"Solitary religion is not to be found there. “Holy Solitaries” is a phrase no more consistent with the gospel than Holy Adulterers. The gospel of Christ knows of no religion, but social; no holiness but social holiness. Faith working by love, is the length and breadth and depth and height of Christian perfection." - John Wesley

If you hang around Methodism long enough, you will probably hear the phrase, "social holiness." Since the beginning of the Methodist movement - which started in 18th century England, led by John Wesley - connection and living out our faith together has been a core part of our identity. Even outside observers credited the success of early Methodism to our ability to connect people into small discipleship communities where they could "watch over one another in love."

Simply put, social holiness means that the context of our life with God is community. Sharing your journey with people you have come to trust - people who are on the journey with you - is a deeply transformative experience. Perhaps this is why we see Jesus spending his ministry with 12 disciples, often retreating from the crowds to be alone with this small group.

As we build this community in Southeast Guilford County, this connection - to each other and to God through the Holy Spirit - will be our backbone as we follow Jesus together and share God's deep and healing love with our community.

​
