At Moody Methodist Church we believe that all of us are disciples - no matter how long we’ve attended church, or how much (or how little!) we know about the Bible and God. We also believe that God calls us to continually grow in our faith in Christ, and in our participation with Christ’s work in the world today. We sum this all up in our mission statement: “To walk alongside our neighbors in the love of Christ to transform the world.”
To this end we have created a “Pathway of Discipleship” showing clear steps one can take to grow as a disciple here at Moody Methodist Church.
Following Jesus and deepening your connection with God isn't always a linear path.
When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi, where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and remained with him that day.
John 1:38-39
As Jesus walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a new into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of people.”
Matthew 4:18-19
I have said these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will face trouble - but take heart, for I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
And Jesus appointed twelve, whom he named to be apostles, to be with him, and to be sent out to proclaim the message.
Mark 3:14
Live in me as I live in you.
John 15:4
Informal Worship draws on the experience of the American church as it spread during the 1800s. Sometimes called "camp meeting" style, there is little ritual and no high church liturgy. Every Sunday at 8:30 am in the Sanctuary, we gather for worship that is natural and laid back. We lift our voices in praise as we sing the old-time favorite hymns of the church. There is a time for the congregation to select hymns during an old-fashioned hymn-sing. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday in an informal style. We all join hands at the end of the service as we go out to serve God and our community.
Traditional Worship draws on rituals and traditions that date back to the very beginning of the Christian Church 2,000 years ago. Every Sunday at 11:00 am we gather in the Sanctuary for worship that is steeped in the liturgy and rites of the ancient church. We lift our voices in praise as we sing the traditional hymns of the church. Music is offered in a classical sacred style by the Chancel Choir, handbell groups, vocal and instrumental ensembles, and the Children's Choir and is accompanied by piano and organ. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month.
The Bridge Modern Worship gathers every Sunday morning at 11:00 am for worship. Our worship space is inside of Moody Methodist Church, in the Christian Life Center (look for the Gym). Our service is an hour long and includes a blend of modern music, a thoughtful sermon, and Holy Communion each week.
The Hispanic Ministry of Moody Methodist Church, with the purpose to proclaim the God of our life for the Hispanic community of Galveston, meets every Sunday at 11:00 am to share the Word of God in Spanish with celebration of the sacraments, biblical readings, songs of praise, intercessory prayer, and thanksgiving.
