Our Beliefs
The United Methodist Church believes in one God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and trust in the Bible as the foundation of our faith. We believe salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith, and open to all people.
We practice two sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion.
We are called to grow in love, live out our faith, and serve others with compassion and justice.
