What are Global Partnerships?

Global partnerships is a distinctive missional priority of the Global Methodist Church as we recognize and deploy the gifts and contributions of each local church and conference across the world, working as partners in the Gospel with equal voice and leadership. We are intentionally connecting churches from different regions of the world who develop mutually rewarding relationships to share the Gospel and to grow God’s kingdom globally. I recently heard someone share that what is commonly referred to as “The Great Commission” (Matthew 28:19- 20, Go and make disciples of all nations…) could be called “The Global Commission” as it is a vision and mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ across the planet. Our approach to global partnerships is personal, not institutional. We long to see every church intimately connected to at least one other church elsewhere in the world so that we develop deep personal relationships, learn from followers of Christ in different cultures, and share in one another’s ministries, supporting one another in prayer, and combining the gifts entrusted to us by God.
