OUR BELIEFS

Below are our fundamentals, the basis of our teaching and preaching.

BELIEFS

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.

We were Made for love

FAITH & COMMUNITY

The Church is one, holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic. Its mission flows from and participates in the mission of God himself. As Christ draws all people to himself, the Church shares in this work through evangelism, worship, preaching, teaching, the administration of the sacraments, works of mercy and piety, and life together in fellowship. People of every age and condition stand in need of the grace God has promised to make known and available through his body, the Church.

VISIT US

LIVING LIFE INDIVIDUALLY,

TOGETHER

Men and women everywhere are meant to live in fellowship rather than alone. While each person follows an individual journey, we believe those journeys are enriched when shared. Through a strong common foundation in His love, our community encourages every member to live a faithful and wholesome life, sharing both challenges and blessings with one another.
