Basic Christianity

As United Methodists, we believe in the historic Christian faith, which is summarized in the Apostles’ Creed and other early creeds. Therefore, we share basic beliefs with most Christian denominations and communities. We believe that in Jesus Christ, God took on human flesh and lived among us. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the world can be reconciled to God.

God’s Grace

United Methodists have a unique understanding of God’s grace. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, described God’s grace in three ways: prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying grace. We receive prevenient grace before we become aware of God. Justifying grace helps us enter into a relationship with God; Sanctifying grace gradually transforms us into the likeness of Christ.

Baptism and Holy Communion

We celebrate two sacraments in the United Methodist Church: baptism and holy communion. In baptism, we profess our faith, receive God’s grace, become members of the family of Christ, and vow to serve Jesus as our Lord. In holy communion, we retell the story of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, and receive the benefits of Christ’s death and resurrection by receiving the bread and the cup.

Be Baptized
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4)

Baptism is a vital step in our spiritual journey. It signifies a spiritual rebirth and becoming a member of the body of Christ. If you’re interested in being baptized, contact Pastor Corey.
