A MESSAGE FROM OUR SENIOR PASTOR

Dear friends,

Over the past few years, we've witnessed God's love grow in our community, and now we're invited to step into something greater. Today, I want to introduce you to Beyond — a capital campaign that calls us to go further in faith, generosity and impact. Beyond is more than a goal; it's a shared vision to expand our ministry, deepen our service and reach hearts in ways we've never imagined. It's a call to create a lasting impact and expand our reach for the kingdom of God. The work God is calling us to in this next season will require all of us — our faith, our resources and, most importantly, our trust that God is at work in ways we cannot yet fully see. This is not a journey we can walk alone. This is our moment as a church family to trust God's provision and be part of something that will bless lives for years to come. As you read through this campaign summary, I want to encourage you to prayerfully consider how God is inviting you to be a part of this mission. How is God calling you to go beyond?

Rev. Mark Sorensen
Senior Pastor

CALLED TO GO FURTHER

You are called by God to make a difference. Jesus’ words, “Go and be disciples of all nations,” remind us of our mission to share His gospel and love with the world. At The Woodlands Methodist Church, we take this calling to heart, striving to bring the message of Christ to our community and beyond. From our humble beginnings in 1978 to building schools and churches around the globe, our journey of faith has been one of bold action and purposeful service. Together, we are committed to going further, following God’s lead to transform lives and build His kingdom. Join us as we embrace this mission and step into the future God has planned.
