  Our Purpose:
 

Tipp City United Methodist Church exists to reach people far from God and to develop radiant followers of Christ.

Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT) "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  

Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

 

  Our Journey:
 

We believe our journey towards becoming a radiant follower of Christ has three main steps along the way...


LOVE God and others.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'  The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30-31

“Practice Hospitality.”  Romans 12:13b


GROW to be like Jesus.

“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree; they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;” Psalm 92:12

“And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,” Colossians 1:10


SERVE the world.

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.”  I Peter 4:10

“and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."  Matt 20:27-29
