FAQ
Who is this for?
Metanoia is for young adults leaders, ages 18-35, in the Wesleyan Methodist tradition. It includes leaders from any and every network or denomination claiming roots in the Wesleyan movement (Methodist, Free Methodist, Wesleyan, Salvation Army, Holiness, Nazarene, etc).
How can I participate?
We believe that Metanoia participants don’t just register to join, they are instead SENT by their local church, conference, network, or denomination. So, participating at Metanoia begins with having a conversation with your sending leader(s).
What should I expect?
Metanoia is a unique and exciting multi-cultural, international gathering. Consequently, you should expect to meet other leaders from all over the world. Every day will follow a similar pattern:
- Morning-Early Afternoon: teaching and workshop sessions
- Mid-late Afternoon: time for connection, reflection, and leisure
- Evening: worship and celebration
Teachers, presenters and preachers are invited from different ministry and cultural backgrounds, focusing on themes such as faith-sharing, discernment of call, cross-cultural mission, Christian leadership, etc.
As a bonus, about half-way through the gathering, participants enjoy a fun excursion day, included as part of the experience.
What will it cost?
The registration fee includes room, meals, materials, fun-day activities, and participation in all sessions with speakers from around the world.
Please note that you are responsible for your travel expenses. WME may arrange for transportation between the airport/bus station and the retreat center, but you will be responsible to get to the event’s location.

Since 1980, World Methodist Evangelism has empowered young leaders to live as grace filled, faith sharing, disciples of Jesus Christ. Between 1980 and 2010, over 6,500 young people, from 60 countries have been a part of our International Christian Youth Conferences on Evangelism (ICYCE). These transformative experiences have taken place in England (1980), Bahamas (1983), Australia (1987), Mexico (1990), Germany (1994), United States (1998), Northern Ireland (2002), Brazil (2005), and Korea (2010).
In 2018, building on the strength of ICYCE and emphasizing the importance of spiritual transformation, over 100 young people from over 20 countries gathered in Costa Rica to launch Metanoia.
