Methodists stand within the Protestant tradition of the worldwide Christian Church. Their core beliefs reflect orthodox Christianity. Methodist teaching is sometimes summed up in four particular ideas known as the four ALLs.

1. All need to be saved – the doctrine of original sin
2. All can be saved – Universal Salvation
3. All can know they are saved – Assurance
4. All can be saved completely – Christian perfection

Methodist churches vary in their style of worship during services.

 The emphasis is often on Bible reading and preaching,

although the sacraments are an important feature,

especially the two instituted by Christ: Eucharist or Holy Communion and Baptism.

Hymn singing is a lively feature of Methodist services.

The founder’s brother, Charles Wesley, was a prolific hymn writer and

many of his works are still sung today both in Methodist and other churches.
