Looking for an ONLINE visit to your congregation?

Methodist History comes to life and inspires your congregation's future!

Simon Blessing at Barratts Chapel

Your church's future starts in the past.

Founders' Faith takes your congregation on a journey to the early days of American Methodism.  The story of the Methodists is filled with inspiring moments that translate across the centuries:

  • challenges on the journey of faith
  • building a community against all odds
  • accepting and being accepted
  • struggling to keep the faith in trying times
  • imperfect, even doubtful believers

Out of the books - into your sanctuary.

A visit from Founders' Faith is more than a history lesson! People from your denomination, foundations of your faith, come to life in your sanctuary, your fellowship hall, your assembly room. You hear their stories, you learn their lessons, you sing hymns and pray together. The feeling of early Methodist society pervades your church. You get inspiration from the past, and motivation for the future.

These "ghosts of Methodist past" can visit your congregation during worship or a special event. They can serve as a special sermon, or lead an entire service! You will have a unique experience that will reawaken your understanding of where Methodists come from - and where you can go together.

"I ask no more: 'give me thine hand.'"*
