Hi,
I'm a moderate to liberal Christian looking for a church. Our local UMC is big, has a lot of people, and is near the bus station (the latter being a critical issues. ) But I know nothing about the UMC. My experience is largely either Salvation Army, traditional Catholic, or Pentecostal. I have some questions I was hoping people could answer.
*What is the service like? Is it liturgical, or is it more "evangelical", for lack of better terminology? The church here lists one traditional service and one contemporary service and I'm wondering what that might exactly mean.
*What are their beliefs on the Sacraments? Do they do weekly Communion, biweekly, or quarterly, or is it up to each individual church? Do they perform infant baptism?
*If you had to say two or three important things about UMC's beliefs, what would they be?
TIA~!
