General Conference 2012

 

General Conference 2012 has concluded!

The United Methodist Church’s top legislative body, the General Conference, gathered April 24-May 4 in Tampa, Florida. Nine hundred and eighty-eight delegates from around the world set policy and direction for the church, as well as handled other business. General Conference is the only entity that speaks for the entire United Methodist Church. 

The Commission on the General Conference has selected “Make Disciples of Jesus Christ to Transform the World” as the theme for The United Methodist Church’s 2012 General Conference.

The theme echoes the mission of The United Methodist Church to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world as a way of aligning the General Conference with the denomination’s central mission—so that the conference is not a one-time event, but a part of the ongoing ministry of the church.

When: April 24 - May 4, 2012

Where: Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, FL 33602
