Brief History

In 1729 in England, a small group of Oxford University students were ridiculed as "Bible Bigots," the "Holy Club" and "Methodists" because they spent so much time in methodical prayer and Bible reading. Led by John and Charles Wesley, he students held their ground against jeering students and went out to preach and pray with those considered to be the underbelly of English society.

The United Methodist Church is the result of the 1939 merger of three Methodist bodies (Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal South and Methodist Protestant churches), and a 1968 union of the Evangelical United Brethren and The Methodist churches.

The mission of the Untied Methodist Church is to

make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Jesus tells his disciples in Matthew 28: 19-20, “Go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them into

the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and then teach these new disciples to obey all the commands

I have given you: and be sure this—that I am with you always, even to the end of the world”.

The heart of Christian ministry is Christ's ministry of outreaching love. All Christians are called to minister wherever Christ would have them serve and witness in deeds and words that heal and free.
