General Conference is a meeting that happens every four years in the United Methodist Church, and it is the only body that speaks and makes official decisions for the denomination that extends to all areas of the Unite
d States and across a large portion of the rest of the world. It is composed of a group of clergy and lay delegates from all over who will be coming together in Portland, Oregon to make some very important decisions that will have a direct impact on our denomination for years to come.
