A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE GLOBAL METHODIST CHURCH ✨

With overwhelming support, the 2026 General Conference has OFFICIALLY ADOPTED the Articles of Faith, affirming our Wesleyan heritage and establishing a shared expression of the faith that unites us in Jesus Christ.

More details, including the full adopted language, will be released soon.

Prayers and appreciation for our bishops leaving active service. Bishop Jeff Greenway, also our current conference superintendent, is stepping away from his Bishop role this year.

As the hour grew late in Johannesburg, the Global Methodist Church gathered in the ballroom of the Sandton Convention Centre, rose, and sang “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” together. Only then, with the room settled into gratitude, did the General Conference turn to the evening's purpose — to hono...
