Fellowship of Independent Methodist Churches

The Fellowship of Independent Methodist Churches (FIMC) is a Methodist denomination aligned with the conservative holiness movement that is based in the British Isles, with missions around the world.

[1] The history of the Fellowship of Independent Methodist Churches is a part of the larger history of Methodism in the British Isles, with the connexion forming as the result of a number of congregations departing both the Methodist Church in Ireland and the Free Methodist Church in 1973 due to what they perceived as the rise of Modernism in those denominations.

[2][3][4] The connexion is theologically conservative, aiming to uphold the original ethos of early Methodism.

[6] The Fellowship of Independent Methodist Churches adheres to Wesleyan theology, teaching two dominical sacraments, Baptism and Holy Communion, in addition to observing the ordinance of headcovering.

[8][9] A periodical called The Alert is regularly published by the Fellowship of Independent Methodist Churches.
