We are a United Methodist congregation who holds fast to the teachings of The United Methodist Church. We believe in the God who created the world and all that is in it. We believe that Jesus being both fully human and fully divine is the incarnate embodiment of the fullest expression of God’s love alive in the world. We believe that the Holy Spirit guides us and empowers us along the way that leads to life. We believe in the Triune God recognized as: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and hold fast to the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments. The gift of God’s Grace is center in our life and teaching. We believe that the life, death, and
resurrection of Jesus reconciles us to God, each other, and all of creation.
Our life together is ordered around the living of the Kingdom of God realities, so that we might be partnered with God in rising Heaven all around us here on the earth.
