WHAT WE BELIEVE 

​

​

Our beliefs can be found in the Apostles' Creed here: https://www.umc.org/en/content/apostles-creed-traditional-ecumenical, and the Articles of Religion of the United Methodist Church which can be read here: https://www.umc.org/en/content/articles-of-religion

​

THE TRINITY

​

We believe in one God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

​

THE SCRIPTURES

​

We believe in the Holy Bible, which is revealed in the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. 

​

SIN

​

We believe humanity has been separated from God by sin and this has affected all of humankind.  

​

REDEMPTION

​

Redemption and forgiveness of sin is found in the grace of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

​

THE CHURCH

​

The Church is God's universal body that exists as God's community of believers under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

​

THE FUTURE

​

We believe Jesus is returning and that all will stand before him.

​

THE SACRAMENTS

​

We believe in two sacraments: Baptism and Communion. 

​

Baptism in water represents God washing away our sins through Jesus Christ. This can be celebrated by sprinkling, pouring, and immersion.  

​

Communion is celebrated with wine or juice, and bread. This represents the sacrifice that Christ has made for us with his body and blood.  All are invited to participate.
