This form collects information required by the Conference. In addition to providing this information at your Charge Conference, you should also include information that should be reported as required by the Book of Doctrine and Discipline.

ithin the pastoral charge, the basic unit in the connectional system in the Global Methodist Church is the Charge Conference. The Charge Conference shall therefore be organized from the church(es) in every pastoral charge and shall meet at least annually. The charge conference shall be the connecting link between the local church and the annual conference, and the general church and shall have general oversight of the church council(s) overall ministry of the local church (¶¶438-439 of the BoDD).

The mission of the Global Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe. The South Georgia Annual Conference serves in this mission as it facilitates the mission of the local church. To facilitate this mission and assist in the healthy function and accountability of the local church, you will find below a streamlined Charge Conference report form requesting the minimal required information by the Annual Conference.

Charge Conference this year has two primary components:

#1 Charge Conference Online Form
#2 Charge Conference In-Person Gathering with Presiding Elder (Individual churches or groups of churches)

CHARGE CONFERENCE ONLINE FORM

The information in this online form MUST be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to your in-person Charge Conference scheduled by your Presiding Elder. After you submit the form, the submitter's and pastor's email in the form will receive an email with a Complete form attachment which you can print for your attendees of your charge conference. Your Presiding Elder will also be notified and provided a copy of your submission for their review.

CHARGE CONFERENCE IN-PERSON GATHERING

Each church will be scheduled for an in-person Charge Conference by your Connectional Community Presiding Elder. At your Charge Conference meeting, copies of the submitted form should be provided to Charge Conference members so they may be informed prior to the appropriate votes required by the BoDD. In addition to providing this information at your Charge Conference, you should also include information that should be reported as required by the Book of Doctrine and Discipline.

At the completion of the Charge Conference session, the appropriate members of the Charge Conference (or their delegates) must sign the Charge Conference Minutes forms (included in your completed Online Form) and will be collected by your Presiding Elder at the end of the Charge Conference.
