WELCOME TO
THE BAHAMAS CONFERENCE
OF THE METHODIST
CHURCH
The Methodist Church of the Bahamas was formed in
July 1993 by an act of
the Bahamas Parliament. For over 200 years…since 1800,
our church was a part of the British Methodist Mission.
In 1968 (one year later than the rest of the Caribbean
Districts), The Bahamas District of Methodist Churches
joined the Methodist Church in the Caribbean and the
Americas (MCCA). In 1967 the Methodist Churches in The Caribbean and some
countries in Central America had been granted autonomy
by the British Methodist Conference. In 1990, The
Bahamas District of the Methodist Church passed a
Resolution in its January District Synod to move for
self governance and autonomy. This was realized in
1993.
The BCMC is now comprised
of 34 churches throughout the major islands of the
Bahamas. In addition, the Conference has
two Schools, A Children’s Home, a Home for Older
Persons, Camp Symonette in Eleuthera and the Andros
Mission – Camp Make Peace in Andros.
