About the Birmingham Methodist District
The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. It does this through worship, learning and caring, service and evangelism
In the power of the Holy Spirit we seek to grow disciples of Jesus Christ.
Growing…
in numbers of new disciples,
in depth of discipleship,
in the transformation of communities and society.
