North Alabama Conference of the Global Methodist Church

The North Alabama Conference of the Global Methodist Church is a regional unit of the Global Methodist Church in the process of formation. The Global Methodist Church is a Protestant denomination launched on May 1, 2022, to provide an organization for congregations wishing to leave the United Methodist Church for a more conservative body.
