THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST
Christ died for the sins of the whole world, he was crucified dead and buried,
God did truly raise Christ from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and we are
to remain faithful until he returns to judge all men in the last days. (Romans
10:9-10
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one Substance,
majesty, and glory, with the Father and the Son, eternal God.
The Holy Spirit is that inner strength God gives for help and comfort to do His
will. (John 15:26)

THE CHURCH
We believe the church is essential to all walks of life. It is essential to
family, community, government and our spiritual health. We are strong believers in (Matt16:18) “The
gates of hell will not prevail against the church”
THE SACRAMENTS
here are two sacraments ordained of
Christ our Lord in the Gospel; Baptism and the Supper of The Lord..
BAPTISM
Baptism is not only a sign of profession and mark of difference, whereby
Christians are distinguished from others that are not baptized; but is also a signed of regeneration, or the new birth, in Christ.
THE LORD’S SUPPER
The Supper of The Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to
have among themselves one to another, but also is a sacrament of our redemption
by Christ’s death.
MINISTERIAL LEADERSHIP
Christian, in our beliefs… Methodist, in our approach… Episcopal, in our organization (Bishops assign pastors)

Our Heritage … and Future Vision
The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in 1870 by 41 persons who had been born into slavery. From that group of 41 persons has grown a denomination of approximately 1 million persons in the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa. The church is Methodist in doctrine and structure, and grew out of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It is one of more than 300 bodies in the world that consider John Wesley and the Wesleyan Movement in Great Britain as their spiritual origins. The church’s polity includes supervision by bishops, participation by laity and clergy in conferences that legislate and evaluate the church’s programs on all levels, and a system of judicial appeals for ensuring integrity of doctrine and leadership. The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church is intent on being a prophetic voice for the 21st Century.
