About our church
Who we are
A congregation of the Global Methodist Church, Hughes Springs Methodist Church has been a spiritual home in our town since 1873 — gathered around one simple calling: loving and serving God by loving and serving others.
Our calling
A family of faith in Hughes Springs
We are a warm, family-sized congregation that believes faith is best lived together — in worship, in friendship, and in service to our neighbors. From newcomers to families who have worshiped here for generations, there is a place for you among us.
Our life together is shaped by a single motto: “Loving and serving God by loving and serving others.” It is the thread that runs through our worship on Sunday and our outreach all week long.
Our Mission
Why we exist
As a congregation of the Global Methodist Church, we share its mission:
The Global Methodist Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.
In our worship, we desire to surrender to and be fully devoted to one God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about what is important to God.
Jesus calls those who follow Him to love God wholeheartedly and love their neighbors as themselves. Our desire is to demonstrate to the world the extravagant love of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
We have been entrusted with a lifesaving and transforming message that we must share with others. Our witness is bold, compelling and fearless. Our mission advances when individuals become disciples of Jesus Christ and join God’s mission to make more disciples.
Our Vision
Where we're headed
The hope that draws us forward, shared across the Global Methodist Church.
Through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, the Global Methodist Church envisions multiplying disciples of Jesus Christ throughout the Earth who flourish in scriptural holiness as we worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly.
Through our ministries, we desire to share the whole counsel of God with all peoples and to advance the presence and fulfillment of the Kingdom of God in every part of the world and at all levels of societies and cultures. The Global Methodist Church is committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the inspiration and authority of the Scriptures, and the work of the Holy Spirit in conveying God’s truth and grace to all people.
We are a global church that recognizes and deploys the gifts and contributions of each part of the church, working as partners in the gospel with equal voice and leadership. Our witness to the world is marked by mutual love, concern, sharing, and a focus on those who are most vulnerable. We watch over one another in love and bear witness to the transforming power of the Good News as we humbly, but boldly, strive to serve others as ambassadors of Christ!
