The 2024 General Conference of the United Methodist Church will meet on April 23 to May 3 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC. 864 clergy and lay delegates from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America will gather to revise and amend The Book of Discipline, The Book of Resolutions, and other official documents that guide our church. General Conference is the only body in the United Methodist Church that can set official policy and speak for the denomination. General Conference meets every four years. Delayed by the pandemic, the General Conference scheduled for 2020 will finally take place this month. Our North Carolina Conference has 16 delegates and four alternates attending the General Conference. Please pray for the Lord to guide the delegates as they make decisions affecting every church. United Methodist News Service will be covering the sessions of the 2024 General Conference. The latest information about General Conference, the answers to frequently asked questions, and information about the NC Conference delegation may be found at nccumc.org/gc/.
