At the heart of Nauvoo Global Methodist Church is a deep desire to surrender fully to the one true God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and to live out a passionate devotion to what matters most to Him.

Our Vision

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we envision a worldwide movement of disciples who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. Jesus calls us to love God wholeheartedly and our neighbors as ourselves.

Our Call

We are entrusted with a lifesaving, transforming message and are committed to sharing the whole counsel of God with all peoples—boldly, fearlessly, and with unwavering faith.

Our Foundation

Rooted in Scripture and led by the Spirit, we seek to advance God's Kingdom in every culture and community. We value the gifts of every member, walking together in mutual love, humility, and service.

As a global church, we partner together in God's mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ. We especially serve the vulnerable, embodying Christ's extravagant love in all we do.

Vision + Mission

Inspiring people to follow Jesus and fearlessly change the world

Our Mission

Nauvoo Global Methodist Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.

In our worship, we desire to surrender to and be fully devoted to one God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about what is important to God.

Jesus calls those who follow Him to love God wholeheartedly and love their neighbors as themselves. Our desire is to demonstrate to the world the extravagant love of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

We have been entrusted with a lifesaving and transforming message that we must share with others. Our witness is bold, compelling and fearless.

Our Vision

Through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we envision multiplying disciples of Jesus Christ who flourish in scriptural holiness.

Through our ministries, we desire 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.

We are committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the inspiration and authority of the Scriptures, and the work of the Holy Spirit in conveying God's truth and grace to all people.

Our witness to the world is marked by mutual love, concern, sharing, and a focus on those who are most vulnerable as we humbly serve others as ambassadors of Christ.

Our Methodist Heritage

"The world is my parish."

— John Wesley

Since the 1720s, when John and Charles Wesley and friends at Oxford University met together to deepen their Christian faith through daily, practical spiritual disciplines, the Methodist movement has been enlivened by God's Spirit.

Derided by others as a "new sect of Methodists" for their "methodical" ways of practicing the faith, the small group embraced the name and persevered. Ever since, the people called Methodist have committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with people all around the world.

At Nauvoo Global Methodist Church, we continue this rich tradition—pursuing a "methodical," practical, and warm-hearted devotion to loving God and serving others as Jesus' disciples in the world.

Our Logo

The Global Methodist Church's logo brings together in its three circles the one God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—whom alone we worship. The circles intersect at the center of the cross of Jesus Christ, the symbol of our deliverance from sin. The outer circumference represents the globe, communicating God's sending of the church into the world.
