Our Mission is to make Disciples of Jesus Christ.
At Smoky Mountain Global Methodist Church (SMGMC) our core values are based on the Authority of the Bible which we regard as God’s Holy Word. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3.16, 17.
Our values are summed up well in The Apostles’ Creed which we profess each Sunday.
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
