The Global Methodist Church is a Protestant conservative Wesleyan denomination of Christianity that split from the United Methodist Church on May 1, 2022.[1]
Origins
The Global Methodist Church split from the United Methodist Church as a result of the latter’s official stance on homosexuality and having homosexuals be allowed to serve as pastors and preachers within the church. Consequently, the United Methodist Church has lost over 7,600 church congregations in favor of the more conservative Global Methodist Church.[2] [3]
