Bothell United Methodist Church

Join us in wishing our Director of Operations, Jeremy, a wonderful birthday! May God continue to surround you with joy and love throughout the year!

God didn't give Abram a map. Just a promise and an invitation to go.

Most of us want certainty before we move. But the blessing is already here. The only question is where it's asking you to go next.

Join us for worship at live.bothellumc.org as we continue our series, Beyond Fear! This week, we turn to call of Abram and trusting God beyond comfort and familiarity.

Remember, You are Welcome! YOU BELONG!

To our LGBTQ+ Family and Friends:

Your stories, your faith, your courage, and your joy have shaped this community. Bothell UMC is who we are BECAUSE OF YOU! This Pride Month, we say it loud: you are SEEN. You are KNOWN. You are BELOVED.

HAPPY PRIDE. 🏳️‍🌈

This week, the government launched a website that describes human beings as aliens, complete with a map tracking arrests in your neighborhood and a tip line to report your neighbors.

WE WANT TO SAY CLEARLY: this is not the story we believe about the world. We believe every person — regardless of where they were born, what language they speak, or what documents they carry — bears the image of God. That is not a political statement. That is a theological one.

God does not ask us to fear the stranger. God asks us to welcome them. Over and over again, the people of God are reminded: you were once strangers too. Fear tells us to see neighbors as threats. But we belong to a different story, one that begins not with scarcity and suspicion, but with abundance, blessing, and the irreducible dignity of every human life.

No one is an alien. EVERYONE BELONGS. Let us lead with love ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
