What We Believe
In considering our beliefs as Christians,
we are immediately led to the awesome and mysterious nature of our divine, triune God.
​
We believe in one everlasting God, manifest in three persons.
We believe in God the Father as our creator and maker, the source of all creation.
We believe Jesus is God's son, fully divine and fully human, sent to earth to redeem us from our sins.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the sustainer and guide of all.
​
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
~ John 3:16
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

Baptism
The United Methodist Church places an emphasis on infant baptism.
​It is our understanding that baptism is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual grace. God's love for us is shown in His prevenient grace - meaning that He shows His love for us before we even know Him.
While infant baptism is preferred, older children and adults may also be baptized.
Confirmation is available for those who were too young or not able to make the vows for themselves at their baptism.
Holy Communion
Open Communion
We celebrate an "Open Communion" at Hope United Methodist Church, meaning everyone is welcome to participate. We invite you to join us as we share the Lord's Supper at the altar rail.
​
For everyone's safety, we offer individual prefilled chalices that include a gluten-free wafer.
