State of the Church

"What does it mean to be United Methodist?"

Researchers have asked thousands of United Methodists around the world how they view the denomination. Where is God leading the church? How can the denomination do better? The results are compiled in the first phase of the "State of the Church" report. This first-ever report offers insights into the workings of The United Methodist Church, current challenges that it faces and areas for growth.

Compiled by the Martec Group, the report was commissioned by the Connectional Table, a 60-member group that coordinates the mission, ministries and resources of the denomination.
