Conferences Commission

The Conferences Commission exists to support the strategic growth and organization of the Global Methodist Church around the world. It makes recommendations to the Assembly of Bishops, the Connectional Council and the General Conference regarding the creation, structure, or modification of annual conferences. 

Guided by a global missional vision, the commission works to identify regions where the establishment of new conferences can strengthen the Church’s witness and ministry. It sets criteria for launching conferences—including geographic scope, number of congregations, financial stability, and appropriate size—and builds upon proven processes to ensure healthy, sustainable growth. The commission also assists in identifying when existing conferences are ready to multiply, further expanding the Church’s reach and effectiveness.
