What We Believe
The Global Methodist Church is a denomination that opens hearts, opens minds and opens doors through active engagement with our world. The mission of The Global Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as “practical divinity” has continued to be a hallmark of Global Methodism today.
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.
