I am new to TUMC

Our Vision

We are a community of faith with Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors as we make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of ourselves and the world. We strive to have no limitations, no boundaries, and no walls. We are where love pours in and love flows out.

We Believe That...

"The living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified by personal experience, and confirmed by reason." - BOD 2016, p 82 s. 4

Scripture

the Bible expresses the fundamental unity of God's revelation as received and experienced by people in the diversity of their own lives.

Tradition

The history of that continuing environment of grace in and by which all christian live, God's self-giving love in Jesus Christ.

Experience

Personal Experience is the personal appropriation of god's forgiving and empowering grace. Experience authenticates in our own lives the truths revealed in Scripture and illumined by tradition, enabling us to claim the Christian witness as our own.

Reason

Although we recognize that God's revelation and our experiences of God's grace continually surpass the scope of human language and reason, we also believe that any disciplined theological work calls for the careful use of reason.
