We are also registered as an International NGO by the Uganda NGO Bureau, with our headquarters in Jinja City.
Our polity, discipline, and doctrine are guided by the GMC Book of Discipline and Doctrine from the USA, which provides oversight for all local churches operating within various conferences. While maintaining this framework, our structure encourages partnerships—both between conferences and among local and international churches—to strengthen the body of Christ and enhance the impact of ministry and community services.
All Grace Methodist Church local congregations are Gospel-driven, focused on evangelism, discipleship, and teaching the Word of God (Matthew 28:20). Every new member is trained according to the GMC’s principles, ensuring that even small congregations operate in alignment with global Methodist doctrine while remaining relevant and culturally grounded.
Our ministry emphasizes the spiritual health of the local church, encouraging small congregations to establish strong relationships with the Lord before growing in size. Membership in the GMC is essential, as it aligns the church with a broader global fellowship, irrespective of the congregation’s size. This approach ensures that even the smallest gatherings—whether in homes or rented spaces—are part of a larger, God-centered community.
Core Values of Our Congregations
-
Love: We cultivate a church where members genuinely love one another.
-
Trust: We build communities where members trust each other in every aspect of ministry and fellowship.
-
Respect: We foster an environment of mutual respect among all members.
-
Care: We promote a caring culture, reflecting the fellowship of the early church in Acts.
At Grace Methodist Church, starting small is not a setback; it is a step forward. By joining the GMC, congregations, no matter how humble their beginnings, are connected to a global fellowship committed to building disciples, serving communities, and advancing God’s Kingdom.
