When a United Methodist minister retires, he or she is called a superannuate minister. His/her status with the Annual Conference, of which he or she is a member, remains unchanged. These ministers' titles do not change. So long as they remain ministers in good standing, they remain members of the Annual Conference (not a member of a local church) until their death. Then their names are listed among the deceased in the annual Journal of the Conference. At death, their graves are marked by the Board of Archives and History as having been an effective member of the annual conference.

How do you address preacher of Methodist church?

A "preacher" is not the correct word in describing a United Methodist clergyman. Preaching is just one aspect of what a minister does. If the minister has a doctorate, you would address him Dr. such and such or you can say Rev so and so or "Rev. Dr. If him has a master's, you would address him or her as "Rev" or even "Pastor". Most United Methodist pastors do not like to be address as a preacher. Always keep in mind, that the UMC is a direct offshoot of the Church of England, and that the founder, Rt. Rev John Wesley, was a "high church" Anglican Priest till he died. There was a time when Methodist clergy were very evangelical and wouldn't mind the term "preacher", but that has changed dramatically over the last 100 years!
