Learn About Methodism
John Wesley, founder of Methodism, taught that who we are to each other is the visible edge of our inner spiritual lives. He said, “There is no holiness but social holiness.”

METHODIST
As Methodists, we believe that the grace-filled, living core of the Christian faith is “revealed in Scripture, illuminated by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and is confirmed by reason,” and that our faith should inspire us to service.
PRACTICING
We encourage members to practice spiritual disciplines such as daily prayer, regular Bible study, healthy living, worship participation, taking part in communion, and work with the poor, sick, outcast, imprisoned, and underserved.
UNITED METHODIST
As part of the larger United Methodist Church (UMC), we are Protestants, under the authority of a Bishop, have certain standing committees, use common hymnals, open the communion table to all, and work collectively on many relief projects worldwide.
THEOLOGICALLY DIVERSE
Each UMC congregation has its own personality and theological flavor. If you have met one Methodist, you have met one Methodist. Despite our differences, we all share a commitment to be students of Jesus, a common history, and a tendency to show up with food.
INCLUSIVE
We believe all persons are beloved children of God. United Methodists affirm the full humanity and value of all persons, regardless of race, gender, immigration status, relationship status, socio-economic status, or sexual orientation.
That affirmation extends to inclusion in the full life and leadership of the church.
JOYFULLY INVITING ALL TO AN ENRICHING LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST
God’s grace always reaches out to us in love. At Trinity, all are welcome to join us in worship as equals.
Yes, even those people.
Yes, even you.
