Traditionally, the United Methodist church has emphasized the following:

  • The availability of God's grace for all
  • The essential unity of faith and works
  • Salvation is both personal and social
  • The church as a community of Christ’s disciples who seek to share in God's mission
  • The inseparability of knowledge (intellect) and vital piety (devotion to religious duties and practices) as components of faith
  • Seeking holiness of heart and life both as individuals and in our society
  • A cooperative ministry and mission in the world often referred to as connectionalism
  • A link between Christian doctrine and Christian living
