A Letter from the Bishop Five new districts established for the Oklahoma Conference of the UMC

I am sure you are as weary of the negative news about our conference as I am. And I long for the ...

These are times of great momentum and regeneration of the United Methodist Church, especially in the Oklahoma Conference. In the aftermath of two waves of disaffiliations based on Paragraph 2553 in our Book of Discipline, we’ve lost valued members of our church.
