Our church
Welcome
We are so glad you're here!
What We Believe
We believe God’s very existence is community – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe and profess the teachings of historical Christianity.
We believe and teach that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative word of God.
We believe that God created all people in His image and that they should therefore matter to us. Everyone is welcome at Memorial Methodist Church, no matter where they are in their spiritual journey.
We believe that Jesus makes forgiveness possible for everyone – His sacrificial life, death, and resurrection is a gift from God that gives us freedom from the mistakes and failures of our past and freedom to be what God created us to be. We believe embracing faith in Jesus is the only way for this restoration to happen.
We believe that taking time to investigate the claims of Christ is important; doing so within the context of community provides for a rooted spiritual life.
We believe that as followers of Jesus, we are called to holiness and to bring our lives under the leadership of Jesus. As we follow Jesus, the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us and works to transform us with sanctifying grace.
We believe that the celebration of Holy Communion is a significant way we remember Christ’s sacrificial lifestyle and anticipate His return. When we participate in the Lord’s Supper as a community, it is a time of both celebration and reflection.
We believe that baptism is a once-in-a-lifetime initiation into the Christian community. The sacrament is a gift of God’s grace that is available to persons of all ages. While no one needs to be re-baptized, we do offer frequent opportunities to remember your baptism.

FAITH & COMMUNITY
The church is one, holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic. The mission of the church is an extension of the mission of God. As Christ draws all people to himself, we participate in that work through our evangelism, worship, preaching, teaching, sacramental practice, works of mercy, works of piety, and fellowship. All those of every age and station stand in need of the grace that God has promised to extend to others through his body, the church.
LIVING LIFE INDIVIDUALLY,
TOGETHER
Men and women everywhere are born to live together, not alone. We believe we can all walk along our individual paths, together. With a strong shared sense of His love, each member of our community can find a way to live a wholesome life of faith while sharing the struggles, happy moments and wishes with other members of the church.
"Life is God's novel. Let him write it."
MAKE OUR WORLD BETTER
At Memorial Methodist we see it as a calling to connect to others through outreach in our community. Through programs such as Community Supper and Helping Hand Thrift Store our goal is to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Action in addition to prayer is how we reach others with the Gospel.
