Belmont UMC Mission Statement
Our Mission statement defines who we are as a church- “We are a family of Christ called to be a vital center for community ministry where people of all races can find passion for Christ and compassion for others.”
Grace and Christian Living
John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, and the early Methodists were particularly concerned about inviting people to experience God’s grace and to grow in their knowledge and love of God through disciplined Christian living. They placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis, on what Wesley referred to as “practical divinity”, has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.
Grace is central to our understanding of Christian faith and life. Grace can be defined as the love and mercy given to us by God because God wants us to have it, not because of anything we have done to earn it.
