Super Wednesday

John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, had his own conversion experience at a prayer meeting on Aldersgate Street in London on May 24, 1738.  He recorded in his journal that he reluctantly attended the meeting.  During the reading of the preface to Luther’s Commentary on Romans, he wrote: “…I felt my heart strangely warmed.  I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for my salvation: And an assurance was given me, that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.”

Wesley found God in a way he had previously not experienced.  While it was a profound experience for him, it was significant in that it changed the way he lived in and through the Church.  Wesley and the early Methodists devoted themselves to inviting people to experience God’s grace in this same way, and to grow in their knowledge and love of God through the spiritual disciplines of a Christ-like life. Early Methodists placed primary emphasis on these disciplines, and taught how to put faith and love into action. We are, as a result, directly related to Wesley and these early Methodists in our unique “DNA.”  It is who we are, and what we do!  Our rich theological heritage is exciting, and informs who we are today.  We believe that through Christ, and the learning and practicing of these spiritual disciplines, lives are transformed, and the Kingdom grows!

CLUMC is not only a church worth finding, it is a place where people can come to know God and God's purposes for their lives. It is a place where you can be affirmed, accepted, challenged and inspired. It is a place that surrounds folks with the support that we all need!
