A Methodist Way of Life

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. All members of the Methodist Church are encouraged to live out this calling in their daily lives.

‘A Methodist Way of Life’ is a list of simple commitments that help us to put our calling into practice. They are twelve things that we can do individually and together as we grow as followers of Jesus, which help us to worship God, serve others, be evangelistic, and learn and care together.

As far as we are able, with God’s help:

Worship

• We will pray daily.
• We will worship with others regularly.
• We will look and listen for God in Scripture, and the world.

Learning and Caring

• We will care for ourselves and those around us.
• We will learn more about our faith.
• We will practise hospitality and generosity.

Service

• We will help people in our communities and beyond.
• We will care for creation and all God’s gifts.
• We will challenge injustice.

Evangelism

• We will speak of the love of God.
• We will live in a way that draws others to Jesus.
• We will share our faith with others.
