John Wesley was born on June 28, 1703, in the small village of Epworth in Lincolnshire, England. He was the fifteenth of nineteen children born to Samuel Wesley, a minister in the Church of England, and his wife Susanna Annesley. His parents were children of clergy and had a broader understanding of the Church beyond the Church of England. Samuel Wesley, his grandfather, and father both served as ministers in the Church of England. While not a great scholar or poet, Samuel did publish a commentary on the Book of Job, and most of his writings were lost in a fire at Epworth rectory. One of his hymns, "Behold the Savior of Mankind," is included in The United Methodist Hymnal (#293).

John Wesley was of small stature but had dark brown hair and a disciplined devotion to the Bible, which captivated many. Epworth, where Wesley was born and raised, had its share of unruly residents who sometimes set fire to Samuel Wesley's crops or even stabbed his cows.
