Our Christian Beliefs  

Ko ‘emau Tui Faka-Kalisitiane

     We believe that the church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ's life and ministry in the world today.

     We believe that the mission of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

     We believe that the church is "the communion of saints," 

a community made up of all past, present, and future disciples of Christ.

     We believe that the church is called to worship God and to support those who participate in its life as they grow in faith.

Excerpt from What Every Teacher Needs to Know About Theology (Discipleship Resources, 2002), p. 14.


‘Oku mau tui ki he ‘Otua Mafimafi ko e Tupu’anga ‘o Hevani mo Mamani. Pea mo Sisu Kalaisi, ko hono ‘Alo pe taha ne fakatupu, ko hotau ‘Eiki. ‘A ia na’e tu’itu’ia ‘i he Laumalie Ma’oni’oni, pea ‘alo’i ‘e he taupo’ou ko Mele. Na’e feia ia ‘e Ponitusi Pailato, pea kalusefai ia pea pekia, pea telio: Na’a ne ha’ele hifo ki Hetesi. Na’a ne toetu’u mei he pekia ‘i hono ‘aho tolu. ‘O ne ha’ele hake ki Hevani; ‘o ne ‘afio mei he nima to’omata’u ‘o e ‘Otua ko e Tamai Mafimafi. Pea te ne ha’ele mei ai ke fakamaau ‘a e mo’ui mo e mate. ‘Oku mau tui ki he Laumalie Ma’oni’oni, mo e Siasi Tapu mo Taha pe; mo e feohi ‘a e kakai ma’oni’oni, mo e fakamolemole ‘o e Angahala, mo e toetu’u ‘o e sino, mo e mo’ui ta’engata. 

What We Believe

Ko ‘emau Tui

     The United Methodist Church is a global denomination that opens hearts, opens minds and opens doors through active engagement with our world. The mission of The United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

     John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as "practical divinity" has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.
