United Methodism

• God's sacrificial love in Jesus Christ changes us
• we are to love others the way Jesus loved
• we are members of Christ's universal church first and members of denominations second
• in ecumenical cooperation
• the Bible must be interpreted with the guidance of the Holy Spirit
• in an inclusive church that celebrates human diversity as a gift from God
• in worship, prayer, and spiritual disciplines
• in service and social action
•  we don't have to fear knowledge and truth
•  Christ makes us sisters and brothers whatever our religion
• we grow in grace and, therefore, we all won't be at the same point in our walk with Christ
• we live this life as witness to and hope of the life to come
