A conservative Methodist denomination that emerged from divisions within the United Methodist Church has reached a significant membership milestone, officials announced.
The Global Methodist Church, established four years ago during upheaval over LGBTQ+ policies including same-sex marriage and ordination of gay clergy, now includes over 7,000 congregations worldwide.
A representative for the GMC shared with the Christian Post that reaching this benchmark “reflects the faithfulness of God and the willingness of His people to boldly follow the Holy Spirit’s leading and God’s call.”
The denomination formed as the traditional United Methodist Church experienced fractures over its acceptance of homosexual marriage ceremonies and the ordination of LGBTQ+ ministers.
