Methodist Church
Mission Statement
Canby United Methodist Church is a diverse group of
believers...Praying for God's will; listening for the Holy Spirit;
and seeking to follow the way of Christ.
We are called to glorify God; to use our talents to serve others in
family, church, community and world; to be a supportive fellowship
seeking to grow spiritually and to share the teachings of Jesus
Christ through our thoughts, words and actions.
The basic beliefs of The United Methodist Church include:
-
Triune God. God is one God in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost).
-
Scripture. The writings in the Old Testament and New Testament are the inspired word of God.
-
Sin. While human beings were intended to
bear the image of God, all humans are sinners for
whom that image is distorted. Sin estranges us from
God and corrupts human nature such that we cannot
heal or save ourselves.
-
Salvation. Through Jesus Christ. God's
redeeming love is active to save sinners through
Jesus' incarnate life and teachings, through his atoning death, his resurrection,
his sovereign presence through history, and his
promised return.
-
Sacraments.
The UMC recognizes only two sacraments: Holy Baptism and Holy Communion.
Other rites such as confirmation, Ordination,
Holy Matrimony, Funerals, and Anointing
of the Sick are
performed but are not considered sacraments. In Holy
Baptism, the Church believes that "Baptism is not
only a sign of profession and mark of difference
whereby Christians are distinguished from others
that are not baptized; but it is also a sign of regeneration or the new
birth. It believes that Baptism is a sacrament in
which God initiates a covenant with individuals,
people become a part of the Church, is not to be
repeated, and is a means of grace.
The United Methodist Church generally
practices Baptism by sprinkling, pouring, or
immersion and recognizes Trinitarian
formula baptisms from other Christian
denominations in
good standing. The United Methodist Church affirms the real presence of Christ in Holy Communion, (the bread is an effectual sign of His body crucified on
the cross and the cup is an effectual sign of His blood shed for
humanity), believes that the celebration is an anamnesis
of Jesus’ death, believes the sacrament to be a means of grace, and practices open communion.
-
Free will.
The UMC believes that people, while corrupted by sin, are free to make their own choices because
of God's divine grace.
-
Grace.
The UMC believes that God gives unmerited favor
freely to all people, though it may be resisted.
