The United Methodist Church is organized with a General Conference as its legislative branch; a council of Bishops, somewhat like an executive branch; and a nine-member Judicial Council, the judicial branch. The Church has no single general officer or executive, although the Council of Bishops elects a president who serves for two years.
The heart of our local church ministry is continuing--and extending--Jesus Christ's ministry and outreaching love. Each congregation in the U.S. is part of a district, an administrative program grouping of churches with a full-time superintendent. A charge conference governs each local church, with a church council as the year-round supervisor.
The Norton United Methodist Church is part of the Big Stone Gap District. This video gives a virtual tour of all of the churches in our district.
