Christ Wesleyan Church Milton Campus

Wesleyan church. Wesleyan Church developed from the 19th-century Holiness movement that emphasized John Wesley’s teaching on entire sanctification as a distinct work of grace after conversion. Formally organized in 1968 from earlier Methodist bodies, the Wesleyan Church holds Arminian theology rejecting predestination in favor of human free will in salvation. Wesleyans emphasize scriptural holiness in both personal life and social engagement, maintaining prohibitions against alcohol and tobacco while advocating for social reform. Their governance balances congregational elements with connectional oversight through districts and general conferences. Wesleyan worship tends to be warm and evangelical while maintaining theological depth. The denomination operates colleges and global missions, distinguishing itself from United Methodism through its continued emphasis on traditional moral standards and holiness teaching while engaging contemporary culture through discipleship and evangelism.
