Book Study:
Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy

Beth Moore's study, Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy shows how individuals can live with integrity in today's self-absorbed society. Join Beth in a faith-building study of prophecy and learn how to shine for Christ in our modern culture. Just as the prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressures—to compromise his faith, to live in a hostile culture, and to confront temptations and threats—today's believers face many of the same trials.

This 12-session study, falls in two parts. The first portion, from Daniel chapters 1-6, deals with Daniel's life as he faced the kind of pressures and temptations Christians encounter today. Daniel models how to develop enduring integrity in an enticing world. The second portion, chapters 7-12, explores thrilling prophecies from the time of Daniel through the second coming of Christ." Study book: $15.00

Our Mission Statement
The mission of West Market Street United Methodist Church is to glorify God as we make, nurture and send forth disciples of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to the West Market Street United Methodist Church web site. In 1830, we helped to establish the Methodist Church in Greensboro and completed our first sanctuary. In 1893, we opened the doors to our present sanctuary. From our earliest years until today, West Market Street United Methodist Church has been in ministry as a congregation drawn from all corners of Greensboro, Guilford County, and surrounding areas. We invite you to read about the wide range of programs for children, youth, young adults, and older adults; our far-reaching ministries; and the life of our church. Then come visit our church and join us in the worship of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  For additional information contact any member of our staff.
