Worldwide Regionalization
Worldwide Regionalization is a plan to restructure the United Methodist Church in order to enhance adaptive evangelism, emphasize our denomination’s global nature, and strengthen our connection by prioritizing our mission and ministry. This strategic plan was overwhelmingly endorsed by delegates from around the world at General Conference 2024 and now awaits ratification by our Annual Conferences. At this years Annual Conference, we will be voting to ratify Worldwide regionalization as one of four Constitutional Amendments. On this page, you can find resources about regionalization from the Virginia delegation.Regionalization Recap

Constitutional Amendments
The 2024 General Conference passed several proposed amendments to United Methodist Constitution. These unique pieces of legislation only become official once they are ratified by a two-thirds affirmative vote of the aggregate of members to the annual conferences.
The Virginia Annual Conference will vote on these amendments on Friday afternoon, June 13.
