About Us
Our Beliefs
Since its inception, God’s Spirit has enlivened the Methodist movement. In the 1720s John and Charles Wesley and friends at Oxford University met together to deepen their Christian faith through daily, practical spiritual disciplines. Derided by others as a “new sect of Methodists” for their “methodical” ways of practicing the faith and holding one another accountable to it, the small group embraced the insult and persevered in their fellowship. And so they and the millions who followed after them have ever since been known as “the people called Methodists.”
The Global Methodist Church officially launched in Virginia in July 2023. The Transitional District Advisory Team (TDAT) was stood up in July to help lead Virginia churches in the process of affiliation to the Global Methodist Church and to help connect churches in Virginia that were already affiliated with the Global Methodist Church.
