Our Mission<\/h2>\n

Our God calls us to serve others, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. The United Methodist Church is built on a foundation of service to society in the name of the God who heals all things. \u00a0At Hamline Church, children, youth, and adults all have opportunities to do good for the community and serve others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
