Our Mission 

​As a fellowship of United Methodists we work to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World.  We take the Bible seriously and appreciate that it is best interpreted in the context of tradition, experience and reason.  We have an intentional emphasis to those who are often marginalized and have been intentionally reconciling to LGBTQ individuals since 1996. ​Each Sunday we affirm that we are each, “A beloved child of God and a beauty to behold".

Our Reconciling Statement

​Vancouver Heights United Methodist Church publicly affirms its ministry with the whole family of God. We celebrate God's gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital , and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to journey in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.  

Our Vision

We are called to lead people to Christ and nurture them physically, emotionally and spiritually.
