The Quad

Resources to help you grow spiritually

Join us at the Quad

This is a hub to help you grow in faith.  One hour of church a week is not sufficient in helping you form a strong theology.  This Quad is place to ask questions, get challenged, and think theologically about the complex issues we face in life.  We want to encourage you to not only watch the videos and read through the links provided, but to also engage in discussions with others who are participating. We are called to each develop our faith and grow in that faith.  In addition to the videos that will posted regularly, you can click the links below to explore many of the United Methodist Denomination's core beliefs.

What We Believe

Our Theological Guidelines

(Coming Soon) Using The Bible to Grow Your Faith

Holy Scripture is a guiding tool for developing our faith. But how you read the Bible and how it informs your faith is a complex challenge for anyone seeking spiritual understanding.  Stay tuned for a video series on how to better use the Bible as a tool for developing your theology of God

(Coming Soon) Using Reason to Grow your faith

The modern world has opened up an unbelievable amount of new information about the Universe, our biology and the way God may or may not interact with the world as we see it.  Stay tuned as we seek God through science, reason and rational thought.  Seek ways that God and science do complement each other.  

Getting Started - The Wesleyan Quadrilateral

Whether we realize it or not, we are constantly using tools to interpret the world around us.  The problem is, we often don't hone those tools or even use the right ones to see the world.  Learn what the Wesleyan Quadrilateral is and how these tools can help you grow your faith.  

(Coming Soon) Using Tradition to Grow Your Faith

Religious holidays, worship service liturgies, holy sacraments, prayers, hymns. These are some of the traditions that have been used for centuries to help people find connection to God.  Stay tuned as we explore these traditions and how they give our faith a deeper meaning as we connect them to Christian practices that have been used for ages.  

(Coming Soon) Using Experience to Grow your faith

One of the greatest pieces of evidence to God's existence is the collective experience of human beings throughout recorded human history.  What are your experiences of God and how do those experiences inform our faith?  Stay tuned as we share experiences and how those may or may not point to the God of creation.
