And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

A Statement on behalf of
The Fellowship of Independent Methodist Churches
 
 
​As a group of Methodist Churches throughout Northern Ireland, we are committed to upholding and defending the doctrines of the Word of God, including the traditional Biblical teaching on marriage.

We are therefore deeply saddened by the decision of the Methodist Church in Great Britain to redefine marriage to include homosexuality, to conduct same sex weddings and approve of cohabitation as an alternative to marriage.

The fact that they state that it was after several years of consultation throughout the denomination and was passed by 254 votes to 46 reveals how widespread the departure from Scripture is within the denomination. If instead they had consulted with the Scriptures and sought the will of God with an open mind, they would have come to a different conclusion.

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism described the mission of Methodism as: “to reform the nation and the church, to spread Scriptural holiness over the land.” It is a tragedy that today the Methodist church in Britain, which was raised up to “spread Scriptural holiness throughout the land” is now endorsing what the Scripture condemns as sin.

As a conservative Methodist denomination, we reaffirm our commitment to Scriptural holiness and to the defence and proclamation of Biblical truth. We would call on all churches and individuals who bear the name of Methodist to state unequivocally their disapproval of this departure from the Word of God and to break all fellowship with what is now clearly an apostate church.
