What We Believe

As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.

John Wesley's Notes on the Bible
From Genesis to Revelation

Social Creed From the Book of Discipline

"The Book of Discipline is the book of law of The United Methodist Church. The Discipline is the instrument for setting forth the laws, plan, polity, and process by which United Methodists govern themselves."

Preamble to the United Methodist Church Constitution  Español-
The church is a community of all true believers under the Lordship of Christ. It is the redeemed and redeeming fellowship in which the Word of God is preached by persons divinely called, and the sacraments are duly administered according to Christ’s own appointment.

UMC.org Music Reviews

Each month, UMC.org publishes six critical reviews of recently released compact discs. A critical review is one in which the writer describes and evaluates the piece of music and supports this evaluation with clear evidence. Every two weeks, three new reviews are published.

Though UMC.org reviews music of all genres, titles are chosen based on their message. Meaning, we will only review music that challenges its listeners to ponder significant issues facing us as Christians.


UMC.org Book Reviews

Once a month, UMC.org, the official online ministry of The United Methodist Church, publishes a critical review of a recently released book of fiction or non-fiction. What makes Book Reviews unique is that it pays special attention to the spiritual and “human condition” elements of the narrative.

UMC.org feels a responsibility to only highlight books that we believe are worth your time to read, and spend your money on. The intent of Book Reviews is not simply to promote the book, but to encourage small group interaction and discussion.

Along with each review comes a list of study questions and activities, providing a basis for further examination.
