Why do we exist?


Our church is not our building. It is our people. We hope you have a positive experience in which you are loved and not judged. 


Our mission is to glorify God by intentionally sharing Jesus Christ and leading people into a fully devoted relationship with Him.


Our purpose is simple. We basically do three things:

  • Connect people to God.
  • Connect people to People.
  • Connect people to Service.

Our covenant explains the daily practices we believe are essential to faith.

Connecting people to God

Our top priority is to help people connect with God through a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that God wants everyone to find their way to Him, and we’re dedicated to making that happen.


Connecting people to People

Our second goal is to help people build connections with others by getting involved in smaller groups. Whether on Sunday mornings or during the week, we believe that we’re made to need and seek relationships with other believers. Joining a group is where you'll find discipleship, encouragement, and support.


Connecting people to Service

Our third goal is to connect people with opportunities to serve. Jesus called us to be servants, and it's through serving others that we truly live out our faith. By getting involved in ministry, you'll not only grow in your own journey but also help others connect with God and start their own faith journey.

Church Covenant (established 1936)

If you want to learn more about what it means to be a member of Murray Hill, our church covenant provides a detailed look at our beliefs. Established in 1936, this covenant outlines what membership involves. We want you to know that all questions are welcome here, and you won’t be judged for any doubts or struggles along your faith journey. There’s no pressure to join—membership is something you should decide prayerfully and at your own pace.


We covenant with Christ and one another to establish as our minimum personal objectives: 

  • Meet God daily in a set time of prayer. 
  • Let God confront us daily through the Scriptures. 
  • Grow in love the Christian community and all people, remembering the command, "Love one another as I have loved you." 
  • Worship weekly-normally with our church. 
  • Be a vital contributing member of one of the church ministries. 
  • Give proportionately, with the tithe as the minimum goal for each member. 
  • Share our faith individually by word and deed with those whom we meet daily. 
  • Confess and ask the help of our fellowship should we fail in these expressions of devotion.
