A class meeting is a small circle of disciples who gather regularly to grow in Christ through honest spiritual conversation, prayer, and Scripture-centered encouragement. It’s not a class where you sit and listen, but a space where everyone shares and everyone grows together.

In the early Methodist movement of the 1700s, these meetings were the heart of spiritual formation. John Wesley organized societies into groups of 10–12 people led by lay leaders who cared for the souls of their group with confidentiality, prayer, and ongoing encouragement. What began as a practical way to structure growing societies quickly revealed a deeper strength: transformation rooted in community, honesty, and accountability under God’s grace. These gatherings are what resulted in the movement we know today as the Methodist Church.
