Features MS UMC Conference

The Mississippi Annual Conference is part of The United Methodist Church.
With more than 12 million members worldwide, The United Methodist Church is governed by a General Conference that meets every four years.
The annual and central conferences elect delegates to the General Conference.
The resident bishop is the presiding officer of the annual conference.
The Mississippi Conference is divided into 11 districts, and each district is administered by a district superintendent in consultation with the bishop.
The Mississippi Conference meets annually, usually in June, for its regular business session.
An equal number of clergy members and lay members from the conference meet together to worship, celebrate the previous year’s ministries and set a course for the coming year.
At the conclusion of each conference, the bishop announces the clergy appointments, or assignments.We invite you to download our FREE app to get connected with our community, get engaged, stay informed through push notifications and so much more!
