Heart of Canadian Free Methodism

Course Dates

There are three goals of this course:

  1. Understand our roots: To provide a clear sense of our roots in the historic Methodist movement, rooted in orthodox Christianity and its development over the centuries to the present day. The focus will be on how our roots shape our present behaviours and passions for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
  2. Our call as a movement today: To provide a description of The Free Methodist Church in Canada™ as a growing movement of God carrying the gospel of Jesus Christ within the context of our distinctives as Methodists today. We are thoroughly evangelical with distinctives that God has called us to offer to the Church. You will receive a description of how we are functioning today using the best research and tools available to the wider Christian community and the culture we want to reach, but used by us to fulfill our distinctive call.
  3. Discover if our hearts share the same passion: To provide sufficient information and communicate our passion for impacting the world with the claims of Christ through our movement that will determine if you will be able to assent to live in harmony with the call of our movement.

Some things you should know:
