In memory of this, John often referred to himself as "A branch plucked out of the burning" (cf. Amos 4:11, zech 3:2). At the age of ten and a half years in january 1714, John entered the Chater House on the nomination of the Duke of Buckingham to study. though he went in as a saint he left there as a sinner - because of the vices in the school.

Our Doctrine

STEWARDSHIP

Christ’s Ministers in the Church are Stewards in the household of God and Shepherds of His flock. Some are called and ordained to this sole occupation and have a principal and directing part in these great duties but they hold no priesthood differing in kind from that which is common to all the Lord’s people and they have no exclusive title to the preaching of the gospel or the care of souls. These ministries are shared with them by others to whom also the Spirit divides His gifts severally as He wills.

EVANGELISM

The Doctrines of Evangelical Faith which Methodism has held from the beginning and still holds are based upon the Divine revelation recorded in the Scriptures. Methodist Church acknowledges this revelation as the Supreme rule of faith and practice. These Evangelical Doctrines to which the Preachers of Methodist Church both Ministers and Laity are pledged are contained in the Wesley’s Notes on the New Testament and the first four volumes of his sermons.

GIFT AND THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

It is the universal conviction of Methodist Church that the office of the Christian Ministry depends upon the call of God who bestows the gifts of the spirit, the grace and the fruit which indicate those whom He has chosen.

BAPTISM & THE LORD'S SUPPER

Methodist Church recognizes TWO SACRAMENTS, namely BAPTISM and the LORD’S SUPPER as Divine Appointments and of perpetual obligation of which it is the privilege and duty of members of The Methodist Church to avail themselves.
