"You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, and with all your mind. . . . You must love your neighbor as you love yourself"
United Methodist beliefs are rooted in historic Christianity, the Wesleyan tradition, and the denomination’s doctrinal standards. We affirm the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds as foundational statements of faith
The United Methodist Church teaches core Christian doctrines—such as belief in the Trinity, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the authority of the Bible—while emphasizing God’s grace (prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying) and active Christian living expressed through service, discipleship, and social holiness.
