Barrington United Methodist Church seeks to intentionally and sincerely welcome persons of all ages, nations and races. We are committed to building a diverse community that values people of all abilities, statuses, backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender expressions. We believe that God calls us to vibrant worship that encourages participants to encounter the living God; to grow in faith, friendship and love as we each seek to live our faith in our daily lives; and to serve God and our neighbor through acts of charity, kindness, mercy and justice. We embrace and nurture all people at any point in their faith journey and believe there is room at Christ’s Table for all.
Our worship and learning together inspire us to a ministry of Changing Lives—particularly by serving the last, the least and the lost. There are a lot of civic groups that one might join who care for the environment, or provide health or human services or engage in a variety of other philanthropic activities. But we transform well-intentioned service into life-changing discipleship when we take time to celebrate, inspire and reflect on how serving others helped us to also serve God.
