• We hold in common with all Christians a faith in the mystery of salvation in and through Jesus Christ
• We share the Christian belief that God's redemptive love is realized in human life by the activity of the Holy Spirit, both in personal experience and in the community of believers
• We understand ourselves to be part of Christ's universal church when by adoration, proclamation, and service we become conformed to Christ.
• With other Christians we recognize that the reign of God is both a present and future reality
• We share with many Christian communities a recognition of the authority of Scripture in matters of faith, the confession that our justification as sinners is by grace through faith, and the sober realization that the church is in need of continual reformation and renewal

As United Methodists

• We believe God's grace is available to EVERYONE
• Both faith and good works belong within the theology of grace because they both come through God's love
• Scriptual Holiness entails more than just personal faith; love of God is ALWAYS linked with love of neighbor, a passion for justice and renewal in the life of the world.
• We emphasize the nurturing and serving function of Christian fellowship in the Church.

Our doctrine and discipline follow the Three General Rules...

• Do no harm, avoiding evil of every kind
• Do Good of every possible sort and as far as possible
• Attend to the ordinances of God, worship, study, communion, fasting, prayer
