Our Beliefs

Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church UMC’s ministry…to both our congregation and the community…is accomplished through (1) our mission to reach out to people and welcome them into the church, (2) our effort to relate people to God and help them deepen their relationship with God, (3) our intent to nurture people in Christian living, and (4) our effort to support people in their ministry.

Our beliefs at Mount Pleasant UMC reflect the theology of the United Methodist Church, which is a mainline protestant denomination, distinctly Wesleyan in nature, tracing its roots back to John Wesley and the Methodist Movement of the 1700s. The root word, “method,” in “Methodist” is reflective of the emphasis the United Methodist Church places on disciplined Christian living. According to the United Methodist Church, United Methodists place significant emphasis on “putting faith and love into action.”
