Statement:
Our church is one of over 41,000 congregations of United Methodism in
the world. We hold to the basic teachings of Christianity, and consider
ourselves part of the whole church of Jesus Christ, made up of many
denominations.
We are followers of Jesus Christ; but the founder of our family of
Christians, John Wesley, gave emphasis to certain Christian truths:
- Everyone can know God's love through Christ and be changed. This is
God's "amazing grace."
- This grace fills us with an assurance that we are God's beloved
children, and gives us courage to live our lives with strength, integrity,
love and compassion.
- God wants us, both as individuals and as communities, to be better
than we are. So we are active in applying God's truth to our own lives, and
to the larger communities of which we are a part.
- While we are bound together by these truths, we celebrate a wide
diversity in opinions about many matters. John Wesley said that Methodists
are not defined by their opinions, but by how much they love God and "shed
God's love abroad in the world."
United Methodists are tied together by a unique connectional structure
enabling a strong presence throughout the world, and our local congregation
is a vital part of that connection.
