HISTORY The early history of the church started in the mid-1700's in England
with John and Charles Wesley. Often ridiculed for their intensive
bible study and methodical prayer, the two brothers succeeded in leading a
lively renewal movement in the Church of England. As people moved
from England to the American colonies, the Methodist movement grew.
In 1771, John sent Francis Asbury to America. Francis' devotion to
the ministry resulted in him becoming the most prominent person in the
early American Methodism.
BELIEFS John Wesley and the early Methodists were particularly concerned about inviting people to experience God’s grace and to grow in their knowledge and love of God through disciplined Christian living. They placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as "practical divinity" has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today. We invite you to learn more about our rich theological heritage.
