“There have been many Methodist churches that have closed in the core, and we believe there is still valid ministry to be done. It just needs to be reinvented, ... We believe God is not done with Methodism in the inner city.”
Barry Carpenter
“The Methodist churches, we're organized in circuits.”
Ron Kral
“First United Methodist Church has a van that's taking us to Birmingham.”
Crystal Hawkins
“They are providing financial resources and volunteers. From our Methodist heritage, that's our roots.”
Marc Brown
“I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power. And this undoubtedly will be the case unless they hold fast both the doctrine, spirit, and discipline with which they first set out.”
John Wesley
“I think we just fell behind on too many batters. Clearly Methodist is a good team. And they capitalized on that.”
Paul Giemza
“We have a denominationally diverse group, ... Our group includes some Southern Baptists, some Missionary Baptists, some United Methodists, a couple of AME Methodists, some Presbyterians, some Church of God and Church of Christ, and a father and son who are Messianic Jews.”
