2026 Wesley Pilgrimage | July 6–16, 2026 | Salisbury, England
Ready to deepen your faith while traveling through the heart of Wesleyan history? Join us on the 2026 Wesley Pilgrimage – a life-changing, spiritually rich experience designed for both lay and clergy leaders who want to connect deeply with their faith and the Methodist story.
Only 36 spots are available, and this pilgrimage sells out every year. This year’s trip leadership includes Rev. Steve Manskar, Rev. Dr. Paul Chilcote, and Rev. Dr Ashlee Alley Crawford among others. This experience goes beyond a regular trip or standard continuing educational opportunity, it is a spiritual pilgrimage combined with learning, fellowship, and self-reflection.
Why Join the Wesley Pilgrimage?
For eleven days and ten nights, walk the same paths that John and Charles Wesley once did. You’ll journey through key locations that sparked the Methodist revival, guided by Wesleyan scholars and fellow ministry leaders:
- Learn and worship where the Wesleys encountered God – in Epworth, Oxford, Bristol, London, and Salisbury.
- Forge new friendships with pilgrims who share your passion for discipleship and transformation.
- Reignite your calling through integrated Wesleyan theology, prayer, and reflection.
- Return inspired, equipped, and renewed in your leadership.
This pilgrimage is more than travel – it’s an invitation to rediscover your purpose and passion in ministry.
Pilgrimage Highlights Include:
- Epworth: The Wesley brothers’ birthplace
- Oxford & Bristol: Where the movement began
- London: The heart of early Methodism
- Salisbury: A vibrant congregation once served by Francis Asbury and your home base for the journey
Bonus: This pilgrimage qualifies for 3 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for clergy and ministry professionals!
