   The Portico      

(Pastor Mark's Blog)

Grace and Peace in the name of Jesus Christ!  Saint Francis is a dynamic and grounded community serving Christ and the surrounding area through acts of worship, compassion, and teaching. We encourage a sense of belonging and mutual service within our fellowship. Family, youth and children's ministries; short and long-term educational opportunities; and meaningful worship are all part of our life together.  Wherever you are in your life, or whatever interests you may have, we have a place for you at Saint Francis. 

St. Francis UMC Vision Statement

We seek to be an inviting, Christ-centered community identified by compassion and Christian love; devoted to spiritual growth and providing refuge from the clamor of the world.
