Short History: 

This denomination was founded in the US by congregations started as missions of the Primitive Methodist Church in England.  A Western Conference and an Eastern Conference were created through church growth and westward expansion.  The number of conferences waxed and waned and the two remaining were merged in 1975 to form the current church.  Most congregations are found in PA, but there are some in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Ohio, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin and New York.

Local Churches:  There are no local churches.  The nearest one to Louisville is in Northeastern OH.
