United Methodists Structure & Organization: Overview
United Methodists often joke about the many organizational layers of church life, but, as members of other denominations have been heard to say: “If you want something done, get the Methodists to do it.” Followers of the Wesleys are indeed “methodical” about the ways they approach mission and ministry.
One reason United Methodists are able to accomplish great things is the church’s emphasis on “connectionalism.” It is common to hear United Methodist leaders speak of the denomination as “the connection.” This concept has been central to Methodism from its beginning.
The United Methodist Church, which began as a movement and a loose network of local societies with a mission, has grown into one of the most carefully organized and largest denominations in the world. The United Methodist structure and organization began as a means of accomplishing the mission of spreading Scriptural Holiness over the land. John Wesley recognized the need for an organized system of communication and accountability and developed what he called the “connexion,” which was an interlocking system of classes, societies, and annual conferences.

Aloha and welcome to our website
The West Kauai United Methodist is located in the western most village in the United States, Kekaha, Hawaii.
The people of WKUMC are open and loving. There is a sense of ohana (family) that is felt by member and visitor alike. We embrace all who would worship with us and take seriously our Mission Statement;
"To make disciples for Jesus Christ through Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors."
We consider ourselves to be a Welcoming/Reconciling congregation. We invite you for worship and fellowship whether you are a visitor or a local, E Komo Mai! (You are welcome here)
We celebrate Holy Communion on the first and second Sunday.
We have two worship sites and alternate our weekly worship. On the first, third and fifth Sunday we worship at our Kekaha site and on the second and third Sunday at our Kaumakani site (The Little Church in the Canefield).
