Grace is God’s loving action through the Holy Spirit, unearned and undeserved. No matter where we are in our spiritual lives, we got there by grace, and we can only move forward by grace. Because we believe this so firmly, we try not to be judgmental of others.

We believe that, by God’s grace, humans have the ability to say yes or no to God’s love.

While we do not teach a works-based salvation, we do believe that faith should express itself in good works. Methodists have always felt that concern for the poor, needy, and hurting of society is part and parcel of being a Christian.
