There are millions of persons around the world who identify as  Methodist and participate in numerous denominations.

This website presents a few basic concepts articulated by the Founder of the Methodist societies,  John Wesley in the 1700's in England.  Historical Methodism is debatable, but the means of grace, the way people receive the graces of prevenient grace, justifying grace, sanctifying grace, perfecting grace, and glorifying grace is common among Methodist from most every denomination.The small group programs that are recommended are offered in numerous Methodist churches worldwide and attendance should be free of charge.
