Free Methodists live out their faith on nearly every continent and the movement has doubled in the past six years to over 1 million strong.
A fresh articulation of the values and mission of the Free Methodist Church can be found in the Free Methodist Way.
Carl Brannon has been the Superintendent of the North Central Conference since 2020. He and his wife, Kim, live in Janesville, Wisconsin.
In the North Central Conference, we celebrate our diversity with ministry in rural, urban, and suburban contexts, worshiping with styles and mission appropriate for each local culture and setting.
We currently have churches that worship in Spanish, Nepali, and Swahili, in addition to our many English-speaking congregations. In the NCC, we eagerly seek new opportunities and new locations for greater kingdom impact in the North Central region of the United States.
The North Central Conference exists to resource and empower local pastors and churches.
We believe the Holy Spirit is the one who ignites movement and empowers the church.
We are determined that the call of the church is to develop mature disciples who make disciples who then make disciples.
We equip our leaders so that they can develop other leaders who serve our communities and plant new churches.
We operate under the conviction that collaboration and strategic networks strengthen the body of Christ and create healthy ministries.
Our Values
We embrace wholeheartedly the vision of our denominational leaders as we increasingly become a healthy biblical community of holy people, multiplying disciples, leaders, groups and churches.
A healthy church is a praying, worshiping, discipling, evangelizing, multiplying, culture-engaging, global-missions minded and purpose-driven congregation.
