Our
Vision
Pride in the past
is admissible. KUMC has learned to follow the vision of God.
When facing the unknown, a group of dedicated people left Shiloh
in 1877 to become the core of what is now KUMC. Subsequent
decisions to build, add on and eventually move to our present
location came about after much prayer and soul-searching. The
move was made to follow God’s vision. The vision has
continued and the process has remained the same: prayer and
soul-searching. Building new additions and adding ministries
have always been KUMC’S response to following God’s vision.
The year 2006 brought together, again after prayer and
soul-searching, a committee to seek, listen, pray, receive and
put into place a plan to continue following God’s vision. After
a year’s work the committee lay their work, at the foot of God’s
throne and ask of Him: “Is this your vision for KUMC?
”God’s affirmation
has been and will be Spirit and empowerment to fulfill the
vision in the immediate and farther future. The past is our
affirmation of our future. George Barna, Church Outreach
specialist, writes that the ultimate test of “God’s perfect
vision is one that blesses, inspires and survives testing.” We,
who are members of KUMC today, are testimony to the “perfect
vision of God.” Catch the vision, as our predecessors
caught God’s vision: Let succeeding generations rise up to call
us blessed because we too caught the vision.
