Grant’s Church

We hope to become known as “the church that never sleeps.”

This web site is dedicated to a reimagining of what the

Galena United Methodist Church means to our town.

Featuring…

Love boldly,

serve joyfully,

and

lead courageously.

The May 2025 vision of the Council of Bishops encourages United Methodists to embody the following principles:

  • Love Boldly: Passionately love God and, like Jesus, embrace and include people of every age, nation, race, gender and walk of life.

    • Inspired by Matthew 22:37-39 and John 13:34-35
       

  • Serve Joyfully: With a Christ-like heart, journey alongside the most vulnerable, offering care and compassion with joy.

    • Inspired by Psalm 100:1, Nehemiah 8:10, John 13:14-15 and 1 Peter 4:10
       

  • Lead Courageously: Follow Jesus’ example by resisting and dismantling all systems of evil, injustice, and oppression, striving for peace, justice and reconciliation.

    • Inspired by Joshua 1:9 and Ephesians 6:10

“This new vision is not simply a statement or a plan, it is a catalyst for transformation,” said Bishop Tracy Smith Malone, President of the Council of Bishops. “It is a vision that will help the Church embrace the opportunities before us, to follow where God is leading us, and to more fully engage in our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.”
