Governance Board

The Governance Board of the Methodist Church operates under the delegated authority of Conference to act as the body responsible for the day-to-day control, direction, administration and management of the affairs of the Church.

The Governance Board is answerable in all things to Conference and shall report annually to Conference on the conduct of its affairs.

Leading us toward structure that better supports mission today.

The Working Group on Governance Reform was set up in 2018 to examine the national-level governance structures of the Church. In December 2020, General Committee, acting as Conference 2020, voted to accept the report and recommendations of the Working Group. These recommendations came before Conference 2021 and were approved. Conference members were hence asked to vote on members to the new governance board from the list of nominees which was circulated in advance of Conference proceedings.
