About the SCJ

THE SOUTH CENTRAL JURISDICTION

The South Central Jurisdiction (SCJ) of the United Methodist Church was formed by the Uniting Conference of 1939 in Kansas City, Missouri. Fifteen Annual Conferences are included in the Jurisdiction, which spans eight states: Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The South border of the Navajo Indian Nation in northeastern Arizona was placed in the SCJ by the 1968 General Conference.

The Jurisdiction contains 11 Episcopal Areas presided over by 11 active bishops. There are 98 districts in the 15 Annual Conferences of the SCJ. Approximately 1,830,000 United Methodists belong to approximately 6,400 local churches of the SCJ.

The three institutions most closely related to the SCJ are:
Lydia Patterson Institute, El Paso, Texas;
Mount Sequoyah Conference and Retreat Center, Fayetteville, Arkansas;
Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas.
---Wesley Foundation - SMU, Dallas, Texas
Each of these institutions is supported, in part, by the apportionments that each Annual Conference pays to the SCJ.

The South Central Jurisdiction is governed by its Mission Council, which includes representatives from each Annual Conference.
