Why the Church Needs Methodism
In this video, Dr. Kevin Watson explains how the Methodist church was birthed as an awakening movement to call nominal Christians into the full breadth of life as a child of God.
When we speak of awakening, we’re not talking about new age enlightenment, political upheaval, or social activism.
We’re talking about a daily alignment of our life to the light and love of Jesus, as we read in Ephesians:
Our work is anchored in helping dissatisfied and passionate believers follow that ancient hymn. If that resonates with you, we invite you to join us.
Join us this Lent as we journey with Jesus together into the wild, and take a look at the remarkable scene in Luke 4:1-14 between Jesus and our adversary in the desert.
Jesus in the Wild is a perfect personal study and daily reader for individuals who want to gain a deeper sense of their vocation and calling in Christ, and for groups or congregations wanting a study on this well-known and moving passage.
Books and a church kit are available to order!
Every year we gather together to be restored, refreshed, and reignited by the Holy Spirit. We invite you and your family or team to join us!
A Discipleship Band is a group of 3 to 5 people who read together, pray together, and meet together to become the love of God for one another and the world.
A series of short talks on theological topics from a wide variety of Christian professors, pastors, speakers, and theologians.
An invitation for worship leaders to join us in a place of fellowship, encounter, and prayer.
Sourced and expanding out from the New Room family, Altars will initiate a friend group that redefines the meaning of “worship band.” This will be a fellowship founded in trust, courage, and empathy, and a community of banded discipleship in which all generations and styles are welcome!

In this video, Dr. Kevin Watson explains the vibrant early history of a group of people called Methodists, and compares that to the faith many have settled for in its place.
The good news is Scripture clearly and repeatedly speaks to God’s desire to do a great work in us.
Christians are not formed in isolation—the pursuit of holiness is a communal endeavor.
When Methodists have lowered their expectations of what God can do in this life, spiritual and numeric decline have followed.
It is time to retrieve and receive the grand depositum that God has so graciously given to us.
What if God wants to, in the words of Charles Wesley, “break the power of canceled sin”? Kevin Watson writes about the half-gospel of escaping sin and death.
Fully known. Fully loved. This is what is already ours in Christ, and what we can experience in transformative small groups called band meetings.
Life-changing groups will have members who honor the promise of confidentiality that is made in each group. Read more from Kevin Watson as he expresses a key element of transformative small group experiences.
Are you in a strange place with your small group? Kevin Watson shares the normal stages of a healthy small group in his book, The Class Meeting.
The decline of the class meeting matters because disciples of Jesus Christ are called to live different lives, not just think different thoughts. Read more from Kevin Watson as he offers a challenge to the 21st century church.
The practice of confession is the discipline of bearing ourselves before God and others for the sake of release from the power of sin. Watch this Seven Minute Seminary video with Dr. Kevin Watson as he shares an underrated and powerful spiritual discipline for the Christian life.
