This page is just barely started. We United Methodists join all Christian groups in viewing the Bible as the primary source and norm for Christian belief and conduct. We do not turn to the Bible because it will improve our cultural background, though it will do that. We read it prayerfully because we want to know God's will and purpose for our lives. In the ongoing of life we soon discover that our human treasures, like our fashions, come and go.
Many books tumble off our presses and flow downstream into the vast ocean of oblivion.
We are fascinated for fleeting moments by the literature of the day. But in the midst of what comes and passes away we find some things which are neither new nor old but ageless because they come from God . So the Bible abides. We Believe in God United Methodists join all Christians and the people of all high religions in believing in God. We believe that the one true God is the Ground and Lord of this universe.
