The basic beliefs of The United Methodist Church include:
Holy Baptism - the church believes that through Baptism God initiates a covenant with individuals. It is regarded not only as a profession of faith but a means by which Christians are distinguished from others. The United Methodist Church generally practices Baptism by sprinkling, pouring, or immersion and recognizes baptisms from other Christian denominations.
Holy Communion - the UMC affirms the real presence of Christ in Holy Communion (the bread representing His body crucified on the cross, and the cup as a sign of His blood, shed for humanity), and practices open communion. All are invited and encouraged to participate in our celebration of the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each month.
