LIVING Wholeheartedly
AS followers of Jesus
FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD.
The two hundred and fifty-sixth Conference of the Methodist Church in Ireland will meet in Thomas Street Methodist Church in Portadown from Thursday 5th June until Saturday 7th June 2025.
The Ministerial Session will be during the day on Thursday. The Representative Session will begin with the Installation Service for Rev Alan Wardlow at 7.30pm on Thursday. The Ordination Service will take place on the Friday evening at 7.30pm and Conference will end at about 6.30pm on Saturday 7th.
You can watch the representative sessions LIVE or catch up later on our YouTube channel.
Further information including the full programme will be available soon.
As a Connexion we continue to explore what it means to live ‘wholeheartedly as followers of Jesus for the transformation of the world' and at Conference and in the Connexional year ahead, we will focus on how, empowered and filled with the Spirit, we are compelled by God's love to share the Gospel.
Service resources will be available for use on Sunday 8th, so that those at home can also be supported in exploring this theme.
We are expectant and hope-filled for what God will to do in His Church in this year ahead.
