Five Marks of a Methodist – In Person Class
Sundays beginning May 4 • 10:30–11:30 am • In Person Class
Note: no class June 1
In 1742, John Wesley published a short tract entitled “The Character of a Methodist” to clarify what he meant by the term “Methodist,” especially in light of growing criticism and misunderstanding of the Methodist movement. Rather than focusing on outward practices, Wesley emphasized that the true “character” of a Methodist is rooted in love of God and neighbor, marked by humble faith, sincere devotion, and moral transformation.
Discover what it truly means to live out your faith as a Methodist in this engaging six-week small group study based on Five Marks of a Methodist by Steve Harper and featuring Rev. Magrey DeVega. Rooted in John Wesley’s historic definition of a Methodist, this study invites participants to reflect on five key characteristics of a faithful disciple: love of God, rejoicing in God, giving thanks, praying constantly, and loving others. Through accessible readings, thought-provoking questions, and meaningful discussion, this study will deepen your spiritual life and connect you more fully to the heart of Wesleyan discipleship. Whether you’re new to the church or a lifelong Methodist, this series offers a fresh and practical path for growing in grace together.
Rev. Jerry Lee Butler will lead the class.
