OUR VISION: To see the Methodist Movement alive, vibrant, growing and yearning to spread the good news of Christ Jesus throughout the whole world through word, deed and sign!

The World Methodist Council links together the 70 million family of Methodist and related United Churches in the "Wesleyan tradition" in 130 countries.

These churches in the Methodist family stand within the continuity of the one universal Church, confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, worshipping the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, preaching the one gospel, accepting the authority of the holy scriptures, and the creeds of the early Church.

Formed in 1881, the World Methodist Council is one of the earliest organized Christian World Communions. The World Methodist Family traces its roots from the Wesleys, John, Charles, and Susanna in the 18th century in England.

 

 

 

 

 

John Wesley described an important understanding for the Methodist People:

In essentials - Fidelity
In non-essentials - Liberty
In all things - Charity

The World Methodist Council through its World Evangelism Division spreads the Good News of Christ Jesus. As a Christian World Communion, the World Methodist Council is unique with a full-time World Director of Evangelism and a World Methodist Evangelism Institute connected to a major University.
