Our Mission Statement
The Dundee United Methodist Church is an established family of faith, seeking to reach out to a growing community by offering the love of Christ and making disciples. This includes identifying gifts, encouraging a commitment to and a relationship with Christ and each other, to become faithful witnesses through our daily living.
Our Part in the Community
The Dundee United Methodist Church is a
caring, growing congregation serving Christ as a beacon, as an
inspiration, and as a nurturing family for one of the fastest growing
communities in Southeastern Michigan.
Since 1827, the Dundee United Methodist Church
has been an active and caring family of faith that compassionately
reaches out to the Village of Dundee and to the surrounding areas. The
congregation has been a strong voice proclaiming the gospel of Jesus
Christ. It has been teacher of both young and old in the meanings of
Christian discipleship. It has understood religion and discipleship to
be more than worship; the congregation sees the meaning of religion and
discipleship as doing the work to relieve the pains, supply the needs,
and to ease the hardships of God's suffering children.
The Dundee United Methodist Church has
envisioned a project of growth to match the growth and the needs of the
community. Nearly 30 years ago, the Dundee United Methodist Church
embraced a vision of growth. That vision led the congregation to move to
its present site and to build. Recently, that same vision brought about
the building of a new sanctuary, offices, library, and community room.
Renovation of the previously existing structure is also part of that
vision to meet the increasing needs of the community and the
congregation. By allocating new space specifically for worship and
large community meetings, the existing facility can be almost
exclusively devoted to programs that met the needs of the community.
The church has a Sunday School that ministers
to God's children of all ages, infants to more than 80 years old. The
church's choir brings inspirational music to the congregation each
worship service and offers special music to the community. The church is
home to a very active United Methodist Women's organization. There are
also special support groups for working women and for widows.
The community's largest daycare center is
housed at the United Methodist Church. The congregation originated and
continues the work of Caring and Sharing Ministries that helps people in
need with food, clothing, transportation, and emergency funds. The
project has grown to encompass nearly all of the churches of the
community through the Interfaith Council of Churches. During the
Christmas season, Caring and Sharing worked through the Interfaith
Council of Churches to bring community resources together to provide
Christmas gifts for more than 200 children in Northwest Monroe County
who otherwise would have had to do without. The church continues to be
the site of the Dundee area's primary food bank and of federal
commodities distribution for the aged and poor.
The Dundee church continues to support both
domestic (such as the Cass Avenue Mission , The United Methodist
Retirement Homes, and the United Methodist Children's Village and
others.) as well as international missions for spreading the Gospel and
aiding God's children. The congregation has financially supported
these and other local, state, national, and international mission
programs.
