The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission
It does this through:
Worship
The Church exists to increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love
Learning and Caring
The Church exists to help people to grow and learn as Christians, through mutual support and care
Service
The Church exists to be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice
Evangelism
The Church exists to make more followers of Jesus Christ
How do we live our lives in response to this calling?
A Methodist Way of Life is a rhythm of discipleship that helps us to put this commitment into practice, as individuals and communities.
