As United Methodists Organized for Renewal and Evangelism, we share the following vision, the realization of which represents our purpose.  In the context of Wesley's Quadrilateral, we believe:

1. SCRIPTURE: We believe in the authority of Scripture as the inspired Word of God, unique and sufficient in its revelation of the substance of our faith and of God's way and will for our lives.

2. EXPERIENCE: We believe in the need for personal experience of God's saving love in Christ Jesus, for conversion and rebirth, and for a living and ever maturing covenant with Jesus Christ as the Lord of our life.

3. TRADITION: We believe in the necessity of reappropriating Wesley's vision of Christian existence: holiness of heart and life. And we must renew God's original purpose for the people called Methodists: to spread Scriptural holiness to the land. That includes an abiding openness to the prevenient, justifying and sanctifying grace of God in our lives through the Holy Spirit. We affirm that the singular aim of Christian life is to be made perfect in love. With Wesley, we recognize that there is no holiness but social holiness; that is, that holiness signifies the continuation of Christ's own ministry of reconciliation for the lost and justice for the poor, the needy and the oppressed. The still-warm heart of our tradition, and the motivation for our mission, is that of an unstoppable passion for evangelism and for spirituality, for incarnating the life of Christ and offering it to others, We were born of, and are called to continue to exist as, an evangelical movement of the Spirit.

4. REASON: We believe in the power of reason and right thinking, and that we must have not only the heart, but also the mind of Christ. Our theology must manifest the same integrity and maturity as our spirituality, and must be as catholic in the acceptance of differing visions of the revelation of God in Christ as the Scriptures themselves. As long as we are together on the essentials of our faith, we take our diversity to be one of our great strengths.

In summary, UMORE exists as an inclusive servant for the carrying out of the original mandate given to the Wesleys, to Albright, and to Otterbein:  to spread Scriptural holiness to the land. Toward that end, we call our church to reestablish the Great Commission as our number one task, to make disciples of all peoples, beginning with ourselves. Let us go on to perfection as bearers of God's redemptive love!
