Cortland UMC

It is our honor to have you stop by and visit us today. We encourage you to stop back on a regular basis as we are always adding new things to the site. If you have questions, or simply want to talk to someone, you can call us at 607-756-5426, or drop us an email at cortlandumc@verizon.net.

We are a community of people whose aim is to be Christ centered, on a journey, building relationships with all people and God. Relationship is the heart of what God desires with humanity. From the beginning of time God has been working to be in relationship with all of the people who were created by the hand of God, that would be everyone.

Christ Centered: Every community has a center around which it develops, ours is Jesus Christ. Not stopping at belief, we strive to live as Jesus modeled in such a way that others can experience Jesus in us.

On A Journey: We have not arrived yet, while there are some aspects of Following Jesus we have made some headway on, there are plenty of areas where we are still learning what it means to be followers of Jesus. We do not have it all figured out and we do not expect anyone else to either.

Building Relationships With All People and God: Relationships are wonderfully difficult mysteries. Some are very easy, while others are more difficult, yet we find ourselves surrounded by relationships. We work to keep the door open to everyone who would seek to know God. We also keep the door open to deepening our relationship with God. Basically, we want to get to know God and people better.
