The Wesleyan Quadrilateral Around the World | Bible Lesson | Global Christianity

The Wesleyan Quadrilateral Around the World | Bible Lesson | Global Christianity Gallery Walk | Grades 6–12

Take students on a journey across the globe as they discover how the Wesleyan Quadrilateral is lived out in diverse cultures and communities. In this engaging, project-based lesson, students explore how Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience provide a shared framework for Christian faith while allowing worship, customs, and ministry to reflect the unique cultures of believers around the world.

Working as curators for a traveling exhibition on world Christianity, students research a country where the Wesleyan family of churches is active and design an interactive Global Christianity Gallery Walk. Through maps, cultural examples, worship practices, and stories of faith, students see that while expressions of Christianity may differ from place to place, the foundation of faith remains rooted in Christ.
