Welcome to this body of believers and to the Beulah United Methodist Church. We have a rich history of faith, based on a belief that all people are welcome in this building that God has built through our labors. We believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and it is only through His earthly walk, crucifixion, and resurrection that provision for eternal life is possible. Seeking and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit allows us to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ and with each other. God's prevenient grace calls us to accept Jesus Christ into our lives. God's justifying grace saves us from both our original sin and subsequent sins we have committed. God's sanctifying grace helps us to press on toward the mark of becoming transformed through a renewing of our minds, eventually achieving a heavenly dwelling place. Yes, this Christian walk is both a destination and a journey. We are encouraged by the fact that you have chosen to spend time walking along God's chosen path for the people of this church. United Methodists have faith that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. -- 2 Tim. 3:16. The Bible is the authority that is preached in our sanctury and taught in our classes. Beulah UMC believes that the world is our neighbor and we are given the commission to reach out to this world with the love and compassion of Christ. Our goals are to continue to grow spiritually and then reach out to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Passion for Christ infuses us with energy that allows us to actively participate in the many programs of our church. We love Christ and care deeply for the needs of our community.
