Welcome
Considering the extravagant love God lavishes on us all, we at Vashon United Methodist Church extend our welcome to people of all ages, races, ethnicities, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, family structures, economic situations and faith histories. Our desire is to be known for mutual respect, understanding, and inclusion.
We follow Jesus, who offered radical hospitality to the lonely, hurting, hungry, and homeless. Come, explore this great love of God with us, and work beside us to transform the world.
We welcome all newcomers and look forward to meeting you. We recognize, too, that we are all newcomers in this place, the unceded land of native peoples, who are still living and thriving, as our neighbors.

We are a Reconciling Congregation
What does that mean? It means that we have made a commitment to being in loving Christian ministry with all people without prejudice, to truly have “open hearts, open minds, and open doors,” to work toward the time when our congregation, our denomination, and our society live the all-inclusive love that our faith demands. As a sign of that commitment—and a vehicle for helping to achieve it, we are affiliated with the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) and share its guiding principles.
Overcoming Oppression
The Reconciling Ministries Network aspires to fulfill our baptismal covenant to resist oppression in whatever form it presents itself in our movement, church, and world. RMN has a commitment to ending institutional racism, sexism, and economic injustice by working at the intersections of oppression and focusing on an ongoing examination of internal processes and external actions at all levels including its selection of issues and organizing strategies.
