Our beliefs:
At St. Johns United Methodist Church, we uphold the foundational truths of the
Christian faith, as articulated in the Apostles’ Creed:
-
We profess our belief in one God, the Creator and sustainer of the universe.
-
We affirm our faith in the Trinity, acknowledging one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We embrace Jesus Christ as both fully human and fully divine, recognizing Him as our Savior and the wellspring of grace.
We extend God’s grace to all individuals, practicing open Communion to welcome
everyone to Christ’s table, regardless of their background or church affiliation. We
firmly hold that salvation is a divine gift, freely bestowed and received through
faith.
Our faith transcends mere personal conviction; it compels us to embody God’s
love in the world. Following the example of John Wesley, the Methodist
movement’s founder, we strive for a faith that is both individual and communal.
We believe that spiritual growth flourishes within a supportive community and
through active engagement in the world.
