The Global Methodist Church, organized in 2020 now has:
-- 7,250 congregations
-- 55 Annual Conferences
-- 6 Continents (all but Antarctica have a GMC church/presence).
-- 47 US States have local churches (not yet fully chartered in Rhode Island, Wyoming or Idaho)
-- Numerous developing Annual Conferences, Church Plants and extensions
-- Pictured below are our Bishops (& some spouses) serving effective November 1, 2026 for the next six years. We have bishops, both male and female below who came from from Russia (Europe), Liberia (Africa), Asia (the Phillipines and Korea) and the Americas (United States.)

Our passion is to share Jesus Christ: Son of God, Savior... the Way, the Truth and the Life... and see souls saved and lives discipled and transformed! May God help us in this endeavor.
