Our Vision
To better reflect the life and work of the people and ministries of Ben Hill, a vision statement was created. As we continue to live out the vision of our church, each Vision Area embraces a piece of the vision and allows us to garner a deeper meaning and application of the overall vision. The new Vision Fusion and icons will help you identify where each ministry lives and the new Vision Area names.
“The vision of Ben Hill United Methodist Church is to share God’s love and make disciples of Jesus Christ by connecting people to God and one another wherever they are and across generations.”
