Faith Matters

Asking the question “What is a Christian?“, is asking the most important question of all.  You may find some of the answers here helpful. 

When you’ve had a look at these answers, do come to any of the churches of Enfield Circuit for help with working it out for day-to-day living, for you!  God loves you and wants you to understand what that means for you.

First and foremost, a Methodist is a Christian.  Methodism has a history going back 300 years.  Elements that make Methodists distinctive are….

• A belief that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love and that God’s love is for everybody, not a chosen few.
• A major emphasis on Social Action and fighting for fairness & justice in each person’s own local community and throughout the world.
