Frkls- United Methodist question

[Bernadine]

We went to a blessing of the bikes yesterday, sponsored by a Christian motorcyle organization.  One speaker mentioned Satan repeatedly, as if it were a person.  It made me think- I have always gone to United Methodist churches, and I don't remember hearing a lot about Satan.  I've googled a bit, and there seems to be a lot of differing opinions.  What's the official thought from the UMC?

I'm a UM and it's not a very "talked about" thing like it was when I was growing up Southern Baptist.

ETA: I am a member of a UMC but I do not attend. I'm really on the fence with Jesus these days.
