Fremont United Methodist Church

A faith community in NE Portland that embodies Jesus’s love
and the relentless, unapologetic pursuit of equity and social justice.

WHO WE ARE

As a Reconciling Congregation

Fremont UMC affirms without equivocation that all human beings, having been created in God’s image and having received the breath and grace of God, are God’s children. Sexual orientation or gender identity have no bearing on one’s status as a beloved child of God. Our LGBTQI+ siblings are welcomed, affirmed, and fully embraced in this faith community.

Our Land Story

We humbly acknowledge that Fremont UMC is located on the ancestral and unceded land of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, and other bands of the Chinook. We honor their stewardship of the land and grieve our part in their displacement.

Creation Care

We believe that creation reflects the goodness of God. Humans, animals, plants, and all things participate in interconnected community and our mutual flourishing depends on our care for one another. Our planet has been severely impacted by overconsumption and environmental degradation. We commit to exploring ways to change our destructive behaviors and do everything in our power to lovingly tend the earth.
