According to the church, the best way to influence the world is by making disciples of Jesus Christ.

According to the church, the United Methodist Church declares that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the Lord of all.

In teaching its followers, it declared that it respected individuals of all religions and supported each person's right to practice their religion in accordance with their own convictions.

The church reaffirmed its belief that, like Jesus, every human being is fundamentally valuable and worthy of respect.

Church’s Roots

The Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church asserted that John Wesley, an Anglican minister working for the Church of England in the 1700s, can be linked to its origins as a United Methodist congregation.

According to the church, "Methodist" groups grew as a result of their members following a daily schedule of religious observance and altruistic activity.

The societies later relocated to Ireland and finally America, where, in accordance with the church, they were fully acknowledged as a distinct denomination in 1784.

The church said there are about 11 million United Methodists worldwide.

According to the church, social duty and faith have long been entwined for United Methodists.

Additionally, it gave instances of how it upholds an ecumenical tradition and collaborates with different Christian faiths and religions, such as its collaborations with the Office of Spirituality & Religious Life at Emory University, the church said.
