We are delighted to share that the final version of the Global Methodist Church's Book of Doctrines and Discipline is now available in English on our website. This foundational document serves as the church's governing polity, offering clear direction and guidance for our congregations as we embrace our mission and future together. A limited number of copies will be published and made available for purchase in the new year. Once they are ready, we will provide details on how to place an order.
Translations Are Underway!
To serve our global community, we are actively translating the Book of Doctrines and Discipline into the official languages of the Global Methodist Church. Producing accurate and high-quality translations is a detailed process that takes time, and we appreciate your patience as we work to make this resource accessible to everyone. Once completed, the translations will be uploaded to the website. Each new translation will be announced on our social media as it becomes available.
Effective Date and Transitional Guidance
Please note that the Book of Doctrines and Discipline will officially take effect on January 1, 2025. Until then, the Transitional Book of Doctrines and Discipline remains in effect and continues to guide our governance. This document is still accessible on our website for reference.
Judicial Practice and Procedures
We are also pleased to announce that the final version of the Judicial Practice and Procedures has been posted to the website. This document, adopted by the General Conference, is now in effect and functions as church law. It complements Part Nine of the Book of Doctrines and Discipline to govern the judicial processes stated therein.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We remain thankful to the Journal Committee for their dedication and hard work on these essential resources. Their tireless efforts reflect the Lord’s continued guidance among us and our shared commitment to spreading scriptural holiness around the world.
We invite you to explore these resources on our website and look forward to sharing more updates as we continue this journey together.
