Conference (United Methodist Conference)

A United Methodist Conference is a regional gathering of pastors, church leaders, and members within a specific geographic area. It functions as a decision-making body that oversees church ministries, resources, and policy implementation. The conference provides opportunities for worship, collaboration, and strategic planning to strengthen and support local churches. It also addresses issues related to clergy appointments, church growth, and mission initiatives. Essentially, it's a structured forum for communal leadership and coordination within the United Methodist Church, ensuring that regional churches work together in alignment with the broader denomination's mission and values.
