OUR MISSION
Elm Park United Methodist Church's mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
OUR BELIEFS
ABOUT GOD
God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons.
ABOUT JESUS
We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus of Nazareth;
and his life, death and resurrection demonstrates God’s redeeming love.
ABOUT BEING A DISCIPLE
ABOUT 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.
ABOUT 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.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today.
ABOUT THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is the primary authority for our faith and practice.
ABOUT GOD’S REIGN
The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.
ABOUT HEAVEN & HELL
ABOUT GRACE
