Why bother with church?
Christ is like water to thirst, bread to hunger, healing to hurt… Connecting around this center makes a world of difference. Church is imperfect people gradually coming to know, trust, and reflect a perfect LORD. Why bother with church? Because God calls us to relationship with God and each other. Because love grows in and through community until all the world is healed and whole.
What do we believe?
While engaging the depths of traditional Christianity, we honor a diversity of perspectives and experiences of God. “Devising formal definitions of doctrine has been less pressing for United Methodists than summoning people to faith and nurturing them in the knowledge and love of God.” (United Methodist Book of Discipline, paragraph 101.) We value scripture, tradition, life-experience, and human reason as vital resources for today’s world.
