A United Creed

We are the people of the United Methodist Church of Ludington.

We believe in the God who created and continues to create.
We want to root ourselves in Jesus.
We rely on the Holy Spirit.
We seek to grow in faithfulness to the Gospel.

We believe our church is part of this community. Ludington has our heart.
We open our doors and ourselves to everyone–
When we say “Come as you are” we mean it.

When we say we are a church we mean:
We celebrate God’s presence,
We want to grow in our love for others,
And we find joy in serving.

We believe everyone has a gift to share and the church is stronger when everyone contributes.

We believe that God’s grace is revealed when we love fully, embrace others, and practice forgiveness.

We believe eternity begins today.
God is with us. We are not alone because we are the Church.
