Our  Methodist History

John Wesley
(1703 - 1791)

    John Wesley was an ordained Anglican priest. At a prayer meeting in London on May 24, 1738, he received the new inspiration which led him to become the first teacher of "Methodism."

   Today, John Wesley's life and teachings still carry a special meaning to United Methodists -

         Goal of being faithful disciples of Jesus Christ

        Examples of sharing God through missions

        Concern with social problems

        Emphasis on ecumenism

        Belief in the grace and forgiveness of God's love...
