Our Beliefs
God
God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons: Father, Son Jesus Christ & Holy Spirit.
Human Beings
Genesis 1:27 asserts that we've been made in the image of the Creator. Like God we have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create.
Grace
The Bible teaches us that everything we have from God is given because of God's great love for us. "You are saved by God's grace because of your faith," Ephesians 2 reads. "This salvation is God's gift. It's not something you possessed. It's not something you did that you can be proud of" (Ephesians 2:8-9 CEB). United Methodists recognize God's grace at work throughout our spiritual journeys.
LGBTQ Identity & Faith
Suamico Church welcomes and affirms all people, including those who identify as LGBTQ+. You can get married here, you can serve as a pastor, you can be you.
To honor our diversity in gender experience, we provide an All Genders restroom in our classroom hallway.
Jesus
We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus whose life, death and resurrection demonstrate God's redeeming love.
The Church
The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ's life and ministry in the world today.
Methodists
The United Methodist Church connects more than 12 million members on four continents, and engages in ministry all around the world. We speak many languages, come from various cultures, and span generations. Yet, we are united in our faith in Jesus Christ.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God's present activity in our midst. When we sense God's leading, God's challenge, or God's support or comfort, it's the Holy Spirit at work.
