The Wesleyan Church does not bind all members to a specific eschatological position regarding the millennium. While premillennialism (the belief that Christ will return before a literal thousand-year reign) has historically been more common among Wesleyans, amillennialism (the interpretation of the thousand years as a symbolic period representing the current church age) is also held by many Wesleyans.

The diversity of opinion on this matter is permitted within the denomination, as the church prioritizes other doctrines and the literal return of Christ while allowing freedom on the specific timing of end-times events. The Discipline does not contain an official statement prescribing which millennial view all members must hold. What unites Wesleyans is the affirmation of Christ's literal return, the bodily resurrection of all people, and God's ultimate triumph over evil.
