WHO WE ARE

Located in a beautiful rural part of Forsyth County, Old Richmond Evangelical Methodist Church (OREMC) has been in existence for over 80 years! Inspired by the faith of the families who began this fellowship in homes, OREMC continues to couple faith with compassion and service to our city, our county, and the world beyond.

We are associated with the Evangelical Methodist Church (EMC) denomination. The EMC is a group of local churches that focus on being:

Faith Based – Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ

People Centered – providing practical and spiritual help to people where they are

Community Focused – valuing the contribution of ALL to the work of God

Outreach Minded – being on the front line to influence lives locally and across the world

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Foundational Beliefs

The Word of God
We accept and believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We receive it as the revealed will and way of God for our daily life. (2 Timothy 3:16)

Humans

People are made in the image of God, but are marred by a state of disobedience toward God which separates us from Him unless we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior (Genesis 1:27-30; Psalm 100:3; John 3:16; Romans 5:8)

The Trinity
We believe in the Godhead, the Holy Trinity, in which there are three Persons of one substance, power, and eternity – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

Salvation

We believe that salvation is the gift of God’s grace. It cannot be gained or made more secure by good works, but is freely bestowed on all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. (John 1:12; Acts 16:30-33; Romans 10:9-10)

The Father
We believe in God the Father Almighty, revealed to mankind as an awesome God of Grace, love, might, mercy, justice and holiness. (Isaiah 40:28-29; John 3:16)

The Church

The Church is made up of born-again Christians across the world. We are united in our belief and acceptance of Jesus Christ and are strengthened in our faith by meeting and worshipping together (Galatians 6:10; Hebrews 10:24-25)

Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, who is both God and man; His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary and redeeming death, and His physical resurrection. (John 1:14; John 14:6)

Our Responsibility

We believe that until the return of Christ, it is the Christian’s duty and privilege to seek the fulfillment of Christ’s Great Commission and to minister in His name to a needy world. (Matthew 25:31-46; Mark 16:15)

The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who illuminates the Word of God, reveals Christ to the world and empowers believers to serve God. (Acts 1:8; John 14:26)
