and today is the spiritual home of more than 2,000 members.
Our Wesleyan tradition -- faith and love put into practice --
is reflected in our Vision, Values, Purpose and Mission:

PUMC "TOP TEN" VALUES
- We believe we are called to be a church for all people, and so we affirm our community to be multi-ethnic, multicultural and gender equal.
- We believe that God transforms lives through the gift of Grace:
- Prevenient Grace: the grace that through Jesus Christ calls even while we are sinners and broken people.
- Justifying Grace: the grace that reconciles us to God through the cross of Jesus, and provides us with pardon, forgiveness and healing;
- Sanctifying Grace: the grace that through God's Holy Spirit enables us to live a Christian life as followers of Jesus Christ, and through which we receive daily comfort and strength.
-
We believe in and will affirm the God-given sacred worth of each individual life.
