The people of The United Methodist Church
Wherever you go, when you see a church with the cross and flames of the United Methodist Church, you know
that you've found your church home.
John Wesley and the early Methodists were particularly concerned about
inviting people to experience God’s grace and to grow in their knowledge and love of God through disciplined Christian living. They
placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis has continued to be a hallmark of
our church. The United Methodist Church invites you to learn more about our rich theological heritage by clicking on the link.
We all share a faith in Jesus Christ, but The United Methodist Church encourages us to think for ourselves,
so we don’t necessarily share the same opinions about every faith issue or social concern. And there are lots of us: 8.5 million United
Methodists live in the United States and 1.5 million more worldwide, with the largest growth in membership occurring in Africa and
the Philippines.
As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living
reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological
inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.
Learn how one person really can make a difference in the world by seeing how you can help others in a time
of need.
See stories of faith and find resources that will help in your ministry. And don't miss out
on the "MethoPedia."
