Our Roots
The Methodist Faith
Learn more by clicking the “What we believe” button.
The distinctive shape of our theological heritage can be seen not only in this emphasis on Christian living, but also in Wesley’s distinctive understanding of God’s saving grace. Although Wesley shared with many other Christians, a belief in salvation by grace, he combined them in a powerful way to create distinctive emphases for living the full Christian life.

Our Values
Salvation
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Everything we do points to Jesus.
Prayer
God is always listening and we are always praying, knowing that God’s way is best. Conversation with God becomes a way of life.
God's Word
The Word points the way.
We trust in the authority of the Word to provide us truth about who God is and how we should live in response.
Generosity
We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.
The Church
The church does not exist for us, we are the church and exist for the world.
Worship
We believe that worship happens all week long as we honor God with our lives.
Community
We were made to be in relationships with others. We are a church of groups because it’s the best way for us to grow in our faith journey.
