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.

One way to commit to this is for you to become a member. Methodist members are committed to joining together in service, worship, evangelism, learning and caring.

“Ultimately our vocation is to become ourselves, in the thousand thousand variants we are.”

Richard Rohr

Methodist membership opens doors to the following ministries:

  • Pastoral visitor
