The Global Relationships Team

Global Relationships facilitates, maintains and develops the relationships between Partner Churches throughout the world and the Methodist Church in Britain. 

In doing so we play our part in:-

• transforming the world through God's love,
• establishing a confident church that motivates to share God's love and
• is enabling people to be part of a worldwide family.

We do this through people, resources and prayer by the:-

• movement and communication of people across cultures, countries and continents to work alongside, share and experience the 'other', and to learn and develop from such encounters
• sharing of financial resources to equip churches for mission, ministry and church growth. Give to the World Mission Fund
• production and sharing of resources which 'tell the story' to enable informed prayer and learning of places and people where a first-hand encounter is not possible.

The Global Relationships team is part of the Connexional team and works to keep the Methodist Church in Britain connected with its global partners and run programmes that enable people to share in God's mission. To get in touch with the team please email: gr.admin@methodistchurch.org.uk
