Who are we, and what do we believe in?

Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) is a cell church.

Every worshipper is expected to be actively involved in a cell. We meet in homes weekly to edify one another and to evangelise the unsaved. The cells are basic building blocks of church life in DUMC and every Christian, who is a minister, is equipped through the School of Leadership (SOL) to do the work of ministry through the cells. The cells may cluster in different areas for special “Congregation” activities but assemble altogether every Saturday and Sunday for the “Celebration” of God’s grace, goodness and power.

DUMC seeks to be a community modelled after the Early Church in the Book of Acts (Acts 2:42-47) in terms of 6 W’s.

  • She seeks to be a ‘Word’ (‘the apostles’ teaching’) community where her members give themselves to learning and applying the Word of God in daily life.
  • She takes ‘Warfare’ (‘prayer’) seriously where members earnestly pray for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
  • She continues to long for a ‘Wonders’ (‘many wonders and miraculous signs’) community where healing, deliverance and the miraculous are a normal part of church life.
  • She seeks to be a ‘Works’ (‘they gave to anyone as he had need’) community where members would share and do good to one another and the society.
  • She will give herself to the ‘Worship’ (‘continue to meet together in the temple courts’) of the living God that is authentic, exuberant and dynamic.
  • She would be a ‘Witness’ (‘the Lord added to their numbers’) community where she continues to testify to the Good News, grace and power of Christ so that people are daily being saved.

DUMC desires to be a servant to society at large. To be in the mainstream of society making her contribution and having an impact. In fact, she sees the whole Klang Valley as her pastoral responsibility together with all the other churches in it. Hence, she seeks to work with churches across different denominations to fulfil that responsibility. In DUMC, we are cultivating core values and a culture that is biblical and holistic. The following are the values and culture we promote:

  • Integrity
  • Respect
  • Trust
  • Excellence
  • Accountability
  • Good stewardship
  • Faith
  • Hope
  • Love
  • Humility
  • Holiness
  • Personalness

Because time is short and life is precious, all who are in DUMC are challenged to have a sense of destiny of their future, lay hold of that destiny and make their lives count in a significant way for the Kingdom of God. Our vision is to build a church that is strong, vibrant, dynamic and community transforming.

Such is the ethos of DUMC.
