Essex Center UMC is less a Place than it is a People:
✦People looking to create a Christian community where love is the guiding principle.
✦People who don’t claim to have all the answers, but want to engage the questions faithfully together.
✦People who respect and celebrate human diversity.
✦People who are learning (however imperfectly)to follow the teachings of Jesus, by loving God, Humanity, and Creation with full hearts, minds, souls, and strength.
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive”
-St. Iranaeus
