    • South Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church

      Jun 1997 - now
      Ordained Elder

      Welcome to the South Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church!This conference is unique in United Methodism. We have a marvelous history comprised of one predominantly African American conference formed in 1866 and one predominantly Anglo conference formed in 1785. The two united in 1972 and continue to witness to God’s love for all persons. We celebrate our distinctiveness, and we are committed to our unity in Christ.We invite you to visit our churches and join with us in being bearers of the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ, so the love and grace of Christ may be made known through us. - Bishop Mary Virgina Taylor Show less
