MONTGOMERY
                           UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
                           A PLACE       WHERE THE LOVE OF            JESUS IS ALIVE

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The love of Jesus Christ is alive at Montgomery United Methodist Church, and I am so glad
that this congregation has become your home. This is a place where we can grow, connect,
and serve God; so that we become a part of a plan that is larger than ourselves. This is a
congregation where you can become a part of larger vision: to be “a place where the love of
Jesus is alive.”

You will quickly discover opportunities to live out this mission through Bible studies, fellowship
groups, and outreach ministries. Our staff along with our lay leadership, look forward to helping
you find a place. I thank God for leading you to this church.

Welcome Home!

Introducing our Pastors
Senior Pastor, David Lindwall
                       David is originally from Atlanta, GA and graduated from the University
                       of Georgia and Asbury Theological Seminary. He and his wife,
                       Stephanie have been married since June, 1986. They have four adult
                       children: Jack (Morgan); Grace; and twins, Hannah and McKinley (Will).
                       David worked 15 years in the chemical industry before answering God’s
                       call to pastoral ministry. Stephanie teaches science at Montgomery Jr.
                       High School. They lived in the Woodlands during the 90’s and their twins
                       were born at Herman Memorial Hospital, so moving to Montgomery
was like coming home! David and Stephanie enjoy spending time with their children, exercising,
reading, and watching college football.

Associate Pastor, Cabe Matthews
                        Cabe grew up north of Houston in the Klein area and has degrees from
                        The University of Texas at Austin, The Seattle School of Theology and
                        Psychology, and Southern Methodist University’s Perkins School of
                        Theology. Since 2016, Cabe has been married to Stephanie Coleman, a
                        professor of psychology at University of Houston-Downtown. In 2019,
                        God blessed them with their first child, Anna June Matthews.
                         Cabe loves drinking good coffee and cooking complicated recipes – but
his favorite food is probably breakfast tacos. When he is not at church or in the kitchen, you will
most likely find him reading a book, writing, or trying to make his daughter laugh. In addition to
his other responsibilities at MUMC, Cabe leads The Forge, our modern worship service at 9:45
am on Sunday mornings.

Associate Pastor, Nancy Kellond
                        Rev. Nancy Kellond has served many United Methodist churches as
                        pastor in the Houston area. She is currently at MUMC working in
                        pastoral care and nurturing ministry. Nancy taught Spiritual Formation
                        at Perkins School of Theology and was a mentoring pastor to seminary
                        students. She served the United Methodist Church worldwide as a
                        delegate to General Conference, and has participated in many mission
                        trips including Africa, Haiti and Mexico.
Nancy enjoys teaching, writing, preaching, and leading retreats. She is a facilitator of the
Conference Ministry called “Unleashed” for lay persons who want to further explore God’s call
in their lives. She is an artist and enjoys traveling with her husband Bill and visiting their seven
grandchildren.

The Meaning of Church Membership
“We have many parts in one body, but the parts don’t all have the same function. In the same way, though
there are many of us, we are one body in Christ, and individually we belong to each other.” Romans 12:4-5
CEB
“You are the body of Christ and parts of each other.” 1 Corinthians 12:27 CEB
Church membership is not like membership in a club, it is more like membership in a body.
Clubs exist to serve their members, but the members of our bodies (arms, eyes, feet, noses, etc.)
work together toward a common goal: furthering the life of the body. When the body is healthy,
the members will be healthy too -we all need each other in the Body of Christ to be able to
“Grow in Christ and Share His Love” together!
The Church all around the world is the Body of Christ; MUMC is just one little local part of
that. If God is calling you to be a member of this local body, we’re going to ask you to make a
commitment to support it with your Prayers, Presence, Gifts, Service, and Witness, so that the
body can thrive!
Prayers - Prayer is the way that Christians talk to God. In prayer we put the things that we
care about at God’s feet, and we ask God to help us to care more deeply about the things that
He cares about. As a member of MUMC, we ask you to commit to pray daily: pray for one
another and pray for the world on behalf of the church.
Presence - Christians don’t follow Jesus alone; we gather together and follow Him as a
community. As a member of MUMC, we ask you to commit to be present in Sunday worship
at least 90% of the time when you are in town. We also ask you to commit to regularly attend
some kind of discipleship group (community group and/or Sunday school).
Gifts - Christians are called to live generously: since we serve a God who has been so generous
with us we can always afford to be generous with others. As a member of MUMC we ask you to
commit to tithing 10% of your income in support of the ministries of the church, and we ask
you to live generously toward the poor and those in need. If you are not in a position to tithe
10% at this point, we ask that you submit a giving pledge and regularly give as you are able, with
the hope that you are working your way toward a tithe.
Service - As Christians, we don’t live for ourselves. God has given each of us what we call
Spiritual Gifts. These are gifts given by the Holy Spirit such as service, teaching, leadership, and
prophecy that we are called to use in the service of the Body of Christ and for the furthering
of its mission in the world. As a member of MUMC we ask you to commit to find a way to use
your Spiritual Gifts -whatever they might be –to serve at least one ministry of the church, and
we invite you to also use your gifts to serve through your regular day to day life on behalf of the
church.
Witness - Christians serve a God who wants everyone to know His love. God came to the
world in Jesus Christ to make that love available to us, and as members of the Body of Christ
we are an extension of God’s offer of His great love for the whole world. As a member of
MUMC we ask you to commit to live your everyday life in your job, at home, at school, and
everywhere you go as an ambassador of God’s love and to evaluate at least once a week how
you are growing in Christ’s love, especially for people you have a hard time loving.

Our Beliefs
United Methodists share a common heritage with all Christians. According to our foundational
statement of beliefs in The Book of Discipline, we share the following basic affirmations in
common with all Christian communities:
Trinity - We believe in one God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is loving,
and He makes known to us His love and grace.
Creation - God created the world and all that is in it. God is sovereign; that is, God is the
ruler of the universe.
Jesus - Jesus was human. He lived as a man and died when he was crucified. Jesus is divine. He
is the Son of God. God raised Jesus from the dead, and the risen Christ lives today. Jesus is our
Savior. In Christ we receive abundant life and forgiveness of sins. Jesus is our Lord, and we are
called to pattern our lives after his.
The Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit is God with us. The Holy Spirit comforts us when we are
in need and convicts us when we stray from God. The Holy Spirit awakens us to God’s will and
empowers us to live obediently.
Human Beings - God created human beings in God’s image, but humans can choose to accept
or reject a relationship with God. All humans need to be in relationship with God in order to be
fully human.
The Church - The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in
the world today. The mission of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. The church is
“the communion of saints,” a community made up of all past, present, and future disciples of
Christ. The church is called to worship God and to support those who participate in its life as
they grow in faith.
The Bible - The Bible is God’s Word. The Bible is the primary authority for our faith and
practice. Christians need to know and study the Old Testament and the New Testament.
The Reign of God - The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.
Wherever God’s will is done, the kingdom or reign of God is present. The reign of God is both
personal and social.
With many other Protestants, we recognize also the two sacraments in which Christ himself
participated: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

How the Methodist              church works

Texas Annual Conference:
  Governs all churches in East and Southeast Texas.
Central North District:
 Governs churches more local to Montgomery & Conroe.
Local Church (Montgomery UMC):
  Our local church is governed by these administrative committees:
The Administrative Council:
  The administrative council oversees all the programming of the church. It meets monthly to
  review activities of the church and provide oversight of the overall church. This is a group of
  most of the chairpersons of committees in the church.
Staff Parish Relations Committee
  This committee is the HR department of the church. They are responsible for the oversight
  of the staff and pastors in the church.
Trustees
  The Trustees are responsible for the church facilities and property of the church. They
  are primary contract signers, work with insurance and function as the church building
  administrators of the property.
Finance
  The purpose of the Montgomery United Methodist Church Finance Committee is based on
  the biblical mandate of stewardship and the meaning of being a good steward. We start with
  the understanding that there is no “my money” or “church money”. It is all God’s measure
  with which the church and its representatives are entrusted as stewards. Stewards do not own
  the money; they manage it responsibly and prudently. The Committee is charged with this
  important job.
Lay Leadership
  This committee nominates church members to other administrative committees and
  positions. These positions are approved at the annual charge conference of the church.

Worship   Traditional Worship: 8:30am & 11:00am
          Our Traditional Worship services are Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary. Services offer
          elements of traditional worship including the old favorite hymns, gospels and current
          praise and worship music. Our services begin with a warm “Welcome home!” The
          resounding response is, “It’s good to be home!” Special services include, but are not
          limited to, seasonal events such as Holy Week and Christmas. Holy Communion is
          celebrated monthly on the first Sunday. As Methodists, we have an “open table”- we
          invite all who desire to live the Christian life to the table. Our church family embraces our
          youth and children and encourages participation within our weekly services. We have a
          worship committee that works with the pastors to ensure a great worship experience.

          The Forge Modern Worship: 9:45am
          The Forge Modern Worship service is Sunday mornings in the Faith Center. You’ll
          enjoy worshiping and have fun meeting people just like you, ordinary people who have
          encountered an awesome God. You don’t have to dress up. You don’t have to pretend
          your life is perfectly in order. You’ll find a friendly, relaxed place where you can truly be
          yourself. You’ll be encouraged, challenged, and given the tools to connect with God.
          You’ll hear teaching you can apply to your life today. You might even experience worship
          in a way you never have before. We want people to see Jesus for who he really is and
          to begin a relationship with him. As a church, we want to do life together as we seek to
          grow and understand what God has in store for each of us. You are not simply welcome
          to MUMC, you are wanted. Come expecting to find real people who are learning every
          day how to serve God by serving and loving each other. The Forge Worship committee
          works with the pastor and musicians to create a warm and new worship experience.

          Chancel Choir: 6:30pm Wednesdays
          Our Chancel Choir sings at the Traditional services on Sunday mornings as well
          as Special Services throughout the year. They usually have an Easter Cantata and a
          Christmas Cantata. They practice each week on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm, with a
          break for the summer and resume after Labor Day. Anyone is welcome to join the choir.
