Global Ministries shares the good news of God’s love by helping to create and strengthen the church in places where Methodism did not previously exist through training, resources and strategies for growth. We help emerging faith communities to make disciples of Jesus Christ and support their goals for joining The United Methodist Church’s connectional system or becoming an autonomous church.
