General guidance · United Methodist churches · not specific to St. Marks United Methodist Church
A warm, structured service with Scripture, music, and practical sermons. Strong children's and youth programs alongside vibrant adult ministries.
United Methodist churches welcome people from all walks of life. Their emphasis on grace means everyone — regardless of where they are on their faith journey — belongs here.
What Methodist churches generally believe
Methodists believe in the Trinity, Jesus Christ as the Son of God who died and rose again, and the Bible as God's Word, with Scripture as the primary authority, understood alongside tradition, reason and experience. Rooted in John Wesley's 18th-century revival, Methodism stresses God's grace offered to everyone, a personal response of faith, and growth in holiness. Infants and adults are baptised, and communion is usually open to all who seek Christ.
Compared with Catholics: Methodists also baptise infants, follow the church year, and many have bishops, but recognise two sacraments rather than seven and do not look to the Pope. Among Protestants they sit between liturgical churches (Lutheran, Anglican) and free-church evangelicals.
