Our theology is below, but we hope that we provide an atmosphere where everyone can participate from their own perspective. We honor each persons beliefs. See below for an introduction to our pastor.
Our Beliefs
Our church is a member of the United Methodist Church, a Christian, worldwide denomination of more than 11 million people. Our denomination holds a number of shared beliefs and theological practices in common, and you’ll find an easy-to-understand, thorough overview of them at the official United Methodist Website.
Our Mission
We believe that God’s love is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. That’s why we celebrate diversity and inclusion in our church and our community.
