The Wesleyan Church addresses contemporary social issues from a biblical and collective conscience perspective. Issues arise periodically that require serious deliberation by the Church as a community of believers regarding its collective witness for Christ in society (Church and Culture, p. 10-11, 2016 revision).
This page is dedicated to ongoing conversation, learning and stories of how The Wesleyan Church and its members are working to fulfill Matthew 22:37-30: “Jesus replied, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
