First adopted by the 1972 General Conference, the Social Principles articulate Methodists’ ethical aspirations for the common good in our public policies and personal commitments. The 2025-2028 Social Principles especially address global social concerns, reflecting the diverse contexts of the worldwide church.

Pastor Teresa and Earl would like to explore with you what’s new in Social Principles and what we stand for as a Methodist church that does not separate love of God from love of neighbor, worship and personal holiness from working for holiness in society. Contact Pastor Earl—pastorearl@uumc.org—with any questions!
