GENERAL CONFERENCE

Nearly 800 delegates from across the worldwide United Methodist Church gathered in Charlotte, North Carolina April 23 – May 3 for the postponed 2020 General Conference, which couldn’t meet because of the COVID-19 pandemic. General Conference is the top policy-making body of The United Methodist Church. The assembly meets at the beginning of each quadrennium to consider revisions to church law, adopt resolutions on current moral, social, public policy, and economic issues, and approve plans and budgets for church-wide programs for the next four years.
