We offer a community of faith, hope and love to each other, our city, and to the world.

We Are Glad
That You Are Here

Welcome to the online home of Bellemont Methodist Church

Bellemont Methodist Church has an Outward focus and approach to Ministry.

Here at Bellemont Methodist Church we have a passion for our community and its people. BMC strives to reach out to and accept those the “Church” often rejects. We know that we are never going to reach someone we choose to isolate. God calls us to go where they (people outside the church) are. We joyfully enter their world and be ourselves.

Youth Ministry

Youth groups exists to establish meaningful relationships between mature adult believers and students for the purpose of helping the student grow in their relationship with the Lord.

Children Ministry

Providing a moral pillar of support can transform the way that the future world looks. Children’s ministry curriculum teaches many things about the Bible, Jesus, and God, but it also teaches fundamental life lessons and guidance on how to navigate the tougher days of life.

Excel-Afterschool Program

As a program, we are committed to providing a safe, wholesome environment which allows each individual child to have fun and experience growth opportunities in the areas of independence, responsibility, and decision making.

Scouting Ministry

An effective coordinator addresses the concerns and conditions of children and youth in the community and church through scouting and other youth-serving organizations. Young people will grow to understand themselves through a plan for nurture and service.

About Our church.
God calls us to go where they (people outside the church) are. We joyfully enter their world and be ourselves. We will not ask anyone to clean their lives up before coming to our church. Instead we invite all to COME AS YOU ARE and be a part of a BIGGER STORY for your life and your family. Our staff and congregation are excited to meet you!

Our Beliefs

Faith is the basic orientation and commitment of our whole being—a matter of heart and soul. Christian faith is grounding our lives in the living God as revealed especially in Jesus Christ. It’s both a gift we receive within the Christian community and a choice we make. It’s trusting in God and relying on God as the source and destiny of our lives. 

We hope to see you soon, and pray that God’s grace and peace will be made known to you in a very real way in your life!

Our Theological Journey

Theology is thinking together about our faith and discipleship. It’s reflecting with others in the Christian community about the good news of God’s love in Christ.

Scripture

In our theological journey we study the Bible within the believing community. Even when we study it alone, we’re guided and corrected through dialogue with other Christians. We interpret individual texts in light of their place in the Bible as a whole.

Tradition

Between the New Testament age and our own era stand countless witnesses on whom we rely in our theological journey. Through their words in creed, hymn, discourse, and prayer, through their music and art, through their courageous deeds, we discover Christian insight by which our study of the Bible is illuminated.
