United Methodists believe in the grace and forgiveness of God's love as illustrated by the example of Christ. As United Methodists, we are concerned with the methodical self-discipline of following our beliefs rather than focusing on a narrow doctrine. Grace sets the tone for our spiritual life as well as the environment in which we live. Conversion and new birth are the result of the action of Grace in our lives. The love and guidance of the Holy Spirit changes our heart, soul and mind.
Personal salvation is evidenced through our role in promoting missions and Christian social action.
Each of us is endowed with human dignity and the moral responsibility to protect that dignity in ourselves and those around us. Tolerance of different viewpoints permits our church to support a community of diverse believers. The invitation to join the Lord's Supper is to all who accept Christ as their Savior. A society where each person is treated with dignity A political community that protects the freedom and rights of its members.
