Hamline Church is deeply rooted in the Wesleyan tradition. The United Methodist Church affirms spiritual diversity and individual integrity. Our beliefs are not dictated by doctrinal statements or confessions, but shaped and guided by rigorous prayerful reflection on scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. As members of a faith community, we developed a set of spiritual values that reflect how we seek to carry out Christ's work in the world.
