God: God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons.

Jesus: We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus whose life, death, and resurrection demonstrate God’s redeeming love.

Human Beings: With all Christians, United Methodists believe that all people are made in the image of the Creator. Genesis 1:27 asserts that we’ve been made in the image of the Creator. Like God, we are spirits, but we live in a physical body. We have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create.

The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God’s present activity in our midst. When we sense God’s leading, God’s challenge, or God’s support or comfort, it’s the Holy Spirit at work.

The Church: The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today.

The Bible: We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice.

Outreach: In trying to show the mercy of Christ we believe we need to reach out to others both with the good news of a fulfilling life through Christ, and with practical help like food, shelter, clothing and assistance of different kinds.
