Sermon Series: Believe

Why does it matter that we are Methodists? Whether we’re new to this faith or we’ve been here for years, the foundational beliefs of our church help shape our relationship with God and our relationships with family, friends, neighbors, and the world. Join us in this series as we remember what we believe and why it matters.
