Welcome
Who We Are
We're an active United Methodist congregation, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities to be part of our community. We've been in Frederick a long time, but our congregation is changed with each newcomer who sets foot in the door. Our vision is to cast God's love and hope into the entire community. Our mission is simple: Together we reach, transform, and equip people for a lifelong relationship with Christ.
United Methodist Beliefs
United Methodists share many beliefs with other Christian denominations. We believe that all human beings were created in the image of God. We believe that sin has entered the world and brokenness is all around. We believe that Jesus Christ is part of God's way of restoring Creation and reconciling the world. We believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ and a coming New Creation. We believe the Holy Spirit is God's presence with us daily, and the Bible is a living, breathing, story of God's involvement with the world.
But most of all, Methodists love to talk about grace. Grace goes before us, beside us, and ahead of us all our days. The grace of God inspires us to work for social holiness-- it's not enough to believe the "right things" we work for a better world around us.
