Connectional Council
The Connectional Council serves as the chief missional and administrative body of the Global Methodist Church between sessions of the General Conference. It’s our denominations’ leadership team responsible for helping guide the Church’s direction, implement its vision, and coordinate ministry efforts at the general church level.
The Commission is made up of both clergy and laity from across the connection. The Council is entrusted with important responsibilities ranging from approving the church’s annual budget and evaluating general church ministries to supporting global mission strategy and directing the Connectional Commissions work in alignment with our shared mission.
While its authority is defined by the Book of Doctrines and Discipline and the decisions of the General Conference, the Connectional Council remains accountable to the larger church. It operates with values of transparency, accountability, and a focus on empowering local churches.
Our Connectional Council helps ensure that the work of the Global Methodist Church remains faithful, efficient, and mission-driven; always focused on making disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. For more detailed information, you can read about the Connectional Council in the Book of Doctrines and Discipline ¶807.
