Why Church?

We live out our mission of "Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World." by loving God and loving our neighbors. 

We belong to a global Christian denomination rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and growing through active engagement with our world. 

The United Methodist Church connects more than 12 million members on four continents, and engages in ministry all around the world. We speak many languages, come from various cultures, and span generations. Yet, we are united in our faith in Jesus Christ. 

We share a common heritage with all Christians. According to our foundational statement of belief, we share the following basic affirmations that are common among all Christian communities.
