Coming up

Grand Illusion or New Beginning? This Sunday, we’re diving into the heart of John 20:1-18, where we encounter truths of the awe-inspiring story of the empty tomb and Jesus’ resurrection. Join us as we explore the theme of new beginnings, seeing how the dawn of that first Easter morning illuminates our own paths with hope, transformation, and unexpected encounters with the Divine. We’ll journey with Mary Magdalene from the darkness of grief to the radiant light of purpose and discover how our own stories are woven into the fabric of this miraculous day. Prepare to be uplifted and renewed as we celebrate the power of resurrection and the promise of new life it brings to us all. Don’t miss this message of hope and transformation!

We Are Global Methodists

Since its inception, God’s Spirit has enlivened the Methodist movement. In the 1720s John and Charles Wesley and friends at Oxford University met together to deepen their Christian faith through daily, practical spiritual disciplines. Derided by others as a “new sect of Methodists” for their “methodical” ways of practicing the faith and holding one another accountable to it, the small group embraced the insult and persevered in their fellowship. And so they and the millions who followed after them have ever since been known as “the people called Methodists.”
