New Town United Methodist Church's beliefs are in harmony with the Doctrinal Standards of the United Methodist Church.  We are disciples of Jesus Christ in the historical company of the Rev. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.  Wesleyan theology has been summarized in this way:

• All need to be saved.
• All may be saved.
• All may know that they are saved.
• All may be saved to the utmost.

When we use the term "saved" what we mean is that we all can come into a right relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ by the aid of the Holy Spirit.  As a result of this right relationship with God we are set free from bondage to sin, set free from a distorted sense of self, and set free from the skewed value system of society.  Through faith in Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit we are given new-birth and a
new-beginning.  We also find that through faith in Christ we begin to come into right relationship with others and ourselves.  Through faith in Christ we receive the gift of eternal life, which is a quality of life that begins in the here and now and will endure forever in the kingdom of God.
