Rio Texas Annual Conference

The Rio Texas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church

The United Methodists of The Rio Texas Conference are focused on reaching out to the people of South Texas. Some of our churches are located in some of the fastest-growing areas of the country. Others are located in areas where people are struggling with issues of poverty, lack of affordable housing, and a loss of hope. We are committed to providing vital missions, vital congregations, and strong leaders to connect our churches to the people. 

Los Metodistas Unidos de la Conferencia Río Texas se enfocan en llegar a las personas del sur de Texas. Algunas de nuestras iglesias están localizadas en algunas áreas de rápido crecimiento del país. Otras se localizan en áreas donde la gente está luchando con problemas de pobreza, falta de techo, y pérdida de esperanza. Estamos comprometidos en proporcionar misiones vitales, congregaciones vitales, y líderes fuertes para conectar a nuestras iglesias con la gente.
