What We Believe

Country Club is part of the United Methodist Church, sharing a common heritage with all Christians. Our overarching belief is that God loves us unconditionally as an act of grace that is neither deserved nor earned. The following statements are meant to help clarify this general belief.

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise.  God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom,  justice, and mercy. God is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

God has been revealed to us through Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for God's glory. Humanity was created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

Choosing not to obey God caused humanity to "fall," introducing separation between God and humanity; a fracture affecting all of creation.

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers the free gift of eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, the Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel, the good news, of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.

Country Club United Methodist Church welcomes and affirms into the full life and ministry of our church people of every race, ethnicity, age, faith history, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, family configuration, physical ability, mental ability, educational status, and economic status. We celebrate the gifts that God sends through the diversity of God’s people and declare ourselves to be a Reconciling Congregation.
