Our Faith
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the creator and sustainer of all things, infinitely loving, just, and present with us.
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments reveal the Word of God and are sufficient for faith and practice. Scripture is read through the lens of tradition, reason, and experience—the Wesleyan way of understanding God's truth.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully human and fully divine, who lived, was crucified, died, and rose again for the salvation of the world. Through Him we are reconciled to God and called into new life.
We believe in God's grace freely offered to all people—grace that goes before us, justifies us through faith, and makes us holy. Salvation is a gift received by faith, not earned, and it transforms how we live.
We celebrate two sacraments: Baptism, the sign of new birth and welcome into Christ's family, and Holy Communion, an open table where all are invited to receive the grace of God in the bread and cup.
We believe the church is called to welcome all people, grow in faith together, and serve our neighbors. Following Christ's example, we pursue mission, outreach, and works of compassion and justice in our community and world.
Your First Visit
Free parking is available on-site and along nearby streets. Arrive a few minutes early and a greeter can help you find your way in.
Children are warmly welcomed in worship, and Sunday school or children's programming is offered to help kids grow in faith. Families with little ones are always glad to be here.
We'd love to be the first to welcome you to Polson United Methodist Church. For over 100 years we've served northwest Montana through mission, ministry, and spiritual formation. Join us for Sunday morning worship, and feel free to reach out ahead of time — a greeter will help you feel at home, and there's no pressure to participate beyond what's comfortable for you.
The sanctuary and fellowship areas are accessible to all. If you have specific accessibility needs, contact the church ahead of your visit and the team will be glad to help.
Stick around after worship for coffee and fellowship — it's a relaxed chance to meet the congregation and ask any questions you have.
