our beliefs
United Methodists profess the historic Christian faith in God as Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We experience God in numerous ways and affirm that Jesus Christ is Lord of all. Our mission is to Love God. Love People.
The United Methodist Church is a global denomination that opens hearts, opens minds and opens doors through active engagement with our world. The mission of The United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as "practical divinity" has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.
