Sparta United Methodist Church is a part of a worldwide church whose mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.  

We are a body of believers that profess faith in the Triune God - Creator, Savior and Sustainer.  

We believe that our faith is best lived out in the world in community with God and with our neighbors.  

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World and, through his life, death and resurrection, Jesus embodied for the world God’s great love and care for all.  

We believe God loves all people and we share in expressing that love with all.

Our tradition places special emphasis on God’s grace, the unconditional and unearned love of God as a means of experiencing God’s love all throughout our lives.  

We hold the Holy Bible to be God’s Word given to God’s people.  As we read and study scripture, we understand our reason, experience and tradition can aid us in our interpretations of God’s Word.  

We believe in the Holy Spirit as God’s Spirit that continues to move in, through and among us, reminding us of Jesus’ ministry and teachings, inspiring us to new ways of living, and sustaining us as we seek to faithfully live and serve in the way of Jesus.  

We believe God calls all types of people to serve in ministry in the church, in the community and in the world.  In The United Methodist Church we believe both laity and clergy are called to work together to lead God’s people in working for God’s kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.
