What do United Methodists believe?

The United Methodist Church shares a great deal with other Christian denominations. We believe God’s grace is open to all, and therefore practice “open Communion”–meaning that anyone may participate in receiving Communion. We believe salvation is an open gift from God, accepted by individuals according to their own free will. The United Methodist denomination is a “big tent” theologically, providing space for theological discourse and, at times, disagreement.

Like many other Christian groups, we affirm the beliefs expressed in the Apostles Creed. These include:

The belief in one God

who is the Creator and sustainer of the universe.

The belief in the Trinity

that there is one God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ

the Son of God, who is fully human and fully divine.

LGBTQ+

Inclusion

We, as the United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon, are here to say we are making spaces safe and affirming for all people to be themselves and that we are specifically in support of the LGBTQ+ community members. We affirm that those in the LGBTQ+ community are persons of sacred worth, full and whole members of the human family, and are beloved by God.

Sunday School is offered for children ages 3- 8th grade. Classes meet from 9:45-10:45 on Sunday mornings and we utilize both the Sanctuary space as well as grade level classrooms. Visitors or new attendees should stop by the registration table located on the 1st floor across from the elevator to check in and receive a registration card. The last Sunday of the month is Family Sunday, and we gather during the Sunday School hour for donuts and activities in the fellowship hall. Students attend these events with their families. All Sunday School teachers and Shepherds are trained and background checked through our Safe Sanctuary program.

The nursery is staffed during both (8:30 AM and 11:00 AM) services.

What should I wear for worship?

Services at Mount Vernon United Methodist are casual. Some prefer to dress up, some dress down, and most of us fall in the middle. Come as you are!

Are there Adult Sunday School classes?

We have several opportunities for you. There are classes throughout the building and if you come on a Sunday morning you can be directed to one.
