Sacraments & Ordinances

The Wesleyan Church practices two sacraments or ordinances: baptism and the Lord's Supper. Both are understood as means of grace—channels through which God communicates grace to believers—but not as automatic vehicles of grace apart from faith. Baptism is the outward sign of inward grace, a public profession of faith and identification with Christ's death and resurrection.

The church does not prescribe a single mode of baptism; sprinkling, pouring, and immersion are all recognized as valid. Infants may be dedicated to the Lord in public ceremony, though baptism proper is administered to believing disciples. The Lord's Supper is celebrated in remembrance of Christ's sacrificial death and is understood as both a memorial and a means through which believers experience spiritual presence of Christ. It is not a propitiatory sacrifice but a grateful commemoration. The church practices open or believer communion, welcoming all who have faith in Christ.
