Global Methodist

John Wesley sent circuit riders into the countryside and organized believers into class meetings — small groups of eight to twelve, meeting weekly, accountable to each other, formed in holiness. They were not programs. They were communities of formation embedded in specific places, led by lay people, producing transformed lives and transformed communities. That pattern is not outdated. It is precisely what CHI is rebuilding in a new institutional form.

The Methodist tradition gave the world a theology of social holiness — the conviction that personal transformation and community transformation are inseparable, that the sanctification of individuals produces the flourishing of places. That is CHI's operating thesis. The Hall forms people. The people return their formation to the community.

Methodist-affiliated Halls run as Teacher Halls, Health Halls, Theological Halls, and Community Halls — the sectors where Methodist social holiness has historically been most active. CHI provides programs through Houston Christian University, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Southeastern University.

Start a Hall

You have roots in a community and the Wesleyan instinct to build institutions that serve it. The Hall Founder pathway walks you from vision to operating charter.

Become a Tutor

You want to teach in a Methodist-affiliated Hall someone else is building. CHI connects tutors to Halls in their region that share their confessional and formational commitments.

Become a Field Guide

You have spent years — perhaps a decade, perhaps a lifetime — in the Methodist tradition, and you have relational credibility in a specific geography. Field Guides shepherd 15–20 Halls in their region: coaching Directors, carrying the holiness tradition into the Halls that need it, holding the long view. The role is vocational, not contracted. Primary income from elsewhere is a prerequisite.
