The
M.C.C.A. was established by the Methodist Church in Great
Britain which itself was formed on 20th September, 1932 through
the union of the churches formerly known as the Wesleyan Methodist
Church, the Primitive Methodist Church and the United Methodist
Church. The Methodist work in the West Indies, the Bahamas,
and the mainland territories in South and Central America
was actually inaugurated under the authority of the Reverend
John Wesley and his Conference in the year 1786. The Mission
which was sent by Reverend Wesley developed the work started
by Nathaniel Gilbert in 1760 in Antigua. The early mission
efforts have grown and expanded over the years, and the M.C.C.A.
is the governing body for the development of Methodism in
the aforementioned territories. The current President of the
M.C.C.A. is the Rev. Bruce Swapp. The Secretary is Rev. Franklyn
Manners. The office is located at Belmont, St. John's, Antigua,
P.O. Box 9. Phone 268-460-5777. Fax 268-460-5776.
