The national membership of these “churches” has dwindled to nothing.
With 7.3 million members in the US, the UMC is the second largest Protestant church in the country.
Still not true of Methodism. The United Methodist Church is still the 2nd largest Protestant denomination in the USA behind Southern Baptist...2013 numbers.
It is true, though, that it’s dying. It’s membership is primarily over 55 and some forecasts have it irrelevant in 2050. In Africa, however, it is growing, AND it is quite conservative.
