About Us

About our church

Picture
​Keizer Clear Lake United Methodist Church is a family of caring Christians who want their bright light of faith to shine in the community and world.  We are a welcoming and relaxed group of believers, open to all who want to learn more about the life of Jesus.  We invite you to join us for worship and fellowship each Sunday morning.
​
​Our Church Vision

Our vision is to be a Christian community that welcomes all people, celebrates and proclaims God's love, develops followers of Jesus Christ and serves our community and the world.

The United Methodist Church is a 12.3-million-strong global church that opens hearts, minds and doors through active engagement with our world. Read more about the church’s mission statement.
​
​
John Wesley and the early Methodists placed a primary emphasis on Christian living and in putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as "practical divinity" has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.

Open Door Churches

Picture
Realizing we can do far more together than we can as an individual congregation, Clear Lake (along with the other United Methodist Churches in the Salem/Keizer area) have formed a unique alliance known as Open Door Churches.  Our Open Door Churches share pastoral resources, sponsor volunteer work days together, host Vacation Bible Schools, worship together on special occasions, sponsor joint youth and young adult groups, hold discipleship classes open to all, and much more.
