Global Methodist

Silver Creek Methodist is a member of the Mid-Texas conference of the Global Methodist Church.

Silver Creek Methodists are like-minded, Bible-believing, Christ-centered, Spirit-led, sin-saved Christians on our walk of discipleship together.

Our Core Beliefs

There is one and only one living and true God, who exists in three persons — Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit — but without division of nature, essence, or being. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe.

Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1:1; John 1:14

The Bible is our source for divine truth, as illumined by the Holy Spirit.

2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105

People are made in the image of God. Each human is worthy of respect and love. At the same time every human is born with a nature to sin and be in rebellion against our Creator thus, we are under just condemnation, without defense or excuse. All humans have fallen short of the glory of God, except for our Lord Jesus.

Gen. 1:27-28; Romans 1: 18-20; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1-3

Christ is the answer to our sin nature! God set his heart on sinners from before time and ordained his people for salvation through his great mercy and love. Jesus loves his Church! God, the Father, sent and gave his Son, Jesus, so that whosoever believes in him shall be saved from just condemnation and have eternal life. Salvation is by the grace of God, the atoning power of the Jesus’ death on the cross and the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 3:16-18; Ephesians 1:3-14; Romans 5:7-9

The Church universal (past, present and future) is the total of believers in Jesus Christ, sinners saved by God’s grace in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. We are the body of Christ, called to share the Good News of salvation with others.

We will seek to praise and worship our Savior passionately—as individuals, as families, and as a local church.

John 4:23-24; Psalm 29:1-2; Romans 12: 1-2

We care for our fellow members by intentionally discipling each other in the spirit of the early Methodist movement. We care about those who don’t have a relationship with Christ, so we share Christ with them boldly and with love. We care for those in need.

Ephesians 4:11-12; Acts 20:28; John 13:35; Romans 12: 3-13;Hebrews 10:24-25

Those who desire to join Silver Creek Methodist Church join like-minded, Bible-believing, Christ-centered, Spirit-led, sin-saved Christians on our walk of discipleship together. We take vows to encourage one another in Christian love and lovingly hold each other to our common beliefs in Christ. We are not perfect (we are all sinners saved by God’s grace in Christ) …but we take our vows seriously and graciously as we live holy lives together in Christ.

Acts 20:28; Hebrews 10:24-25; Romans 12:5

We encourage every member to adopt a lifestyle of stewardship that recognizes God’s ownership of everything and to practice the biblical principle of tithing (giving at least one-tenth of one’s income) to support the work of the church.

1 Corinthians 4:2; 1 Peter 4:10

We encourage lifelong commitments to marriage between one man and one woman; we support the ongoing spiritual nurture of the family;

Matthew 19:5-6; Ephesians 5:22-6:4
