Our History :

History is important ... by it we learn who we are, where we came from, and, in some sense, where we are headed.  Our interest in history focuses not so much on our denomination, but on the spirit behind the Methodist movement.  Forester UMC is a result of the rich tradition known as Methodism, a movement founded in 1729 by English college students, most notably John and Charles Wesley.  Their desire was not to start a branch of the church, but to experience genuine Christianity in their own lives - as revealed in the Bible.
