About Us

The Texas Annual Conference is one of the eleven annual (regional) conferences in the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church.

We are comprised of 700 congregations organized into 9 districts across East Texas. We are active in communities in and around Houston, Galveston, Beaumont, Texarkana, Longview, Tyler and College Station – and everywhere in between.

Chances are you know many United Methodists. Our membership of just under 300,000 is spread throughout the region and engages in sharing a love of Christ and common United Methodist values wherever they go.

We have many vibrant, welcoming congregations and ministries that reach out to others to make a difference. Want to know more?
