Tools for Wesleyan preaching, the way Wesley would have done it.

Free-grace theology in the research engine. Sanctification as process. Wesleyan distinctives — prevenient grace, Christian perfection, social holiness — handled with care, not theological flattening.

— Built for your traditionThe Wesleyan quadrilateral in the research engine.

Scripture, tradition, reason, experience — Wesley's framework for theological reflection. The research agent works in all four registers, drawing on Wesley's own sermons, the standard sermons, and the major Wesleyan theologians (Outler, Maddox, Collins, Wynkoop). Free-grace theology is not optional; it's the lens.

— Feature 01

Free-grace research lens

Atonement passages get read in Wesleyan-Arminian categories where the text invites it — universal atonement, prevenient grace, perseverance as conditional. Not jammed into Reformed scaffolding.

— Feature 02

Wesley's sermons in the corpus

Wesley's 44 standard sermons and his New Testament Notes are part of the research stack. The research agent draws from them by default for Wesleyan-tradition pastors.

— Feature 03

Lectionary integration (RCL + UMC)

If you preach the lectionary, the calendar handles the year automatically. Revised Common Lectionary supported; UMC-specific variants flagged.

— Common questionsWhat Wesleyan / Methodist pastors ask before they try Pastor Center

Does it handle Wesleyan-Arminian theology distinctly?
Yes. The Wesleyan research agent prompts with free-grace, prevenient grace, and process-sanctification categories. Reformed and Wesleyan readings of contested texts get presented side-by-side, with the Wesleyan reading developed properly.
Does Pastor Center work with the Revised Common Lectionary?
Yes. Every Sunday of the RCL year is mapped, with all four readings (OT, Psalm, Epistle, Gospel) surfaced. Liturgical season, color, and propers handled.
Can I integrate with the UMC connectional structure?
Yes — for sermon prep and ministry workflow at the local-church level. We don't replace UMC denominational data systems; we make local-church work faster and more pastoral.
Does the research engine respect the social-holiness emphasis?
Yes. Application sections on social texts (justice, poverty, race, peace) get treated with the seriousness Wesley would have — without flattening into either left or right contemporary categories.
