Class Meetings

Class Meetings are foundational to spiritual growth and discipleship in the Methodist Church. They serve as a catalyst for the implementation of Wesleyan accountability structures across the Trinity Conference for the transformation of local congregations.

Originally instituted by John Wesley in the 18th century, these small groups served as places for believers to support one another in faith, offering a safe space for accountability, prayer, and encouragement. Today, Class Meetings remain a powerful tool for fostering deep, personal relationships within the Christian community. By gathering regularly, participants experience authentic fellowship, grow in their understanding of Scripture, and are held accountable to living out their faith. Engaging in a Class Meeting offers a dynamic way to deepen your walk with Christ, experience life-changing discipleship, and participate in a vibrant, Christ-centered community.

We invite you to use this set of resources to begin the practice of class meetings in your local church. This is original content developed by the members of the Trinity Conference Class Meeting Committee.
