Who We Are As Methodists
Our Church...The United Methodist Church
With Christians
of other communions we confess
belief in the triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Wesley
believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed
in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal
experience, and confirmed by reason.
The Sacraments
We believe the Sacraments, ordained by Christ, are symbols and pledges of the Christian's profession and of God's love toward us. They are the means of grace by which God works invisibly in us, quickening, strengthening and confirming our faith in him. Two Sacraments are ordained by Christ our Lord, namely Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Scripture
United Methodists share with other Christians the conviction that Scripture is the primary source and criterion for Christian doctrine. Through Scripture the living Christ meets us in the experience of redeeming grace. We are convinced that Jesus Christ is the living Word of God in our midst whom we trust in life and death.
