About Our Church
WHO WE ARE
The members and friends of Rupert United Methodist Church welcome all persons, regardless of ethnic heritage, religious backgrounds, etc. We have inherited our central beliefs from Christians who have gone before us, but as United Methodist we also contribute our own emphases to Christian theology.
We respect diversity in theology. As long as our differences in belief are rooted in the esentials of the Christian faith, then these differences will enhance our understanding of God and challenge us to grow in faith.
We rely on God's grace for our salvation; grace that brings us to faith, grace that forgives us our sin and renews us and draws us on toward perfect love. We know that conversion and a new birth in Christ, whether sudden or gradual, occurs under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
VISION
Living and Sharing the Transforming Love of Jesus Christ.
MISSION
We are an empowered, diverse church family offering opportunities to everyone for growth in their spiritual journey and for living and sharing our faith within the community.
