Our Beliefs
 
United Methodists profess the historic Christian faith in God, incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation and ever at work in human history in the Holy Spirit. Living in covenant of grace under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we participate in the first fruits of God’s coming reign and pray in hope for its full realization on earth as in heaven.
 
Our heritage in doctrine and our present theological task focus upon a renewed grasp of the sovereignty of God and of God’s love in Christ amid the continuing crises of human existence.
 
Our forebears in the faith reaffirmed the ancient Christian message as found in the apostolic witness even as they applied it anew in their own circumstances.
 
Their preaching and teaching were grounded in Scripture, informed by Christian tradition, enlivened in experience, and tested by reason.
 
Their labors inspire and inform our attempts to convey the saving gospel to our world with its needs and aspirations.
 
 
 
 
Our History
 
West University United Methodist Church began as an outreach Sunday School class of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in October 1934.  In March of 1936 a charter was signed in the City Council offices and West U. Methodist was born.

The Chapel and first educational building were finished in late 1939 and the Sanctuary was completed in 1952.  The newest building, the Christian Life Center, built in 1995, provides additional classroom space and a gym that hosts numerous community outreach opportunities.

Today, West U. Methodist is a vibrant congregation with a strong focus upon local and global mission projects.  Spiritual growth opportunities and ministries to families, including the West U. Methodist School, are vital programs for church and community members.
