What We Believe

The United Methodist Church affirms that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the Lord of all. We respect persons of all religious faiths and we defend religious freedom for all persons.  We embrace Jesus' mandate to love God and love our neighbor and to make disciples of all peoples. 

United Methodists throughout the world are bound together in a connectional covenant in which we support each other through a vital web of interactive relationships.  By committing ourselves to interdependent partnerships in prayer, mission, and worship, we fully embody the Wesleyan ecclesial vision.     

Ocean Springs United Methodist Church exists to be the hands and feet of Christ Jesus, allowing the grace and mercy of our Lord to flow upon all His children.

 "Thou art mine, and I am thine.  So be it.  And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.  Amen." - John Wesley | Covenant Prayer
