We're on a mission to bring faith and life together through Jesus Christ, growing followers to connect with the community and the world. About Littleton United Methodist Church VISION To be a Christian extended family on a mission that embodies the grace, peace, and hospitality of Jesus for all people. MISSION Growing committed followers of Jesus Christ as we do faith and life together for love of Littleton and the world. BELIEFS & VALUES As United Methodists, we believe in a triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who has mercy and love for all people. We use four guides to understand and explain our faith: SCRIPTURE TRADITION REASON EXPERIENCE We believe we are part of the church universal and that we, along with other Christian denominations, are authentic witnesses of God through Jesus Christ. We live this out in Baptism as we accept the validity of Baptism of other Christian denominations. We also live this out in our practice of the Open Table at Holy Communion where all persons are welcome as they seek to follow Christ and live in peace with their neighbor. Faith is necessary for the Christian Life and is received through God’s grace and is seen and experienced through acts of piety and mercy. Faith without works does not exist. We welcome you wherever you are on your faith journey, and we invite you to grow spiritually toward full humanity through the life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We encourage you to become an active part of our faith community through your prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. Sunday Worship Our Ministries F.A.Q. THE UNITED METHODIST TRADITION The United Methodist Church is descended from the band of believers who followed the lead of John and Charles Wesley in their early ministry, and has evolved to became one of the largest Protestant churches in the world with 12.4 million global members today. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE UMC SALVATION Second Corinthians 5:17 provides a beautiful reminder of God’s saving action through Christ. In faith we are made new. The old has gone. The new has come. The following verses teach that in faith we become Christ’s ambassadors, offering others the ministry of reconciliation. Wesley carried this idea forward, noting that we are not just saved from our sins, but that we are saved for the holy work of offering God’s grace to others. Our salvation is not solely about a future condition, but is also about current reality. We are saved for the purpose of revealing God’s grace. The Bible teaches us that everything we have from God is given because of God’s great love for us. “You are saved by God’s grace because of your faith,” Ephesians 2 reads. “This salvation is God’s gift. It’s not something you possessed. It’s not something you did that you can be proud of” (Ephesians 2:8-9 CEB). United Methodists recognize God’s grace at work throughout our spiritual journeys. John Wesley, the historic founder of the Methodist movement, wrote and preached about the role of God’s grace to prepare us, redeem us, and continually shape us into the people we were created to be.
