You are welcome in The United Methodist Church. If you grew up attending a church of a different denomination, you are welcome. If you left the church, you are welcome to come back and join us. If you struggle with faith and have questions, you are welcome in the United Methodist Church. We are proud to be Dakotas UMC.  

Since 2001, the brand promise, "Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors." has been featured on billboards, television ads, and computer banners promoting The United Methodist Church. 

The word open describes the state of our hearts, minds, and doors. Sometimes we put it this way, "Our hearts, our minds, and our doors are always open." It is a symbol of welcome.
