FIRM FOUNDATIONS
John Wesley encouraged believers to remain united and use a balanced approach in the ongoing effort to live as Christians in the midst of the complexities of a secular world. It is vital in today's world for us to follow this methodology as we explore our way forward:
This method , known as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, based its teaching on four sources:
scripture, tradition, reason, and experience
THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE
Everyday we're confronted with issues that try to divide us, and unity seems out of reach. It's only by remembering Jesus' example- a life of sacrificial love -that we're able to love others; even if we disagree.

- To be loyal to Christ through The United Methodist Church and do all in their power to strengthen its ministries;
