WHO ARE WE

WESLEY GUILD
Wesley Guild is an organisation in the Methodist church that brings the youth and the young at heart together to understand each other, discuss issues and also to grow spiritually and help others.
WESLEY GUILD HAS FOUR C's 
CONCECRATION
Learning to dedicate our lives to Christ and commit ourselves to His services.
This would be done by : --Music (praise and worship, etc)--Prayer (public & private prayer, praying for people, etc)--Reading the Bible and relevant books --Evangelism (spreading the Word, preaching…) --Living a devotional life Silence before God (Obeying God’s will)--Fasting ( alone or as a group but its vital for Guilders)

CREATIVITY
NB: The C was changed to creativity because the Guilders tended to concentrate on cultural issues only. The aim is to liberate our intellect, giving and sharing new ideas and learning to understand ourselves in this planet. This gives us an opportunity be creative and also explore things about ourselves and our religion. This is done through debates workshops, special events so on. It’s about creative ideas keeping in mind our faith.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Committing ourselves to the well being of others at all levels of need. Developing our communities starting with the church community in any way spiritually, academically so on. These can be done by :-- projects, visits ---talks--- teaching sharing--- feeding the hungry--- help the needy.

COMRADESHIP
It encourages fellowship amongst the Guilders themselves first and the youth inside or outside the church. Young people are flexible, so we play games, watch movies, have talkshows. Guild is a family, its aim is to build relationships with everyone, committing ourselves to one another and our spiritual growth. Games, movies, camps, talkshows etc are just means not the end so Guilders must move beyond them.
