As a Wesleyan expression of Christianity, Cheatham Memorial Methodist Church professes the Christian faith, established on the confession of Jesus as Messiah, the Son of God, and the resurrected Lord of heaven and earth. This confession, expressed by Simon Peter in Matthew 16:16-19 and Acts 2:32, is foundational. It declares Jesus is the unique incarnate Word of God, and he lives today, calling all to receive him as Savior and as the one to whom all authority has been given.

 This faith has been tested and proved since its proclamation by Mary Magdalene, the first witness of the resurrection. It was defended by the women and men of the early church, many of whom gave their lives as testimony. Their labors, enabled by the Holy Spirit, resulted in the canon of Scripture as the sufficient rule for both faith and practice. It formulated creeds such as the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Chalcedonian Creed as accurate expressions of this faith.

We are a Bible-believing church. As disciples, we have heard the call of Jesus to serve our community with faithful witness and loving action.
