Wesleyan Holiness Church

The Wesleyan Holiness Church, also known as the Wesleyan Holiness Association of Churches, is a Methodist Christian denomination which describes itself as evangelical protestant and "has its roots in John Wesley's Methodism". The formation of the Wesleyan Holiness Church is a part of the history of Methodism in the United States; it sits within the Holiness movement which emerged in Methodism during the nineteenth century. The church is a schism from the Bible Missionary Church that happened in 1959, the result of perceived overly-lenient views on divorce and remarriage within that group. Congregations that belong to the Wesleyan Holiness Association of Churches joined it, such as that in Portage, which held its first service of worship was held on 18 March 1956. In the UK, the British Isles District has 16 churches. The head office is at New Life Wesleyan Church in Handsworth, Birmingham. This District is associated with the Wesleyan Church and not the same as the denomination which left the Bible Missionary Church.
