From our very origins in the Holy Club at Oxford, Wesley brought friends together for disciplined living, supportive fellowship, and then the going out to minister to the poor, the lost and the least in Christ’s name. While Wesley firmly held that we are justified by grace received in faith, he also believed that as justified believers our lives needed to bear fruit, give evidence of our justification or as he put it in a sermon, “Faith is not negated or supplanted by works, rather our works testify to the presence of a living faith working in us.”

Grace Confounding
Wesley stands in the historic Protestant tradition that held our getting right with God is entirely a matter of God’s grace, this unconditional, undeserved, unlimited love God offers to us in Christ Jesus. We can do nothing to deserve or earn our justification. We can do nothing to save ourselves. We can only receive the grace offered to us.
The Word of Life
We believe the Bible is the Word of life. The Scriptures tell a story, the narrative of God’s gracious love being shared with us in ways that bring us to life as God intends. This is why you and I read the Bible. All the other reasons have their place. But the ultimate reason why you read the Bible is to nurture faith in Christ Jesus and through faith to have life in his name.
