About Sparta United Methodist Church

of the world.
The reason Sparta United Methodist Church exists is to make God's love real in our church, neighborhood, community, and world.

As a faith community we are becoming
a congregation of people who:
Invite people to experience the love of God
and become disciples of Jesus Christ.
Equip disciples to be agents of God's
reconciling love in the world.
Care for one another in Christian community.
Send disciples as servants of Christ to participate
in God's transformation of the world.
