	United Methodist Church
		The essential doctrines of the United Methodist Church are derived from the broader Methodist tradition from which it emerged.
		The church began to expand rapidly, growing to 200,000 by 1816, because its itinerant circuit riders, and the camp meetings it adopted, were ideally suited to frontier conditions while Methodism's practical and evangelical doctrines appealed to the ordinary American.
