Discipleship Ministries was given the primary responsibility for the support of receiving, nurturing and caring ministries of congregations in The United Methodist Church.

The United Methodist Church (UMC) is a mainline Protestant denomination, and a major part of Methodism.

In the 19th century, its main predecessor—the Methodist Church—was a leader in Evangelicalism.

It was founded in 1968 in Dallas, Texas, United States, by union of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church.

The UMC traces its roots back to the revival movement of John and Charles Wesley in England as well as the Great Awakening in the United States.

As such, the church's theological orientation is decidedly Wesleyan.

It embraces both liturgical and evangelical elements.

It has a connectional polity, a typical feature of a number of Methodist denominations.

A local church is a Christian religious organization or community that meets in a particular location.

Many are formally organized, with constitutions and by-laws, maintain offices, are served by clergy or lay leaders, and, in nations where this is permissible, often seek non-profit corporate status.
