The People of Page are the Church.
We are followers of Jesus Christ and the words found in the Holy Bible. We also are influenced by John Wesley, a English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism1.
Our faith does not mean we are perfect, but it means we try to be a little bit better every day.
Our faith does not mean we walk above others, but it means we try to walk with others, both members of the church and those in our community.
We strive to help those less fortunate and those who are looking for something more than the life of the mundane.
Our faith means we do not live alone; but share our life with each other.
We are a community of people who love and care for each other.
We look after each other when we are sick, and we laugh with each other when we are happy.
We share our meals, and we share our stories.
We follow the children as they grow up, and we follow the caskets to the grave.
The People of Page are the Church, and we welcome you.
Join us for small group sessions to discuss our faith and share our lives.
