Our Faith
This Statement of Faith describes our core beliefs as a church. There is nothing new or revolutionary about them. Actually, you will see that they are right in line with historical evangelical Christian theology. The word evangelical shows that the primary, authoritative source of our beliefs is the teaching of scripture. With the Bible as their source, these essential or core beliefs are non-negotiable, unwavering commitments. For many years, Christians have disagreed over issues for which the Bible does not give specific direction. We leave non-essential beliefs up to the freedom of the individual. As a church, we focus on the essential beliefs—those with clear, biblical support.
As United Methodists, we are proud to be influenced by the theology of John Wesley. At the conclusion of this Statement of Faith you will find links to help you better understand our Wesleyan roots. |
