Holy Club

The Holy Club was a small group of students at Oxford University in the 1730s, including John Wesley, who sought to deepen their Christian faith through disciplined practices like prayer, fasting, and charitable work. They aimed to live more sanctified lives and grow spiritually. Their commitment to personal holiness and organized study influenced the Methodist movement, emphasizing personal faith and social responsibility. The Holy Club's disciplined approach to spirituality helped shape modern Methodist beliefs and inspired broader movements focused on faith in action.
