New Hope United Methodist Church

What We Believe

United Methodists profess the historic Christian faith in God, incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation and ever at work in human history in the Holy Spirit.

We are a community of faith who believe in doing God's work and are dedicated to a life of Christian purpose: a life of participation and personal responsibility; of generosity, sacrifice and self-restraint responding to the call of Jesus Christ.

As members of New Hope United Methodist Church we encourage each other to:

worship regularly;
continue to grow spiritually through Bible Study;
become active in a small group for fellowship with the Body of believers;
serve God;
uphold the church with our gifts as a thankful response for all that God has given to us.

The Apostles' Creed

On a typical Sunday we affirm our faith by reciting the historic and ancient Apostles Creed. The text of it follows:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
     maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
     who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
     born of the virgin Mary,
     suffered under Pontius Pilate,
     was crucified, died, and was buried;
     the third day he rose from the dead;
     he ascended into heaven,
     and sitteth at the right hand of the Father Almighty;
     from thence he shall come again to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
     the holy catholic Church,
     the communion of saints,
     the forgiveness of sins,
     the resurrection of the body,
     and the life everlasting. Amen.
