METHODISTS BELIEFS

Our beliefs are founded and rooted in Scripture and informed by experience, reason, and tradition. The following are some important aspects of our faith:

Scripture: Scripture is inspired by God and contains all things necessary for our faith and is fully reliable in all it teaches.

The Trinity: We believe that there is one God infinite in power, wisdom, and goodness and that in the unity of this Godhead there are three persons of one substance, power, and eternity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ: The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ was both fully God and fully human. He was crucified to reconcile us to God and so that we could have forgiveness of our sins. He rose again from the dead bodily and ascended into heaven and remains there until He returns for His Church.

The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is of one substance, majesty and glory with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is God present with us in all of life. We are never alone!

Salvation: The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. No amount of good works could ever make us deserving of salvation. IT is a gift given by God to all who put their faith in Christ.

Sacraments: Baptism marks our entry into the household of faith. It is a sign of God’s love for us and our commitment to God. The Lord’s Supper is a reminder of Christ’s redemption and a celebration of His presence with us. In our tradition the Lord’s table is open to all persons who call upon Christ.
