Methodist churches

Protestant worship buildings

Methodist churches are Protestant Christian congregations following the teachings of John Wesley, an 18th-century Anglican clergyman who emphasized personal faith, social justice, and methodical spiritual discipline.

The name comes from the systematic ("methodical") approach Wesley's followers took to Bible study and prayer.

Methodist denominations are known for their emphasis on free will, good works, and social activism.

There's a Methodist church on nearly every corner in this town.
