This we believe
- We believe in God's grace, Grace, the beautiful free gift of God's love for every person. It is a love you cannot work to gain but only accept and share.
- We believe in the dignity and responsibility of all persons. We are all equal. Every person is a special child of God. We are all brothers and sisters. All means all.
- We believe in conversion and new birth. Jesus is our Lord and Savior.
- We believe faith and good works belong together.
- We believe in a connectional and ecumenical church. We desire not only to connect church to church within the United Methodist denomination but to churches of other denominations. Our prayer is that all Christians throughout the world will work together for our one Lord, Jesus the Christ.
The Sewickley United Methodist Church is a faith community that meets in the building with the clock tower that stands at the entrance of the village. It is the church with time for you.
- In a world that knows hostility, we give time for hospitality, community and fellowship.
- In a world that knows aimless searching, we give time for spiritual development.
- In a world that knows idols, we give time to creatively worship the God of love.
- In a world that knows ignorance, we give time to hear and learn the biblical story.
- In this world God loves, we seek to be followers of Jesus, the one who gave his life to demonstrate trust, hope and love.
- As we use the gift of time to meet on Sundays for education and worship, we invite you to meet with a community that gathers under the clock to pay attention to the One whose love is ever timeless.
