As a member of the United Methodist Church our doctrine and beliefs are as follows....
We believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; and on the third day He rose from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty! It is from there that He will come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Universal church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
