Who We Are

At Christ United Methodist Church, we follow Jesus for the transformation of the world. We connect with God and one another, grow in our faith, and serve our neighbors.

We are committed to demonstrating compassionate love, active invitation, nourishing community, and abundant generosity both in our church and in our broader community.

What We Believe

We believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

We believe 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, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the unity of the Church Universal.

We believe in the communion of saints.

We believe in the forgiveness of sins.

We believe in the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Our congregation has decided to become a Lighthouse Congregation of The North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church in partnership with The United Methodist Collective and the Office of New Faith Communities. In doing so, not only do we commit to remaining a part of the United Methodist Church, but we also commit to serving those who have lost their church homes through disaffiliation or closure. We will partner in this work in the following ways: 

Worship: Providing worship opportunities whether online or in person. These services should be intentional about engaging and welcoming new people into the fold. 
Discipleship: Creating space to learn and grow, through small group gatherings, Bible studies and prayer opportunities.  
Mission: Inviting fellow United Methodists into opportunities to serve through hands on ministries. This can include things like backpack ministries, community gardens, literacy and C4C programs, or anything that involves making a difference and sharing the love of God with others.
Sacrament: Communion will be offered at least one Sunday a month, but also may include invitations to communion outside of traditional worship such as mid-week gatherings and in small groups.
Pastoral Care: Offering care such as hospital visits, gatherings at coffee shops, and finding ways to be available to those who are in need of pastoral care.  This is not just the responsibility of the pastor, but includes ways in which the congregation may engage in visitation ministries, meal trains, and communications ministries.
