From Pastor Dave:
The following information comes from “The 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church”
In December of 1784 the famous Christmas Conference of Methodist Preachers was held in Baltimore at Lovely Lane Chapel. At this gathering the Methodist movement in America was organized becoming the Methodist Episcopal Church. The newly formed denomination published its first Book of Discipline in 1785, held its first General Conference in 1792 and drafted a Constitution in 1808.
