Methodists
Methodists are known as a singing denomination that enjoys life at the feast tables set with God’s blessings!
The word “Methodists” was first uttered in the 18th century. Only then it was expressed through making fun by giving a nickname to people who adhered to the laws of their faith. But God changed it because He said in His Word, “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” (Romans 8:28) and turned them into a denomination.
Two brothers John Wesley (1703-1791) and Charles Wesley (1707-1788) were members of the Church of England and attended Lincoln College (Oxford), and with the help of God formed the “Holy Club” or “Small Group.” The members of the small group met weekly to cultivate a sacred way of life. Admittedly, no one could have imagined that small groups would be found in almost every denomination.
On April 23, 1968 the United Evangelical Brotherhood and Methodist Church in the Dallas General Assembly founded the United Methodist Church.
The Methodist Church in Latvia began its ministry in 1921 and is one of the eight official denominations in Latvia.
