We believe in, “making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” What is a disciple? A disciple is a follower of Jesus, someone who is learning to trust God. How do persons become followers of Jesus Christ? We believe there are four practices that individuals participate in to grow in their trust of God. The Methodist tradition calls these practices “spiritual disciplines” or “means of grace.”
They are: engaging in worship, living in the community, owning the faith and utilizing our influence."
