1.     Our primary value is to develop our personal relationship with God. We foster that relationship through private and communal worship, prayer, study, and service.

2.     We strive to become faithful disciples of Christ through our United Methodist precepts of scripture, tradition, experience, and reason.

3.     We believe the Stewartville United Methodist Church to be a congregation in which people can encounter the love of God in Jesus Christ. Because we have experienced God's love, we strive to share that love with others, locally and globally.

4.     We value the relationship that we have with one another through Christ; the fellowship we share is an intimate part of our connected community.

5.     We seek to be an inviting and accepting congregation in which the diverse backgrounds and talents of individuals are treasured, thus enriching our community.
