Methodists are members of a Christian denomination that originated in the 18th century, founded by John Wesley and his brother Charles Wesley. They emphasize a personal relationship with God, the importance of faith, and living a life of service. Methodism is known for its structured approach to worship and community, often featuring hymns and sermons that inspire and educate. The Methodist Church is characterized by its belief in grace, which means that God's love is available to everyone. They practice sacraments like baptism and Holy Communion, and they often engage in social justice efforts, reflecting their commitment to helping those in need.
