our mission
Share Your Story is an online ministry of the NWTX Conference of the United Methodist Church. We exist to connect people online and in person to hear your story. Listen to their needs, hurts, dreams, and questions, and connect them with a local United Methodist Church in their area.
We believe that all are welcome and created uniquely by God. No matter where your story has led you so far, grace and mercy are waiting for you. We are here to listen and help connect you to a community that will help you grow in your faith and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Below is more on what we believe as United Methodists.
-
God the Father
God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons.
-
Jesus Christ the Son
We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus, whose life, death, and resurrection demonstrate God’s redeeming love.
-
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God’s present activity in our midst. When we sense God’s leading, God’s challenge, or God’s support or comfort, it is the Holy Spirit at work.
-
Human Beings
Genesis 1:27 asserts that we’ve been made in the image of the Creator. Like God we have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create.
-
The Church
The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today.
-
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice.
-
God's Reign
The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.

What is Wesleyan Grace?
United Methodists recognize God's grace at work throughout our spiritual journeys. John Wesley wrote and preached about the role of God's grace to prepare us, redeem us, and continually shape us into the people we were created to be.
