2026 GMC General Conference
Fellowship, Worship, and Decision-Making
The Global Methodist Church General Conference begins August 30 in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing together clergy and lay delegates from around the world to share in fellowship, worship, and decision-making as they shape the future of the Global Methodist Church.
The General Conference aims to facilitate dialogue on critical issues, provide spiritual renewal, foster collaboration among attendees, and ensure transparent governance. It serves as a vital time for prayer, worship, and discerning God’s will together as a global church.
This historic gathering marks the first time the denomination’s General Conference will be held on the African continent, a powerful affirmation of the Global Methodist Church’s commitment to being a truly global movement. Pastor Wendy will be attending the conference as a delegate and will be out of the office August 27–September 8. Pastor Emeritus Sharon Sabom will also be attending the Conference. While our pastors are away, Pastor Joyce Dunne, a friend of Pastor Wendy’s parents, will lead worship services on Aug 30 and Sept 6.
The church office will remain open during this time for anyone who needs assistance or has questions about church-related matters. For pastoral assistance, you may also contact the church office, and we will be happy to help connect you with the appropriate support.

Join Us In Prayer
As we follow along with the General Conference in Johannesburg, we can also join with churches around the world in prayer. The General Conference has provided a 14-Day Prayer Guide to help us intentionally pray for our delegates, church leaders, and the important conversations and decisions ahead. We invite you to use the guide and join us in seeking God’s wisdom, guidance, unity, and presence as our global church gathers to discern His will for the future of the GMC.
