The Methodist Church is a Christian denomination. A Christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ and follows his teachings.
Being a member or the Methodist Church is a way of life and there are twelve things that we do individually and together as we grow as followers of Jesus, which help us to worship God, serve others, be evangelistic, and learn and care together.
