Notes
 
The mission of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
- from The Ministry of All Christians,
The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church,¶120
 
The church is a community of all true believers under the Lordship of Christ.  It is the redeemed and redeeming fellowship in which the Word of God is preached by persons divinely called, and the sacraments are duly administered according to Christ's own appointment.  Under the discipline of the Holy Spirit the church seeks to provide for the maintenance of worship, the edification of believers, and the redemption of the world.
- from The Constitution of the United Methodist Church, 
The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church,
 
The heart of Christian ministry is Christ's ministry of outreaching love.  Christian ministry is the expression of the mind and mission of Christ by a community of Christians that demonstrates a common life of gratitude and devotion, witness and service, celebration and discipleship.  All Christians are called through their baptism to this ministry of servanthood in the world to the glory of God and for human fulfillment.
- The Heart of Christian Ministry, 
The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church,¶125
 
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
- from 1 John 4:7-8
 
Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thine? I ask no farther question. If it be, give me thy hand. For opinions, or terms, let us not destroy the work of God. Dost thou love and serve God? It is enough. I give thee the right hand of fellowship. 
- John Wesley, Founder of Methodism, in his sermon "The Character of a Methodist"
