What We Believe

We United Methodists believe in:
    • God's complete, undeserved love for us - God's grace;
    • The centrality of God’s grace in all human life;
    • The availability of God’s grace for everyone;
    • Salvation as personal and social;
    • The authority of the Bible, tradition, reason, and experience;
    • The essential unity of faith and works, of belief and faithfulness, of salvation and holiness;
    • The power of personal and communal prayer;
    • The church as a community of Christ’s followers who seek to share in God’s mission of making disciples;
    • The necessity of growing in grace;
    • A cooperative posture of ministry and mission in the world, often referred to as “connectionalism;”
    • The link between Christian doctrine and Christian living;
    • Regular and repeated experiences of the means of grace—worship, searching the scriptures, prayer and fasting, holy communion, and conferencing;
    • Caring for God’s Creation
