What We Believe as Methodists

---

• God is bigger and better and closer than we can imagine.
• The Bible is God’s perfect guidebook for living.
• Jesus is God showing himself to us.
• Through His Holy Spirit, God lives in and through us now.
• Nothing in creation “just happened.” God made it all.
• Grace is the only way to have a relationship with God.
• God wants to have a relationship with you!
• Faith is the only way to grow in our relationship with God.
• God has allowed evil to provide us with a choice, God can bring good even out of evil events and God promises victory over evil to those who choose him.
• Heaven and hell are real places. Death is a beginning, not the end.
• The church is to serve people like Jesus served people.
• Jesus is coming again.
• We can become more like Jesus.
