ABOUT US
| OUR CHURCH MISSION |
| The Angono United Methodist Church's primary mission is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through practical outreach to homes. We have firm beliefs about both the Christian faith and the importance of the family. |
| OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES |
|
Our ministry is based upon three guiding principles that are apparent at every level throughout the organization: We believe that the ultimate purpose in living is to know and glorify God and to attain eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, beginning within our own families and then reaching out to a suffering humanity that does not know of His love and sacrifice. We believe that children are a heritage from God. We are therefore accountable to Him for raising, shaping and preparing them for a life of service to His Kingdom and to humanity. We believe that God has ordained three basic institutions — the church, the family and the government — for the benefit of all humankind. The family exists to propagate the human race and to provide a safe haven in which to nurture, teach and love the younger generation. The church exists to minister to individuals and families by sharing the love of God and the message of repentance and salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ. The government exists to maintain cultural equilibrium and to provide a framework for social order. |
| WHAT WE BELIEVE AS UNITED METHODIST |
|
As United Methodists, we have
an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus
Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life
and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically
on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express
faithfully the witness we make in our own time.
Two considerations are central to this endeavor: the sources from which we derive our theological affirmations and the criteria by which we assess the adequacy of our understanding and witness. Wesley believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason. |
| Our Doctrinal Standard and Theological Task |
| United Methodists profess the historic Christian faith in God, incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation and ever at work in human history in the Holy Spirit. Living in a covenant of grace under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we participate in the first fruits of God's coming reign and pray in hope for its full realization on earth as in heaven. |
| The Ministry of All Christians |
|
The mission of the
Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Local churches
provide the most significant arena through which disciple-making
occurs.
|
| Social Principles |
| The United Methodist Church has a long history of concern for social justice. Its members have often taken forthright positions on controversial issues involving Christian principles. Early Methodists expressed their opposition to the slave trade, to smuggling, and to the cruel treatment of prisoners. |
