Our Vision Transformed People, Churches, and Communities Overflowing with the Grace and Holiness of Jesus Christ. Our Mission Equipping & Empowering Leaders and Churches to: REACH people with Christ | GROW disciples in Christ | SERVE communities through Christ Wesleyans believe in one God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the Saviour of all who put their faith in Him alone for eternal life. We believe that those who are made new in Christ are called to be holy in character and conduct, and can only live this way by being filled with the Lord's Spirit. We believe in the Bible and its sufficiency to establish our faith and conduct. We believe God wills for people everywhere to know Him and be made new in Christ. We believe that the purpose of the Church is to worship God in spirit and in truth, and to reach a lost and fallen world with the gospel of Jesus Christ through its worship, witness, and loving deeds. What We Believe Our Story The Wesleyan Methodist Church of Aotearoa-New Zealand (WMCANZ) has grown out of a revival movement that has historically given itself one mission – the spreading of Scriptural holiness throughout the nation. This message that ignited the Wesleyan revival in the 18th century in England was the announcement that God through Christ can forgive the sin which destroys us and release and reshape God's nature in us by His Holy Spirit. This new life brought about profound personal and social transformation. ​ The Wesleyan Methodist Church shares the dynamic orthodox Christian faith together with certain distinctive emphases. It encourages people to move toward maturity in discipleship, described by John Wesley as "Scriptural Holiness". This includes an assurance and certainty of salvation and commitment to continuing personal and social transformation. We believe in the priesthood of all believers as stated in Scripture and recognises that God calls each person to tasks and gifts of ministry empowered by the Holy Spirit. ​ The call of God upon some may lead the Church to set them aside for specific responsibilities. Some are called to the Ministry of Word, Sacraments and Pastoral Care and the Church recognises this by ordination and the laying-on of hands and prayer for the anointing and blessing of the Holy Spirit. Others are called to various ministries that the Church recognises appropriately. ​ The Wesleyan Methodist Church of Aotearoa-New Zealand (WMCANZ) has grown out of a revival movement that has historically given itself one mission – the spreading of Scriptural holiness throughout the nation. ​ The Wesleyan Methodist Church recognises the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion and encourages all partners to seek to worship together on the Lord's Day. ​ We are a multi-ethnic Church family which delights in the variety of cultures and languages God has given us. When we gather together annually, we celebrate the vibrancy of our faith in Jesus Christ through varied cultural expression. We believe that multi-cultural New Zealand will only be effectively evangelised by a multi-cultural mission. ​ We are a mission-minded movement which places local churches at the heart of mission in their contexts. Our movement is a “connexion” (a connection with the cross at the centre) encouraging one another to love God with all our heart, mind, soul & strength. Our network of local churches is joined together by common beliefs, shared vision and values, and accountable practices. Our national leaders are called to equip and empower local congregations for local, national and international mission.​
