More Than Membership. A Shared Mission.
Church is more than a place we attend. It's a community where we belong, grow in faith, and join together in the mission of Jesus Christ.
At Lake Houston Methodist Church, we call this Partnership.
In Philippians 1:5, Paul gives thanks for the believers' "partnership in the gospel." We believe that becoming part of a church means more than placing your name on a membership roll. It means committing to follow Jesus alongside others and participating in God's work through the church.
As Partners at LHMC, we commit to Following Jesus Together.
What Does Partnership Mean?
Our mission is to bring people into authentic community, disciple them in Christ, and equip them to live and share their faith.
We live out that mission through five movements of discipleship:
DISCOVER — Encounter Christ through worship.
CONNECT — Build authentic relationships with others.
GROW — Become more like Christ through Scripture, prayer, and spiritual formation.
ENGAGE — Use our gifts and resources to serve God and others.
LAUNCH — Live and share our faith wherever God sends us.
While none of us lives this out perfectly, we covenant together to encourage, support, and challenge one another as we follow Jesus.
As part of our Wesleyan heritage, Partners also commit to faithfully support the church through their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
