Practicing Your Faith

Wesleyan small groups bring people together to watch over one another in love.

United Methodists help one another grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. 

John Wesley, historic founder of the Methodist movement, succinctly described the plan of discipleship in what he called The General Rules. As Christians, we are to (1) do no harm by avoiding evil of every kind; (2) do good to all people; and (3) attend upon all the ordinances of God like participating in worship, taking Communion, reading the Bible, praying, and more.
