Pastor Don Dinger
For more than 100 years the Steele United Methodist Church has continued to be an active part of our community. As the world around us continues to change, we strive to be current, relevant, and necessary without changing God’s word, church discipline and personal convictions. Our goal is to make an impact, by showing the love of God through our words and actions to everyone we meet, inside the church and out.
We Believe
-
The Bible
We believe the scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments are the inspired word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” (NLT) We believe the Holy Spirit guided and directed human authors to create God’s written means of communication with us, which reveals God’s love and plan to be in relationship with all of humanity. The Bible is God’s blueprint for living the Christian life and is our source for faith and practice.
-
God
We believe in one God, who exists in three distinct persons - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is equally the one God in being, essence, character, power, and eternal qualities.
-
Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior who came to earth in the flesh to reveal God to humans. Jesus was the start of the restoration process for a fallen humanity to reconnect our personal relationship with God. We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary; he is both fully human and fully God. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and embodies the truth about God and the truth of God. Jesus willingly died on the cross to demonstrate God’s love for sinful humans and to provide salvation for all humanity. His sacrifice in our place provides all humans the means to be reconnected with their loving Creator. We believe in the physical resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Jesus ascended into heaven, where he rules as our Lord (absolute authority) and advocate. Jesus will return to earth again to establish God’s perfect peace and justice for all time.
-
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the divine personhood of the Holy Spirit as an equal part of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is God present, living within each follower to empower a life that reflects the lifestyle, values, and character of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the change agent in the lives of Jesus’ followers, illuminating God’s word for understanding and application. The Spirit is actively working within the Christian community and world at large to bring about God’s plan of redemption for all of creation.
-
The Church
We believe the Church, the Body, the Bride of Christ is a spiritual organism made up of those who are in correct relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, who are called into fellowship and worship together. We believe everyone in relationship with Christ is gifted, empowered, and called to serve within God’s mission to reach the world.
