Trade United Methodist Church is part of the greater
United Methodist Church.
As United Methodists, we have an obligation
to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality
at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this
obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological
inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own
time.
Two considerations are central to this endeavor: the sources from which we
derive our theological affirmations and the criteria by which we assess
the adequacy of our understanding and witness.
Wesley believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed
in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and
confirmed by reason.

Background
We are
located in northeast Tennessee about one mile from the North
Carolina-Tennessee border on Highway 421 South. Trade is the oldest
community in Tennessee. Daniel Boone established a trading post, from which
comes the name Trade, so Native Americans and pioneer settlers could buy and
sell their goods.
Trade United Methodist Church was established in 1923. In 1964, we moved to
the current building. Our congregation numbers 62. Reverend Larry Rye is our
pastor, who we share with
First United Methodist Church in Mountain City. You may reach the
church office in Mountain City at (423) 727-7554. Trade United
Methodist Church is a member of the
Holston Conference.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Assisting those in need
The members
of Trade United Methodist Church are committed to assisting those in our
community who are in need. It has been agreed that we will handle those
requests just as we have always handled any other request of that nature.
It is preferred that the person make a personal visit to Trade Church to
present his request. However if he/she is not able to come to the church,
then he/she should personally contact any church member either by telephone
or in person to let them know of the situation and need. In either
situation, it will be brought before the church. TUMC has always been very
generous in helping those in need so we do not feel this is too much to ask. |
Vision
As members
of the Christian community, we believe in the Holy Trinity of God the
Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus came to earth to preach
and teach salvation through Him, take on our sins, die on the cross, and
rise from the dead. He waits for you right now to join into the fellowship
of Christians. |
