The Church exists to:
1. Increase awareness of God's presence and celebrate God's love.
2. Help people to grow and learn as Christians
3. To be a good neighbour to people in need and challenge injustice
4. Make more followers of Jesus Christ
The Methodist Conference agreed to this statement in June 2000. Decisions about policy in the Methodist Church are made together at our Annual Conference. This is held in different parts of the country, and churches in every local district are represented. Methodists regard local churches as being part of a wider 'Connexion' where we support and learn from each other.
There are over 6,000 Methodist Churches in Britain. These churches have a total membership of about 330,000 people.
There are around one million people in Britain who have an active connection with the Methodist Church. There are about 70 million such people across the world.
