When we become professing members of a United Methodist congregation, we profess our faith in God, our desire to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, and our commitment to join with our church community to keep the vows of our Baptismal Covenant.
​
One of those vows is to faithfully participate in the life and ministries of our local congregation through our prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness.

OUR BELIEFS
United Methodists share a common heritage with all Christians. According to our foundational statement of beliefs in The Book of Discipline, we share the following basic affirmations in common with all Christian communities:
GOD
God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons.  The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.
JESUS
We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus of Nazareth; and his life, death and resurrection demonstrate God's redeeming love.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is God's present activity in our midst. When we sense God's leading, God's challenge, or God's support or comfort, it's the Holy Spirit at work.
HUMAN BEINGS
Genesis 1:27 asserts that we've been made in the image of the Creator. Like God we have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create.
THE CHURCH
The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today.
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice.
