A United Methodist group has submitted legislation that would dissolve The United Methodist Church and form four new global denominations instead.

Birthing New Methodist Denominations — The New Expressions Worldwide N.E.W. Plan

  • Traditionalist Methodist Church, grounded in preserving traditionalism and biblical inerrancy.
  • Moderate Methodist Church, grounded in personal salvation, conversion, and missions.
  • Progressive Methodist Church, grounded in the social gospel.
  • Liberation Methodist Church, grounded in Gospel-centered, anti-colonial, and intersectional justice that intentionally empowers PoC+Q+T [people of color + queer + trans] people.
