From The Pastor

For a long time the Christian church has talked about being "born again". That phrase is a great image of awakening to the presence of God all around us.

But we also talk about growing up, and coming to maturity in our faith. We can't just stay newborns forever; we must grow. The Bible's book called Ephesians encourages us to grow to spiritual adulthood. Join us here at Roberta United Methodist Church, one Sunday or every Sunday, as we seek "to grow up healthy in God, robust in love" (Ephesians 4:16).
