OUR CORE VALUES: We value Scripture as our guiding authority for what we believe and how we live. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16 We value a life of Trust in God, directed by the Spirit, nurtured in prayer. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 We value Worship as the life giving, joy filled, gathering of the people of God. “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.” Hebrews 12:28 We value the intimate daily Relationship with God which is nurtured by prayer, the daily reading of scripture, and the life of humble service. “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22 We value our Fellowship in Christ’s family and seek to provide encouragement for one another. “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25 We believe that human life is sacred and that life begins at the moment of conception. Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:4-5 For more information regarding The United Methodist Church's beliefs, please visit http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/basics-of-our-faith |
