I believe that the Methodists are the most intense about doing good work (although they don't believe that good works are sufficient to lead to salvation). Are there any denominations that believe in doing good works more than the Methodists?

Seventh-day Adventists. Wow! They are now actively involved in virtually every nation. They are international in their Christian service.

Many sects consider good works necessary to Christian living (though not salvation). I don't think the Methodists promote this any more strongly than a whole pack of other sects (including the Roman Catholics, who don't push it any more than the Methodists).

All those who follow the New Testament:
Romans 2:7: "eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, ..."
1 Timothy 5:10
1 Timothy 6:18
Titus 3:8, 14
Hebrews 10:24
James 2
1 Peter 2:12
With love in Christ.

I have seen Methodist get involved in a lot of good works.
When it comes to charity, I believe in helping people around me...locally, rather than finding some poor people in some far corner of the world.
Charity begins at home. You have to help your own family first....then your neighbors and your community...before taking on the world at large.
Too many church groups raise money for overseas charities. They need to focus on their own communities.

This is the problem with religion in general...Doing good works...It's nice that the various Christan denominations do "good works"; however, it's not nice that Christan denominations frequently demand a price for those works. It's called Evangelism/Proselytizing. In order for a person to get help when needed they often need to conform/convert to the belief system that's trying to help them. This form of "good works" is wrong as it has strings attached. PEACE!

The Orthodox Church believes very strongly in doing good works. I agree good works alone do not lead to salvation, but faith without works is a dead faith, you can't be a good Christian with a dead faith.

Yes, the Catholics.
