Welcome To Our Church!
- We believe the Church belongs to God and that the Church is not a building or a particular denomination but comprised of people who believe in Jesus Christ. In the words of the apostle paul, the Church is the body of Christ. The Church is the physical presence of Christ in the World. As believers we chose to organize ourselves into a group of people known as United Methodists. Above all our aim is to do God's will. We believe God has called the Brookville United Methodist Church to the following:
- Our Purpose to build a Christian community where religious, non-religious, and nominally religious people can become deeply committed Christians.
- Our Vision is all about changing lives, transforming communities and renewing the church.
- Our Journey is knowing, loving and serving God.
- If you would like to know more about our Church or what it means to follow Christ, please call 765-647-5265 and ask to speak to our pastor or e-mail us.

He was born Raymund Kolbe on January 8 1894 in Zduńska Wola, in the Kingdom of Poland, which was a part of the Russian Empire, the second son of Juliu
s Kolbe and Maria Dabrowska. His father and mother were common people; and like multitudes of common people, except for the hand of providence the world might never have heard of Raymund.
His journey to fame began in 1907 when Kolbe and his elder brother Francis decided to join the Conventual Franciscans who named him Maximilian. In 1918, Kolbe was ordained a priest. In 1919, he returned to the newly independent Poland, founding and supervising the monastery of Niepokalanów near Warsaw, a seminary, a radio station, and several other organizations and publications. After the outbreak of World War II, Kolbe provided shelter to refugees from Greater Poland in his friary in Niepokalanów. On February 17 1941, he was arrested by the German Gestapo and imprisoned in the Pawiak prison. On May 28, he was transferred to Auschwitz as prisoner #16670.

The month of April seems to have more than its share of tragic historical events. One tragedy still stirs the interest of multitudes: "Gentlemen, I 
regret to say that the Titanic sank at 2:20 this morning”…there had been a "horrible loss of life." The announcement was made at 7:00 p.m. April 15, 1912, by Philip Franklin, vice president of the White Star Line in New York. Just hours before when asked about rumors of Titanic’s sinking Franklin had replied, "We believe that the boat is unsinkable." The unthinkable and unsinkable had indeed sunk in the North Atlantic.
The mood onboard Titanic that fateful night was of merriment revelry and gaiety. Except for a few crew members no one had any inkling of the danger they were in. The band was playing; people were dancing, eating, and enjoying life. Then it happened shortly before midnight— Titanic struck the iceberg. Many passengers were asleep, but a good number were still partying. Initially there was little evidence of the collision. The stewards in the First Class Dining Room noticed a shudder; many of the passengers felt a bump or shudder.
Christianity Is Not Based on Works The Bible tells us that: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:8-10). This is the foundation of our relationship with God. No amount of earthly works or penance will draw us close to God or make us acceptable in his sight. It is through his son Jesus Christ--God's gift to the world--that we have been reconciled to our God and creator. Man Was Created In The Image Of God So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27). Man disobeyed God and in doing so became a transgressor and corrupted himself and his descendants. It is through the workmanship of Christ that humans are forgiven and reconciled to God and can once again live as the image of God! Pastor Bond - Senior Pastor
Rev. Curtis Bond has been the pastor of Brookville United Methodist Church since July of 2008. He is articulate, animated, gregarious, and his sermons are always Biblically based.
Curtis grew up attending a United Methodist Church but began his ministry and education with the Pentecostals. For almost twenty years he pastored a Pentecostal church. However God wasn't finished with his education and ministry; He called him back to the United Methodist Church. For the past fourteen years he has been a United Methodist Church pastor.
If asked he will tell you coming back to the United Methodist Church makes perfect sense. First he has found many former Pentecostal pastors are now United Methodist pastors. Second many of the early Pentecostal founders were Wesleyan or Episcopal Methodist; therefore Pentecostalism is steeped in Wesleyan and Methodist theology!
We Believe the Bible to be the Word Of God John Wesley believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason.
United Methodists profess the historic Christian faith in God, incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation and ever at work in human history in the Holy Spirit. Living in a covenant of grace under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we participate in the first fruits of God's coming reign and pray in hope for its full realization on earth as in heaven..We Believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God We believe that Jesus was the Son of God, the child of the virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit, truly God and truly Man, who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven. He is eternal Savior and Mediator, who intercedes for us and by him all persons will be judged.
