What We Believe...

As a United Methodist congregation, our beliefs are rooted in Scripture, shaped by the historic Christian faith, and lived out through the Wesleyan tradition. We hold to the essentials with conviction and hold everything else with grace — because we believe faith is meant to be a journey we walk together, not a checklist we complete alone.

We believe in one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; a Trinity of perfect love, present and active in creation, in Christ, and in our lives today.

We believe grace is God's free gift, offered before we ever seek it. God’s Grace isn’t earned; it is freely given. No one is beyond the reach of God's love, and no one is excluded from the invitation to new life in Christ.

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that he lived, died, and rose again for the salvation of the world, and that new life is offered to all who place their trust in him. This is a gift received by faith, not something earned.

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the primary authority for Christian faith and life. Through the Old and New Testaments, God's story is told — a story of creation, covenant, redemption, and the hope of new life offered through Jesus Christ.

We come to Scripture not to master it, but to be shaped by it. We read it together in worship, wrestle with it in Bible studies and small groups, and let it form how we live, love, and serve. We believe the Bible reveals what is necessary for salvation and for a faithful life, and that its truth is best understood in community, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Following John Wesley, we also believe God speaks through reason, the wisdom of Christian tradition, and the lived experience of believers, all working together to help us understand Scripture and grow in faith.

Our Sacraments

The sign and seal of God's grace, marking the beginning of a person's journey with Christ and their welcome into the family of the church. We baptize infants and adults alike, trusting that God's grace reaches us long before we're able to fully understand or claim it for ourselves. However you come to this sacrament — as a family presenting a child, or as an adult professing faith for the first time — you'll be welcomed with joy.

A means of grace, a sacred meal where we remember Christ's sacrifice, experience his presence, and are nourished for the journey of faith. Ours is an open table: we don't require church membership or a particular theology of the meal to participate. All who seek to know and love Christ are welcome to receive.
