Our United Methodist Vows

How can we go beyond the words we profess to fully living through our United Methodist vows? Explore your vows with this five-part series.

When we become professing members of a United Methodist congregation, we profess our faith in God, our desire to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, and our commitment to join with our church community to keep the vows of our Baptismal Covenant.

In this special five-part series, we'll look at each aspect of this membership vow and how United Methodists can answer the call to serve Christ through the local church.
