Kingdom Advancement

A COMMISSION OF THE GLOBAL METHODIST CHURCH

About Our Commission

The Kingdom Advancement Commission equips and supports local churches, annual conferences and the General Church in fulfilling the mission of the Global Methodist Church. Given its broad scope the Commission operates through three highly focused teams:

  • Church Multiplication and Evangelism: spreading the Gospel and planting new disciple-making congregations.

  • Missions Mobilization and Unreached People Groups: empowering individuals and churches to engage in local and global mission, including the reaching of unreached people groups.

  • Disaster Response: mobilizing and resourcing a compassionate Christ-like response to natural and humanitarian disasters.

Together, these areas reflect the Global Methodist Church’s commitment to advancing the Kingdom of God.

Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on Earth
— John Wesley
