The Christmas Covenant Team have been engaged in great grassroots organising and education over the past 3 years that has garnered the respect and support for regionalization from many United Methodists. This work has borne fruit because institutions and leaders of our church has now embraced the values and importance of regionalization for the future of The United Methodist Church.

In 2023, the Christmas Covenant Team collaborated with the Standing Committee on Central Conference Matters and the Connectional Table to produce the “Worlwide Regionalization” legislation submitted to General Conference by the Standing Committee on Central Conference Matters.

Worldwide Regionalization is the updated version of the Christmas Covenant. The Christmas Covenant Team has voted to support Worldwide Regionalization.
