Akron Free Methodist Church

Our Beliefs and Core Values

We believe that:

-there is one God - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-the Bible contains all the truth that we need to succeed at work, in our families, in our relationships, and in anything else we encounter in life.
-everyone is born with a natural inclination to sin.
-whoever believes in Jesus Christ and seeks forgiveness of sin will have eternal life.
-effective life change begins when we follow Jesus Christ.
-God gives every person gifts, abilities, and experiences that can be used to help others.
-God empowers us to live a life that is becoming increasingly more like Jesus Christ.

We Value:

Worship. Worship is a lifestyle...not just a church service!
Jesus. Jesus matters to our daily lives.
The application of Scripture. Teaching is for life change.
Growth. Real followers of Jesus grow.
Small Groups. We need to grow larger and smaller at the same time.
Service. Every member is a minister.
Relevance. We change methods, but never the message.
Unity and Diversity. Focus on the things that unite us, not the things that divide us.
People. Every person matters to God.
