Does your church have a statement of faith that you could share?

What is your stance on the Nicene Creed?

How often does your church take communion?

Is there a difference between Free Methodist and not free Methodist?

1.Need to think about that
2. NO Idea
3. About once a month
4. It was free to rent a pew back in the day, and we are more conservant in our views.

Let it be said that I am only 13! so don't ask to hard of a question

2. This is the Nicene Creed: http://www.antiochian.org/674

What does your Sunday service look like?

Do you interact with kids your age from other churches in the area?

At what age are people in your church usually baptized?

And a bit harder so feel free to ignore but do you practice open or closed communion? Meaning can only members of your church take communion or can any Christian take communion?

1. We don't really say it, but we believe it
2. Basically, worship, message, and we go home
3. Yeah, I do bible quizzing at an allience church which is basically the same
4. Other churches of our kind do babtisms, but we don't
5. My parents and I can do it, and we're not members, so open

4. Is there a reason you don't do baptisms?

5. Could a Catholic or a Mormon take communion with you?

What do you think are non-negotiable doctrines?

What are some ways your church is more conservative than other Methodist churches?

Don't worry, almost nobody on here supports gay "marriage", I'm sure. But you "never get around" to baptism? Something tells me me you don't exactly consider it to be an essential sacrament ordered by Christ to cleanse babies of original sin... Might I just possibly be correct? (Lots of protestants are that way, so no biggy.)

What kinds of clothes do you typically wear to church?

Basically, a striped shirt, and maybe kakis, cords, or, (parish the thought) jeans even.

Sounds normal to me. :)

What about music? Are you all hymns and such style? Or do you use electric guitars and sing worship songs from SCC and such?
