BELIEFS

BELIEFS

Our approach to beliefs, theology, and doctrine are summed up well by the 17th century theologian Rupertus Meldenius:

"In essentials Unity, in non-essentials Liberty, in all things Charity."

We stand on the Nicene Creed as common doctrinal ground embraced by the global church, guiding us to focus on what is central while avoiding quarrels over disputable matters (Romans 14).

We believe the Bible is the inspired story of a perfect God written by imperfect people (2 Timothy 3:14-16), and The Wesleyan Quatrilateral offers an example of how the scriptures, tradition, reason, and experience all shape how we can follow Jesus.

We welcome all persons and have no leadership limits based on race, gender, sexual identity and orientation, or physical ability, for those who confess Jesus Christ is Lord (Romans 10:9).
