Confessing Movement

"The Confessing Movement is a witness by United Methodist lay men and women, clergy, and congregations who pledge unequivocal and confident allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ according to 'the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints' (Jude 3).

The purpose of the Confessing Movement is to contend for the apostolic faith within the United Methodist Church. It will seek to reclaim and reaffirm the Church's ancient ecumenical faith in Wesleyan terms within United Methodism."
