Decatur First United Methodist Church

Our Belief Statement

As Christians and United Methodists we believe:

That Jesus is the Son of God, who with God created all things and
is with us as the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, empower and
sustain us;
That the bible is a principal means by which God speaks to us and
is the sufficient rule both of Christian faith and practice;
That we are all sinners, alienated or separated from God and in
need of His grace to restore us;
That we should strive to grow in this grace as our transformation
isn’t yet complete;
That our faith in Jesus should be lived out in the service of love;
That our primary calling is to joyfully lead all people to know the
saving and transforming love of Jesus the Christ.

Because we believe these things, our Mission as a church family is to share the gift of Jesus Christ to move hearts and employ hands for the kingdom of God.
