Who We Are and What We Believe

Who We Are

The United Methodist Church of Ludington is a warm, friendly community of believers, committed to the worship of God, the study of God's Word, service to others, and mission at home and abroad.

What We Believe

United Methodist preaching and teaching is grounded in Scripture, informed by Christian tradition, enlivened in personal experience, and tested by reason. With Christians of other communions, we believe in a triune God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God summons us to repentance, pardons us, receives us by grace, given in Jesus Christ and gives us hope of eternal life. Faith is the only response essential for salavation.  However, salvation evidences itself in good works. We believe there are two sacraments, Baptism and Communion, ordained by Christ as symbols and pledges of God's love for us. With other Christians, we declare the essential oneness of the church in Christ Jesus. The heart of Christian ministry is Christ's ministry of outreaching love.  The United Methodist Church reaches out to establish peace and justice in the world.  The mission of the United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
