Karen's Corner

About 6 years ago, a group of folks from Hilliard UMC began to dream of what church might be like if they could build one from scratch. How would individual and community lives be changed if high expectations like attending worship, being involved in a small group through the year, serving within the walls and beyond the walls, and moving toward a tithe in giving were established as “normal”?  And if these leaders were able to remain central in the leadership and guiding of the community, how might we look and live different from all of the other churches we pass daily? Let’s be honest: we give our lives to what we value. What if we gave more of our lives to serving God’s people through the church and beyond?

Warehouse 839 is the second congregation of Hilliard UMC. We were 5 years old in April, 2008, and we are looking to many more years of growing as authentic followers of Jesus Christ sharing God’s amazing love for the transformation of the world.

We know that no one is perfect and that we are all on a journey toward God. The vision we believe God holds before us is: God’s Unconditional Acceptance (Romans 8:39); Your Unbelievable Growth (Acts 2:42); and Our Unlimited Outreach (James 2:14-26, Matthew 25: 31-46).

Our purpose is to introduce or reintroduce God’s amazing love to those not currently active in a church. As we greet you with radical hospitality, we pray that you will be lifted by our passionate worship services which have great music. Our Pathways Team will help get you connected, and together we’ll serve others with the love of Christ.

Warehouse 839 is a church for those who are looking for something more, or who have been turned off or turned away and know that God is still searching for you. We are searching for you, and praying for you to come to Christ today.
