a note from our pastor

 Greetings in the precious name of Jesus Christ!

 On behalf of our church family, thank you for visiting our homepage. We are grateful that you are here, and we want you to know that you are welcome in this place.

My name is Victor Han, and I am a Korean-American pastor joyfully serving the people and community of Cape Cod alongside my wife, Joyce, and our five children: Lydia, Abe, Grace, Esther, and Hannah. Ministry is a shared calling for our family, and we feel deeply blessed to walk this journey of faith together with you.  

 I find great joy in the simple rhythms of daily life: gardening, reading, journaling, walking in nature, and running. Running, in particular, has become a meaningful spiritual practice for me. It is my quiet time with God – a space to pray, reflect, release my burdens, and simply rest in God’s presence.

 Let me share a little about who we are and where we come from.Methodism came to Cape Cod in the late 18th century. In its early days, Methodist believers were not always welcomed by established churches, but over time, the movement grew through faithful disciples who shared the love and grace of Jesus Christ.

 Here in South Yarmouth, early Methodists first gathered in homes before building a meeting house in the old Methodist burying ground on Willow Street in Bass River (1809–1852). In 1852, a new church building was built at our current location on Old Main Street, then known as “Friend’s Village.” In 2027, we will joyfully celebrate our 175th anniversary as a church family!

 Today, we continue to seek God’s faithfulness by following Jesus Christ and treasuring his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7). This vision shapes who we are and who we are becoming:

 First, we are a worshiping community.
We believe we are called to love God with our whole hearts and to live differently from the world, not by withdrawing from the world, but by being transformed by God’s grace. Together, we seek to honor God, delight in God, and grow deeper in our love for God.

 Second, we are a disciple-making community.
We desire to be faithful followers of Jesus who not only learn his teachings but also live them out with joyful obedience. As we grow as disciples, we seek to help others discover the joy of following Christ.

 Third, we are a caring community.
Following the example of Jesus, we seek to welcome and serve all people with open hearts and open arms, especially those who are searching, hurting, lonely, or in need. We believe that God’s love is shared one person at a time.

 If you have any questions about our church, please feel free to reach out anytime. I would be honored to hear your story and walk with you in faith.

 Thank you again for visiting our website. We are grateful that you are considering becoming part of this beloved community as we continue our journey toward becoming “the most loving place in town.”

 We invite you to come, worship with us, grow with us, and experience the love of Jesus Christ with us. Welcome aboard!
