The Work of Our General Conference Delegates


Watch the Informational Webinar presented by our delegation on April 9.

As most United Methodists are aware, the scheduled meeting of the General Conference (the highest legislative body in The United Methodist Church) was postponed in 2020 due to Covid restrictions. Typically, delegates gather from around the world every four years to make decisions on behalf of the denomination. 

Legislation that was to be considered in 2020, along with petitions submitted in 2023 for this meeting, will be taken up at the session to be held in Charlotte, NC, from April 23 – May 3, 2024.

Delegates attending this General Conference were initially elected to attend the 2020 session.

The potential number of voting delegates from around the world is 862 for the 2024 session, 12 are from the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference (TWK).
