Meet Our Pastor

Our Values & Beliefs:
We are a theologically conservative, Bible-centered body of believers within the larger United Methodist Church.
Horatio Methodist Church exists...
- to "Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness" (Psalm 96:9)
- to win the lost to Jesus Christ
- to disciple every believer and to equip and empower every member for ministry
- to spread God’s kingdom through charitable, righteous works
Horatio Methodist Church believes...
- In one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
- In one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made.
- For us and for our salvation, Jesus Christ came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his Kingdom will have no end.
- In the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in the one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
- That the Bible is the true and infallible word of God and has supreme authority over the life of the believer and the life of the church.
