What We Believe
Commit…Connect…Engage
First Methodist Church of Tallassee is committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ, by connecting people to the Word of God and engaging them in ministry here and throughout the world.
We believe that the one God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – has created all things; that Jesus Christ, through the power of his cross and Resurrection, is the Lord and Savior of all the world; and that the Holy Spirit empowers the people of his church to worship and praise God and to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world in word and deed.
Our profession of faith is The Apostle’s Creed:
We believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth
and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead and buried.
The third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
