The Bible

 

United Methodists place Holy Scripture in a central place.  The Bible itself is a teaching tool, helping us discern what God calls each of us to do.  In itself, it is not a thing to be worshipped.  We worship God as revealed through Jesus the Christ.  The Bible tells us how God has been faithful and giving to all of the people throughout the ages.

In worship service, we read pieces of scripture, generally following the Revised Common Lectionary.  Worship is then based around one or more of the themes of those readings.

The Bible also forms the basis for our educational efforts.  Children's curriculum is biblically based, as are adult classes.  Many individuals have committed to the Disciple Bible Study program which lasts three years and carefully examines the entire Bible.

Here are some links as you begin to examine how the Bible impacts your life.  We encourage you to read the scripture, to study them, and to find out God's message of love and grace can give your life new power.
