First and foremost,  a Methodist is a Christian. 

Methodism has a history going back 300 years.  Elements that make Methodists distinctive are....

• A belief that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love and that God’s love is for everybody, not a chosen few.
• A major emphasis on Social Action and fighting for fairness & justice in each person's own local community and throughout the world.
