Detailed description:
We envision this cooperative ministry as a vital, vibrant, visible and growing community of faith, passionately modeling the life of Christ through significant healthy relationships with believers, unbelievers and seekers. Methodism was founded in 1729 by John Wesley, an Anglican priest, in England. Baltimore became the cradle of Methodism in America in 1784 when the church was officially organized at a conference during Christmas at the Lovely Lane Meeting House in Baltimore. After several splits and mergers, The United Methodist Church was born in 1968 when Methodists merged with the Evangelical United Brethren. United Methodism is a mainstream Protestant religion. It is distinctive in its emphasis on grace being available to all people. United Methodists combine personal holiness with social witness and action, believing that the love of God is always tied to love of neighbor, a passion for justice and renewal in the life of the world.
