United Methodists celebrate both what we hold in common with other parts of the Body of Christ and what is unique to our denomination — our emphasis on grace, our understanding of the sacraments, how we deploy clergy, the ways we are in ministry together. Find resources here to help you understand, teach and practice what it means to be a United Methodist in the 21st century.
