THE PRIMACY OF GRACE
Grace, simply defined, is God’s gift-giving nature – the powerful, undeserved, loving activity of God in human existence.

THE CENTRALITY OF JESUS
God’s initiative of love is uniquely and ultimately expressed in Jesus Christ. Jesus is literally “grace personified”.

THE NECESSITY OF CONVERSION
If Jesus is God’s ultimate gift of grace, then conversion is consciously saying “yes” to the Gift and “thanks” to the Giver.

THE GOAL OF MATURITY
The goal of the Christian life is to look to Jesus for guidance and look like Jesus in lifestyle; what methodists call holiness of heart and life.

THE PRIORITY OF MINISTRY
Ministry is meeting the needs of people with the power of Christ.

THE GUIDANCE OF SCRIPTURE
United Methodist Christians hold the Bible as God’s inspired and essential witness to God’s redeeming work toward God’s creation.

THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH
The Bible describes the church as “the body of Christ;” that is, the visible and communal expression of Jesus in the world.

CONCERN FOR SOCIETY
Jesus is God’s indispensable gift not only to individuals, but to all levels and expressions of human community. Marriages, families, neighborhoods, corporations, cities, states, governments and nations, and the whole earth need Jesus as much as any individual does.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MULTIPLICATION
The church of Jesus Christ is meant to be a movement and we believe that in order to be a movement we must multiply.  We are committed to multiplying our impact through church planting and multiplication.
