Experience the culmination of two centuries of unity and progress within The United Methodist Church. The Book of Discipline, our guiding document, serves as a testament to our past and a roadmap for our future.
This essential book outlines the law, doctrine, administration, organizational work, and procedures of The United Methodist Church. Each General Conference amends The Book of Discipline, and the actions of the General Conference are reflected in the quadrennial revision.
Freshly updated to reflect the latest General Conference actions, the 2020/2024 Book of Discipline features a comprehensive list of bishops from our early leaders, Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury, to the 2024 episcopal elections. Additionally, it includes a revised historical statement and an expanded index and is divided into six informative sections:
-
- The Constitution
- General Book of Discipline
- Doctrinal Standards and Our Theological Task
- The Ministry of All Christians
- Social Principles
- Organization and Administration
