Who was the founder of the Methodist Church, the man who took a small group of Theology students in groups of eleven with one Bible Study Teacher and grew this small Holy Club to the huge Christian Denomination it is today? Well for starters this man that was the method behind Methodism to the founder of the Methodist church is non-other than John Wesley.

John Wesley was born on June 17, 1703, into a strong Anglican home his father, Samuel, was a priest, his mother, Susanna, taught religion and morals faithfully to her nineteen children. Wesley went to the Charterhouse in London for six years before he entered Oxford, in 1720. Oxford proved to turn Wesley into a fine scholar, where he would graduate in 1724. Wesley would go on to become soon ordained into the Anglican ministry and in 1725 he was made a deacon by the bishop at Oxford. In 1726 John Wesley would go on to be chosen to a fellowship at Lincoln College. After assisting his father at Epworth and Wroot, he would go on to be ordained a priest on September 22, 1728.
