What We Believe

Wilmore FMC’s Ecclesiastical and Theological Roots / What We Believe

Wilmore Free Methodist Church is part of the Free Methodist family of churches.  Our roots run deep, through the Methodist movement to the Anglican church – the church of England.
We are Wesleyan in our theological approach and believe God calls all to Himself in the beauty of holiness.  You can find our theological beliefs here, and also our understanding of who we are and the task God has given us here, but very simply put: 
  • We believe in one living God in three persons, the Father, Jesus the Son and Holy Spirit;
  • We believe in the authority of God’s word over our lives;
  • We believe humans are created in the image of God as free moral persons;
  • We believe that new life in Jesus, free from the guilt and penalty of sin, is given to all who believe in Him;
  • We believe the Church is the body of Christ – the people of God who exist to fulfill God’s purposes.
  • We believe in the Kingdom of God, established now in the hearts of believers, the return of Jesus at the time of the Father’s choosing, and our hope in the resurrection and eternal glory.
How is the Free Methodist Church different from, say, United Methodists?  We get that question a lot.  Check out the quick explanation, or a more thorough explanation in our doctrinal statements.
