Our purpose
Vision, Mission & Values
Guided by Scripture, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to the Wesleyan tradition of faith active in love.
Our Vision
To be a vibrant, Spirit-filled community of Marathi-speaking believers who reflect the love of Christ in every aspect of life — worshipping God, growing in faith, and serving our neighbours with compassion and justice.
Our Mission
To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world — by proclaiming the Gospel in the Marathi language, nurturing believers in the Wesleyan tradition, and engaging in holistic ministry that addresses the spiritual, social, and physical needs of our community.
Our Core Values
Faith
We are rooted in the living Word of God and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ for salvation and transformation.
Hope
We live as a people of hope, confident in God's promises and the coming Kingdom of righteousness and peace.
Love
We are called to love God with all our heart and to love our neighbours as ourselves — the greatest commandment.
Service
Following the example of Christ, we serve our community with humility, compassion, and a commitment to justice.
Worship
We gather weekly to offer praise and thanksgiving to God, drawing strength and renewal for our daily lives.
Community
We are one body — diverse in gifts but united in Christ — caring for one another and welcoming all who seek God.
Our Wesleyan Heritage
The Methodist Marathi Church is part of the Methodist Church in India, rooted in the tradition of John Wesley. We hold to the Wesleyan quadrilateral — Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience — as our guide for faith and practice. We believe in prevenient grace, justifying grace, and sanctifying grace, and we are committed to the pursuit of holiness of heart and life.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Matthew 28:19
