What We Believe: The Heart of the United Methodist Church

At Fall City United Methodist Church, faith isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about growing in love. We believe that God’s grace is bigger than any box we could ever build and that following Jesus means learning to love God, love our neighbors, and love ourselves more deeply each day.

Our roots are in the United Methodist tradition, which combines a thoughtful faith, a compassionate heart, and a commitment to putting love into action. Here’s what that means in everyday life:

Grace for Everyone

We believe that God’s grace is for everyone, no exceptions. It’s the unearned, unending love of God that goes before us, surrounds us, and transforms us. Whether you’ve been walking with God for a lifetime or are just starting to ask questions, you are already held in that grace.

Faith That Grows and Thinks

We value both the heart and the mind in our spiritual journey. United Methodists love asking questions, exploring Scripture, engaging reason, learning from tradition, and listening to personal experience. Faith isn’t static, it’s alive, thoughtful, and always growing.

Community That Cares

We believe the church is a family where everyone belongs. We’re called to be a community of love and support, where we celebrate one another’s joys and carry one another’s burdens. When one person hurts, we all reach out. When one person rejoices, we all give thanks.

Service That Changes the World

Faith isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we live out. We believe in putting our love into action through acts of compassion, justice, and mercy. From feeding our neighbors to caring for creation to standing up for those who are marginalized, we take seriously Jesus’ call to serve.

Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors

This isn’t just a slogan, it’s our way of life. We welcome people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, identities, backgrounds, and experiences. You are not only welcome here, you are needed here, because the fullness of God’s image is seen most clearly when all are included.

Centered on Jesus

Everything we do flows from the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He shows us what love looks like in action, healing the hurting, feeding the hungry, forgiving freely, and welcoming the outcast. We believe his Spirit is alive in us, empowering us to do the same in our time and place.

You Belong Here

At the end of the day, our faith is about connection, connecting with God, with one another, and with the world around us. Whether you’re a lifelong Methodist or just exploring what faith might look like for you, we would love to journey with you.

Come as you are. Bring your doubts, your hopes, your laughter, and your questions. There’s a place for you at Fall City United Methodist Church, a place where grace is real, love is wide, and faith is alive.
