About our Church and beliefs |
|
The Methodist Church was founded by John and Charles Wesley. It is a Protestant Church which seeks to combine personal relationships to God and social witness. |
|
| We accept the Scriptures
as the basic Christian authority for belief and practice. |
|
| We accept the historic
creeds as summary statements of Christian belief. |
|
| We accept two sacraments - Holy Baptism and Holy Communion. |
|
| We have ordained
presbyters and deacons. We also have many forms of lay
ministries, such as local preachers, who as a group conduct
more Sunday Services than the ordained clergy. |
|
| Our congregations are grouped into Circuits who are supervised by a
Superintendent assisted by other clergy. |
|
| Our services have
little ritual, include a lot of singing of hymns - old and new. We
involve members of the congregation in
leadership. |
|
| We seek to give a Christian witness concerning developments in our society and world. | |
