The Free Methodist Church is evangelical in nature and Wesleyan in theology. The Free Methodist Church clings to the historic tenets of the Methodist faith as founded by John Wesley in the 18th century. This includes an emphasis placed on Biblical missions and acts of service while upholding the significance of sanctification and holiness in the life of the believer.
At the same time, the Free Methodist Church is rooted in the evangelical tradition and therefore proclaims the infallibility of scripture as the final authority on all matters of doctrine, faith, and practice.
Finally, the "Free" in the Free Methodist Church is not without meaning. The Free Methodist Church was founded in the 1860s in opposition to slavery and still maintains its commitment to recognizing the dignity and worth inherent to all God's children.
FREE METHODISTS are first and foremost a Kingdom people. Yet throughout church history, God has raised up distinct movements like ours to enrich the larger body of Christ. . . We call it The Free Methodist Way.
GOD’S CALL TO HOLINESS was never meant to be a burden, but a gift that liberates us for life that is truly life by delivering us from the destructive power of sin.
LOVE IS THE WAY WE DEMONSTRATE GOD’S HEART FOR JUSTICE by valuing the image of God in all men, women, and children, acting with compassion toward the oppressed, resisting oppression, and stewarding Creation.
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST — the message He proclaimed, the life He lived, and the ministry He modeled — set into motion a redemptive movement destined to fill the whole earth.
FROM THE BEGINNING, GOD’S INTENT WAS TO HAVE A PEOPLE FROM EVERY NATION, culture and ethnicity, united in Christ and commissioned to carry out His work in the world.
WE HOLD UNWAVERINGLY to our conviction that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and our final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
