Participating Methodist Denominations
Welcome to the endorsement application portal for the Methodist churches belonging to the Pan-Methodist Commission. Only members of a denomination's own clergy are eligible for endorsement.
The following constituent members of the Pan Methodist Commission are currently accepting applications for endorsement through this site:
- United Methodist Church
Rev. Mitchell Lewis, Endorsing Agent - Christian Methodist Episcopal Church
Bishop Teresa Jefferson-Snorton, Endorsing Agent
Once the application is submitted and complete, it will be forwarded to the respective denominational endorsing agent for a decision.
Each endorsing body applies its own procedures and policies in making endorsement decisions. A complete application does not guarantee approval.
Other endorsing agents include:
- African Methodist Episcopal Church
Bishop Jeffrey N. Leath, Endorsing Agent - African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
Dr. Vergel Lattimore, Endorsing Agent
Dr. Elvin Sadler, Coordinator - African Union Methodist Protestant
- Union American Methodist Episcopal Church
