Our Challenge as Free Methodists:
To Become an Apostolic Movement

The Word of God is our standard and guide in all we do and propose. It is through the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom that results from seeking God, that clarity vision and understanding of function emerges. It is through the confirmation of God's people that vision can become a reality and that the prayers of the saints can result in great movements of God in our world. The call to become an apostolic movement, a movement of God into the harvest fields of the world, will mean a church:

1)focused on the message of the cross,
the resurrection and the Kingdom of God
2)with sound doctrine, integrating faith and learning
3)with a holy passion, surrendered to the purposes of God
4)that reaches and multiplies across all boundaries: religious,
ethnic and national

Simply, a church that models Jesus.

We believe that the local church is God's instrument to transform society. We believe that local leaders are to be entrusted with the privilege and responsibility of fulfilling our Core Values. This, in short, represents the theological and practical basis for the proposals that follow.
