Our calling is rooted in a desire to see our communities transformed for the good of all.

The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.


The Methodist Church looks at doing this through four key areas:

our-calling-worship-180

Worship

The Church exists to increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love 

our-calling-learning-and-caring-180

Learning and Caring

The Church exists to help people to grow and learn as Christians, through mutual support and care 

our-calling-sevice-180

Service

The Church exists to be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice

our-calling-evangelism-new2

Evangelism

The Church exists to make more followers of Jesus Christ


How do we live our lives in response to this calling?

A Methodist Way of Life is a rhythm of discipleship that helps us to put this commitment into practice, as individuals and communities. It's not judgemental and it's easier to jump into, wherever you are on your journey.

We are exploring new places for people to experience faith, hope and love.
