Our Christian Beliefs

Trinity United Methodist Church is part of the movement of Christianity, with an emphasis on both grace and putting faith into action.

Below are the Basics of our Faith, adapted from the United Methodist Church.

God: God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons.

Jesus: We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus of Nazareth; and his life, death and resurrection demonstrate God's redeeming love.

The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God's present activity in our midst. When we sense God's leading, God's challenge, or God's support or comfort, it's the Holy Spirit at work.

Human Beings: Genesis 1:27 asserts that we've been made in the image of the Creator. Like God we have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create.

The Church: The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today.

The Bible: We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice.

God’s Reign: The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.
