Local Preachers
"Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of
season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and
careful instruction." 2 Timothy 4:2
(NIV)
Local preachers are those who have been accredited to lead
worship and preach in the Methodist church. Local preachers
have been an important part of the Methodist church since the
eighteenth century and continue to play a vital role
today.
