ABOUT US

Anchor 1

We believe that Jesus Christ came to reveal the fullness of God's love for us, and we continue to celebrate that love through
praise, sacraments, service, and community.

Bible
We believe in One Triune God.
We recognize that grace is a gift from God in which all three Persons of the Trinity participate.
​
“There are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.”  
                             (1 John 5:7, NRSV)
​

What We Believe

The mission of ASUMC is to be a loving, inclusive community dedicated to actively worshiping God and raising Christian souls by:
​
  • Creating fellowship experiences within the church.
  • Strengthening families.
  • Deepening spiritual growth within ASUMC and in our surrounding community.
  • Developing alternative worship opportunities.
Our teachings and preaching embrace the traditions of Wesleyan Theology. We seek to find balance between faith and good works. And we strive to live life in holy love seeking Christian Perfection.
​
“By perfection I mean the humble, gentle, patient love of God and our neighbor, ruling our tempers, words, and actions.” John Wesley,
