How many Methodists are there world wide?

Answer 1

The United Methodist Church is the largest Methodist denomination.

In 2005, there were 7.9 million laypersons, as reported by General Council on Finance and Administration of The United Methodist Church.

The February 2008 U.S. Religious Landscape Survey conducted by The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that 5.4% of Americans are of the mainline Methodist tradition (this designation would include persons who identified themselves as Methodist or as a member of a particular Methodist denomination). This percentage does not include Methodists who are not considered mainline, such as the Free Methodist Church, a church of the Wesleyan movement, or a self-identified "evangelical Methodist." 5.1% of Americans are United Methodist. 0.6% of all Americans identify as Methodist in the Historically Black Tradition.

Altogether, 6.2% of the adult population are Methodist (of all kinds). This composes 12.1% of all Protestants.

Answer 2

roughly 70 million world wide but the number of followers has been decreasing especially in North America, because people are leaving the oldchurches to join

theologically conservative denominations.

Answer 3

There are over 11 million members of the world-wide Methodist movement. There are over 8 million in the United States and about 350,000 in the UK. They are growing in Africa with over 2 million members now. There used to be over 10 million Methodists in the United States but they, like the other liberal, main-line denominations, lost out to the fundanamentalists and mega churches that are popping up everywhere! There is a distinct possibility that the British Methodists and the Church of England will in the next 10 years reunite as one church. John Wesley would be so happy to see that!
