 Methodist local preacher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Local preachers have always been required to undergo some form of training and examination - the examination being concerned with their doctrinal orthodoxy as well as with their knowledge of the scriptures and the history and doctrines of the church.
A Methodist local preacher is a lay person who has been accredited by a Methodist church to lead worship on a regular basis.
Before the schism, Wesley had as accredited preachers only a handful of fellow Anglican priests who shared his view of the need to take the gospel to the people where they were.

 Circuit rider (Religious) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He brought the concept of the circuit from English Methodism, where it still exists: UK Methodist churches are grouped in circuits, which typically include a dozen or more churches, and ministers are appointed ("stationed") to the circuit, not to the local church.
Although not moving as frequently as in the past, the average US United Methodist Church pastor will stay at a local church for 2-5 years before being appointed to another charge at the Annual Conference (although technically, every pastor is assigned to a charge every year, it is just usually the same one).
As well as being constantly on the move between the churches in their charge, Methodist ministers were regularly moved between charges, a principal known as itinerancy.
