Partner obediently with the Holy Spirit to make disciples of Jesus.

Every one set free by Christ and fulfilling their potential for God's Kingdom.

• Jesus Christ as the only mediator between God and man, the only one who can "truly speak to thy condition."

• Trusting the Holy Spirit to transform believers from the inside out.

• The authority of the Bible as an infallible and preserved revelation from God, and its usefulness for everyday life.

• The necessity of obedience to Christ in repentance and discipleship.

• Every individual as uniquely created and loved by God.

• Going the “second mile” in service to each other and our community.

• Maintaining a safe place for honesty, confession, and growth without shame. Offering love, compassion, forgiveness, and encouragement as Christ offers us.

• The regular “coming together” of believers to worship, pray, and build up the church through the sharing of their spiritual gifts.

• A congregational church structure with servant leadership and accountability.

• Our Friends heritage as a launching point for future ministry. 

• Ecumenical cooperation with the one, universal church.

The Pastor is the only staff person and he's a busy guy. He keeps no regular office hours anymore, but he would love to connect with you by appointment! Email pastor@mtcarmelfriends.com.

Expect to be warmly greeted--we love visitors! Our services are casual. You do not have to dress up or wear anything in particular. We sing hymns and contemporary praise songs, hear a sermon preached out of God's Word, occasionally receive communion, and usually have a period of "open worship." During open worship, congregation members can share what they have learned from God recently--but nobody is expected to contribute. We believe those led by the Spirit to do so will speak or sing or whatever is given to them.

No. We have not been in control of the cemetery for some time. If you need to deal with the cemetery, then you'll want to talk to the Wayne Township (Champaign County) Trustees. Call Susan, the cemetery Clerk: (937) 925-3474.
