Global Methodist Church

It started with 17 churches.

In May 2022, a small group of congregations formally launched a new denomination. They called it the Global Methodist Church.

Seventeen congregations. A new name. A deep conviction that Wesleyan Christianity needed a fresh expression rooted in doctrinal integrity of the historic Christian faith and the authority of Scripture.

Four years later, according to the denomination’s official reports, the GMC now includes more than 7,000 congregations and over 4,500 pastors spread across 48 Annual Conferences located in the United States, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.

The GMC’s vision is clear: to make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe — worshiping passionately, loving extravagantly, and witnessing boldly.

Here’s the beautiful thing about the worldwide Wesleyan Methodist family: even when traditions, structures, and stories differ, we are still connected by a shared desire to share the good news of Jesus Christ with people all around the world.

This is undeniably a community of people who love Jesus, take Wesleyan doctrine seriously, and are growing at a remarkable pace across the globe.

A Prayer for the Global Methodist Church

Gracious God, we lift up the Global Methodist Church to You. We thank You for those who gather each week to worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. Give wisdom, humility, and discernment to their pastors and leaders as they guide this expanding church. Bless the Annual Conferences across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and beyond. May the gospel take deep root in every community they serve. Where there is pain from the separations that gave rise to this denomination, bring Your healing. And as this young church continues to take shape, may it be defined not by what it left, but by what it is becoming: a community of grace, holiness, and transforming love. Unite the entire Wesleyan Methodist family, and may all our efforts serve only Your glory. Amen.
