Who We Are
JustPeace – The Conversation Continues…Dialogue from #1 – the first of four important topics emerging from the CUMC JustPeace process.
Who we say we are…
The picture emerging from those who participated in the JustPeace dialogue process (through circles or written feedback) indicates that CUMC members were connected and stay connected in a variety of ways. Although there is diversity of experience, responses clustered predominately around:
a) Family/Church Connections – those who became connected and stay connected through their own family or relatives who belonged to CUMC;
b) Clemson University Connections – those (faculty, student, etc) who became connected and stay connected through ministry or relationship connections at Clemson University, including but not limited to the the Wesley Foundation ministries;
c) Heritage/United Methodist Connections - those who became connected and have stayed connected through their own faith traditions and heritage – historically with this being the only “Methodist” church in town;
d) Open and Caring Connections and in Service to Community – those who found CUMC to be a welcoming place and experience CUMC as a caring presence in outreach to the community;
e) Children, Youth and Family Ministry Connections – those who became connected or stay connected through their involvement with children, youth or family ministries – with a particular emphasis on that which is available at CUMC for children and youth;
f) Other personal connections with friends, neighbors, ministers involved with CUMC.
