2026 General Conference

The future of our faith—together in 2026.

August 30-September 5, 2026

Sandton Convention Centre

Johannesburg, South Africa

Join us as we gather clergy and laity from around the world to share in fellowship, worship, and decision-making as we shape the future of the Global Methodist Church. The GMC General Conference unites clergy and lay delegates worldwide for prayer, worship, and decision-making. It serves as a vital time for spiritual renewal and discerning God’s will together.


This historic decision marks the first time the denomination’s General Conference will be held on the African continent. It is a powerful affirmation of the Global Methodist Church’s commitment to being a truly global movement. 

The General Conference aims to: 

  • Facilitate dialogue on critical issues. 
  • Provide spiritual renewal. 
  • Foster collaboration among attendees. 
  • Ensure transparent governance. 


The 2026 event theme reflects the essence of Psalm 29:2 and Psalm 96:9, calling all to worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and tremble before Him in splendor.
