The South Georgia Conference, created in 1866 by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, began at a time of great change in the region. This updated edition of the History of the South Georgia Conference 1866 – 2018 traces the roots of Georgia Methodism from John Wesley’s residence in Savannah in 1736 through present day. The subsequent struggles, triumphs, decisions, and concerns can all be found within these pages.

The South Georgia Conference’s 610 active churches come alive with photos and histories documented by each church historian and now compiled within this second edition of History.
