Liberal social activists

love The Wesleyan Church!

OUR HISTORY: The Wesleyan church was born in 1843 as an anti-slavery denomination when the Methodist church refused to condemn slavery as sin. Our denomination was 100% abolitionists and the service for the first women ordained in the US was held in upstate New York and the sermon was preached by one of our founders, abolitionist and woman’s rights preacher, Luther Lee. We have been pro-feminist since the mid 1800’s and at the forefront of the abolition of slavery. We can take you to one of our churches in South Carolina and show you bullet holes on the door from the right-wing extremists of the day trying to squelch the left-leaning Wesleyans. If you are a liberal social activist you’ll love the Wesleyan Church—we’re exactly who you hope we are!
