OUR ORGANIZATION |
||
| The Primitive Methodist Church is congregational in government. Each church administers its own affairs under the guidelines set forth for them in the Conference “Discipline”. | Each congregation elects its own leaders and pastor. Pastors are selected from a list approved by the Primitive Methodist Conference. | |
| Each Church operates under the spiritual leadership of the Pastor. A “Station Steward” is elected annually to assist the Pastor, and to coordinate the activities of the Church in his absence. | ||
| The Quarterly Conference is the highest official body of the local church. It is the governing body to which all organizations, boards, etc., are responsible. It administrates mainly the spiritual activities, delegating others, such as financial, social, etc., to boards, organizations, and committees. | ||
| The churches of a geographical area form a District, under the supervision of a District Superintendent. Delegates from each District meet annually to receive and compile Church reports for the annual Conference Meeting. Each District holds a Missionary and Christian Education Convention, and assists the Churches in its area. | ||
| A delegate is elected by each church to represent the Church at the annual Conference to conduct the business of the Denomination. At this Conference, reports from the Districts, Boards, and various Committees are received, and programs are instituted to promote the growth of the Primitive Methodist Church. | ||
| A President is elected
by Conference to preside at Conference. Throughout the year he has the responsibility of coordinating the work of Conference,
Boards, and Committees. The headquarters of the Primitive Methodist Church is located at the home of the president. Rev. Kerry R. Ritts 723 Preston Lane Hatboro, PA 19040-2321 (215)675-1576 e-mail: revkrr@aol.com | ||
