There are different ways to state beliefs.

One approach is through “doctrine” — clearly defined statements, principles, and positions that outline our theology. Another approach is to tell the story of God — the sweeping, redemptive story revealed in Scripture — and invite people to respond to that amazing story with faith and trust.

Methodists have often been known as thoughtful and “methodical,” yet also deeply practical and warm-hearted in their pursuit of God and truth. As we consider our beliefs, or theology, Methodists are people who believe all need the redemptive work of Jesus, the Christ, for life right now.

"A thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I came to give life—life in all its fullness. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep." --- Jesus says in John 10:10-11, NCV

Holy Bible (Doctrine)
The canonical books of the Old and New Testaments are the primary rule and authority for faith, morals, and service, against which all other authorities must be measured.

Jesus is the Son of God.

God is love and you are loved!
“We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Every true expression of love begins with Him. His love is constant and unchanging. God loves us fully and invites us to respond by choosing to love Him.

Sin separates us from God.
In God there is no sin. When people (or groups of people) choose to sin, they choose their own ways and do not listen to God. They separate themselves from a good God to choose evil.

Jesus is raised from the dead!
What's the point? Jesus is who he said he is - God here on earth! God is victorious over death-more power than humanly possible! Since he is who he said he is ... then we have a choice - to choose eternal life (in love) or death (hell eternal).

Be baptized.
After rising from death to life, Jesus appeared to his disciples over a period of 40 days. He said, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved..." (Mark 16:16) Baptism is a symbol of dying to sin, and raising to new life.
