Our Values

Honoring God and His Word

The way we act reflects God. We pray that we reflect solid, biblical instruction and an expectation of Godly living. We commit ourselves, our gifts, our prayers, presence, gifts/resources, service and witness. We listen to and act upon the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

Extending Compassion

People come before programs. We demonstrate this value by providing resources for supportive, restorative community groups. Organizing and supporting groups that minister to our members in times of need. We strive to help people in need.

Inspiring Others

We lead by example and share authentic experiences. We seek to provide experiences that build up and invigorate the Body of Christ. We share our stories and equip others to share theirs. We strive to honor God by working at everything we do to the very best of our ability.

Working Together with Love & Respect

In an atmosphere of trust, we relinquish our own agendas and use our gifts to share God’s love. We seek to share experiences of missions as ONE body. We take time to listen to others and compromise when it is necessary.

FAQs

Baptism begins God's work of saving us by cleansing us of sin and beginning the work of renewing us fully into the image of Christ. The key word here is beginning. Baptism starts the process. It does not complete it. We can choose by our action or inaction to let the work begun go dormant and have no fuller effect. Or, as John Wesley sometimes put it, we may "sin away the grace received at baptism. We say baptism is the "ordinary" or "instituted" means of justifying grace. It is the usual way God has offered the church to enable people of any age to experience the justifying grace of God and the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Salvation normally begins taking root in people's lives here. From here we are invited to keep growing in sanctifying grace until by God's grace and our faithful response we are "made perfect in love in this life." We baptize with any amount of water: sprinkling, pouring or full immersion are all options in the United Methodist Church.

Infant baptism is not the same as a baby dedication found in other denominations. Baptism is our initiation into the new covenant in Jesus Christ. On the day of Pentecost, Peter offers the promise of baptism without regard to age, saying it is for those present, their children, and those far away (Acts 2:38-41). Later in Acts, we read of Paul and Silas baptizing Lydia and her household, and later their jailer with his entire family (Acts 16). We continue this practice by baptizing the children of those who reaffirm their baptismal vows, receiving them into God's mighty acts of salvation.

Communion is 1 of 2 sacraments we celebrate as United Methodists. Who can receive? We believe in an open table and that all who seek him, earnestly repent of their sins and seek to be at peace with one another may receive. During Communion, we ask the Holy Spirit to be poured on us and on the gifts of bread and wine we offer. We ask for the Spirit's outpouring to make the bread and wine be for us the body and blood of Christ so we, who receive them, may be for the world the Body of Christ redeemed by his blood. We do not offer wine but instead choose to use grape juice so as not to inhibit anyone from receiving the elements. We do also provide bread alternatives for those unable to partake in elements with gluten.
