serving our community in Gatesville, Texas, and beyond.

Through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, the Global Methodist Church envisions multiplying disciples of Jesus Christ throughout the earth who flourish in scriptural holiness as we worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly.

Through its ministries, the Global Methodist Church seeks to share the whole counsel of God with all peoples and to advance the presence and fulfillment of the Kingdom of God in every part of the world and at all levels of society and culture.

The Global Methodist Church is committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the inspiration and authority of Holy Scripture, and the work of the Holy Spirit in conveying God's truth and grace to all people.

As a global church, it recognizes and deploys the gifts and contributions of every part of the body of Christ, working together as partners in the Gospel with equal voice and leadership. Its witness to the world is marked by mutual love, concern, generosity, and a focus on those who are most vulnerable.

As followers of Christ, we watch over one another in love and bear witness to the transforming power of the Good News. We humbly, yet boldly, strive to serve others as ambassadors of Jesus Christ in Gatesville, throughout Central Texas, and around the world.
