United Methodists believe God’s love is a free gift—offered to all people before we do anything to earn it. Through Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit, we are continually shaped and renewed to live lives rooted in love, hope, and faith. 

From the earliest days of Methodism, our faith has been guided by three core commitments:

• Avoid causing harm
• Actively do good
• Stay grounded in spiritual practices like worship, prayer, Scripture, Communion, and service

We don’t walk this journey alone—we grow together through God’s grace and community.

The United Methodist Church is made up of people—local congregations linked together across regions and the world. Clergy and laypeople share leadership, with Christ as the head of the church. Together, we serve, worship, and witness as one body. 

We believe faith is meant to be lived out. United Methodists work for compassion, justice, and mercy by:

• Caring for those who are vulnerable
• Standing for fairness and dignity
• Protecting God’s creation
• Building communities rooted in love and trust

Through local ministries and global efforts like disaster response and humanitarian aid, United Methodists respond to human need with care and urgency. Our giving supports this work, but it is people who bring God’s love to life. 

We welcome people of all backgrounds and life experiences. Following Jesus’ example, we meet people where they are, nurture faith, and encourage spiritual growth.

We don’t claim perfection—but we believe God calls us to keep growing. Through worship, prayer, learning, and service, we seek to be transformed by the Holy Spirit and sent into the world to share God’s love. 

With millions of members across the globe, United Methodists serve in churches, missions, schools, hospitals, and communities—living out faith in action every day.
