What We Believe
First United Methodist Church teaches that our God:
- Created and is sustaining all that exists, and God’s truth is revealed to us in the Bible;
- Entered human history in Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified and risen Savior, that we might know we are loved and empowered by God’s grace alone;
- Provided a foundation for ministry in the historical witness of the Christian Church, especially in the ecumenical creeds.
- Works through the church for the redemption of creation by the power of the Holy Spirit;
- Changes lives through the gospel of Jesus Christ, calling Christians to live lives of:
a.Continuous renewal.
b.Discovering new ways to communicate and live out the gospel of Jesus Christ before the world.
c.Welcome and witness to all no matter where they are on life’s journey
of faith.
d.Practicing compassion and justice as signs of Christ’s presence in
the world.
