Our Beliefs

As a merged church, we draw upon the rich traditions and theological foundations of both the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church. While we have distinct historical roots, we are united in our core beliefs and our commitment to following Jesus Christ.

Key Beliefs

• Trinity: We believe in one God, eternally existing as three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• Scripture: The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the primary source of our faith and practice.
• Salvation: We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace, made possible through faith in Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice.
• Church: The Church is the body of Christ, called to proclaim the gospel, serve others, and work for justice and peace.
• Sacraments: We recognize two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism signifies new life in Christ,and the Lord's Supper is a memorial of Christ's death and resurrection.

Our Approach to Theology and Practice

While we draw from both United Methodist and Presbyterian traditions, we also recognize the diversity of thought within our church. We strive to maintain a balance between tradition and innovation, seeking to uphold essential truths while remaining open to new understandings.

We are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community where all are valued and respected. We believe that our differences can enrich our faith and strengthen our bonds as a church.
