Typically, disputes within United Methodist congregations are settled by reference to the Book of Discipline, guidance from the pastor and/or bishop, and by vote of the members.

Disputes within a United Methodist congregation are typically resolved through a process of mediation and consultation within the church. This may involve meetings with the parties involved, the pastor, and other church leaders to discuss the issue and seek resolution. If necessary, a formal complaint process may be initiated, ultimately leading to a decision by the church's administrative body or the intervention of the district superintendent. The aim is to find a peaceful resolution that aligns with the teachings and values of the United Methodist Church.
