Frequently asked questions about Edgehill UMC

The short answer is we're a United Methodist Church and you can find what United Methodists believe here.

The longer answer is that our community has always sought to transcend the institutional church, so we don't fit neatly into any box or institution, even the United Methodist one. Our community is made up of saints and sinners, believers and non-believers. Some of us are nones and dones, others are agnostic, still others aren’t really sure what label to apply to themselves, which is fine by us.

We put a much greater emphasis on action over doctrine, so what holds us all together is our commitment to living like Jesus whose mission was to "bring good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed." For us, that means listening to our community, speaking out against injustice, and showing up in the community.

At our core we are committed to standing in solidarity with people on the margins, to putting our faith into action in the world, and to practicing radical inclusion. Everyone has a place at this table.
