What We Believe

The United Methodist Church is a 12.3-million-strong global church that opens hearts, opens minds and open doors through active engagement with our world. 

John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as “practical divinity” has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.

We invite you to learn more about our rich theological heritage.

Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason. It is our part, by religion and reason joined, to counteract them all we can.

John Wesley

 

Open Hearts

We believe that living a life inspired by God’s love compels us to offer help, hope, and healing to those looking for more meaning in their lives.

 

Open Minds

We believe God’s grace is available to all people, no matter where you’re from, what you look like, or what you’ve done.

 

Open Doors

We believe in welcoming others into our lives, but also in taking action outside the walls of the church to serve our neighbors, next door and around the world.
