OUR MISSION AND VISION Our vision at McKendree UMC is to be a church that glorifies God in all we do! Our mission is to... Win - We must bring people into a life-changing relationship with Christ. Disciple - We help people grow into fully devoted followers of Jesus. Serve - We equip and send these disciples into a hurting world as ambassadors of God's love. OUR HISTORY In 1883, a small community of devoted Christians came together to worship as part of a circuit of churches. For more than 100 years, since the time of the original brush arbor and frame schoolhouse with outhouses, McKendree UMC has been the center of the community. The church is home to a Preschool of over 200 students, 20 different Scouting organizations and a wide variety of church related ministries. McKendree is an historic church with an exciting past and a promising future. Led by the Risen Lord, this body is continuing to grow not just in numbers but also in spirituality, as we forever seek to praise, learn, and serve as directed in the Scriptures. Whatever your interest, wherever you sense God is leading, you are sure to find it here.
