About The United Methodist Church

Welcome to the Michigan Conference

The Michigan Conference comprises 600 United Methodist churches across Michigan and represents over 100,000 members and more than 600 clergy members. 

You will find a Michigan United Methodist Church in the largest cities to the smallest towns. With a heart for mission, we are here to serve you!

What inspires us

The purpose of the Michigan Conference is to create disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by equipping our local churches for ministry and by providing a connection for ministry beyond the local church; all for the glory of God.

The Michigan Conference has a main ministry center located in Lansing, seven district offices and professional staff that supports and sustains the w0rk of the local church. Michigan clergy and laypersons also serve on conference boards, commissions and committees to achieve our vision.

A little history

The Michigan Conference is the creation of two former United Methodist annual conferences: the Detroit Conference and the West Michigan Annual Conference.  In June 2015, the two conferences voted overwhelmingly to create one single conference for the Michigan Area.   The Michigan Conference began operating as one community on July 1, 2018 and began legally operating on January 1, 2019.
