The local church in Brno was founded in 1991 by members of the United Methodist churches in Mikulov and Znojmo, who over the years had moved to Brno. A new parish was formed to include the Brno, Blansko and Znojmo churches. Znojmo is now once again part of a parish with Jihlava. Initially, the congregation in Brno met in the centre of the city in a leased room. In 1995 the congregation was weakened by the departure of a preacher and several active members. Under the leadership of a new pastor, the congregation focused on missionary work in the Brno suburb Bystrc, so new people began to come. Because the local church in Brno does not own a house or room, they meet at Archa – the missionary center of the Roman Catholic Church. Sunday services are attended by around 20 people including children. 

Preacher is Jana Daněčková.

Worship starts at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, Brno-Bystrc, Lýskova str.

UMC Jihlava ministry started in July 1923 with several Bible sermons of Dr. J. P. Barták. In August the congregation was founded and in February 1924 they bought a house, which had served till the year of 1968, when the city gave a contemporary chapel as compensation. Regularly, there are about 80 members, mostly families, so there are many children at a time. The congregation has many years old tradition in ministry with kids and teenagers. The youth is active here too and is engaged in missionary activities of our congregation. Besides common worship gathering in church and variety of activities, we have also house gathering (e.g. meeting of mothers and kids). In the year 1993 we opened Asylum house for men, later, Asylum house for mothers with kids..

Administrator is Filip Gärtner.

Worship starts at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday in rectory, 13 Seifertova St., Jihlava.

The Church in Litoměřice was founded in the year 1921 after three days preaching in YMCA and worships in a leased room. In the year 1923 the Church bought a house, which used to serve as a liquor pub. It is amazing, that place, where men used to drink with the result of losing their family budget in liquids, became the place of preached gospel. By the opening of chapel Dr. J. Dobeš had sermon on 2Cor 6:16: „For we are the temple of the living God.“ The Christians in UMC Litoměřice try to fulfil this word up till now.

Besides regular worship in the chapel there is gathering of home groups. Time to time, we make up sport events for kids and teenagers. The Church is focused on missionary work, it administrates Center of Christian Help, Maternity Center, Kindergarten and it is engaged in pastoral work in Remand Prison Litoměřice too.

Preacher is Zdeněk Brož.

The rapid growth of unique Plzeň Church led in half of nineties of 20th century to the division to so called “tribes”. From the very beginning, the tribe of Lochotín gathered to worships in a leased room (mostly in schools) or in households. Its vision was further evangelization in the neighbourhood. In the year 1993 this tribe became missionary station with lay workers in the lead. In the year 1996 was established new self-standing parish with missionary station in Stříbro and preacher station in Třemošná with relatively small number of members (around 40).

The church from the very beginning started to gather financial resources for its own chapel. In three years it gathered almost half of million CZK, while it had supported monetarily social work and was financially independent.

The bishop Bolleter asked for support General conference for world mission, where Millennium fund was established. At jubilee conference, in the year 1996, was the construction of new chapel accepted as a priority goal of the church. First steps, from choice of architectonical study till beginning of construction, were one big adventure of faith. On 11th April in 1999 the superintendent J. Červeňák by tapping on foundation stone officially started the construction of chapel, which was been finished in November the same year and on 18th December solemnly opened. In the new building the church lives regular worship life. It is focused on missionary work especially with young generation of the inhabitants of housing estate in neighbourhood. In the new centre there are daily activities for church and visitors from vicinity.

In the year 1923 was founded the congregation, which 4 years later built up the Bethlem Chapel in Husova Street. With other preacher stations it had around 1200 members. Three periods (economic crisis in the thirties, during the WW2 and after the communistic putsch in the year 1948 – especially the fifties) delivered serious blows into the life of this young congregation with the result of significant reduction in numbers of member’s base. A series of persecution measures culminated in the nationalization of the chapel, still one room could be used for the needs of the congregation till the year 1964. Thereafter it had to meet in a leased room. Over 20 years, the church tried to keep the congregation alive, but in the half of eighties had almost died out.  With the end of eighties the new period started. The preacher arranged evangelization; he started to teach the elements of Christianity and started to find new space for congregation. When the possibility of buying new house opened, new people started to attend the chapel. After the Velvet revolution the congregation could not fit into the chapel. The chapel in Husova Street, previously stolen by communists, was retrieved.  In the year 1996 the UMC of Plzeň was divided into three parishes: Plzeň 3 – Husova, Plzeň 1 – Lochotín a Staňkov.

Pastor is Pavel Hradský.

The church in Prague 10 – Strašnice

The first assembly of the UMC in Strašnice with great attention of the public was hold on the last Sunday in January 1921. Thereafter the preaching lectures followed, which were focused on evangelization. In April the evangelization effort culminated in gospel preaching in tents. After three moths the second Prague church has been established. There were around 200 active attendants, at that time. The congregation felt the need of their own liturgical space. Small gatherings took place in member’s flats, bigger assemblies were then in a leased room, mostly in saloons. This has changed in the year 1924, when church bought a land, where on 6th of April the foundation stone was put down. In a little less than 5 months the construction was finished. The church gained the space, which they so much prayed for.

The preacher is Milan Mrázek.

In the year 1883 rose up the first Wesleyan church directly in Kladno, based on the ministry of V. Páral. The church was supervised by Methodist preacher in Vienna. Since there is quite a distance between these cities, in the year 1892 the church has been united with the Free Reformed Church. However, the ministry of Methodist church in Kladno region begun to amplify, especially when in twenties of 20th century the Methodist missionaries came under the lead of Doctor J. Dobeš.

In autumn 1921, a missionary tent was built in Slaný. At the beginning the newcomers gathered in a leased room in various locations. In the year 1924 the church bought a house, which due to big expenses was sold soon. The issue with the place for worship has been solved with the construction of the Jan Hus House, ceremonially opened in July 1929. During following years the congregation went through many changes. It grew, but also diminished. Nowadays it belongs to minor congregations and it is conservative.

After almost 100 years the UMC ministry in Kladno has been restored, namely, the ministry for physically handicapped persons. This took its start by a missionary worker, who was also handicapped. The congregation grows not only thanks to handicapped persons, but also other people are joining. It meets in a leased room.

The preacher is Josef Červeňák.

Worship starts on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in Slaný, Vepřkova 1087

On 12th of May 1922 J. P. Barták came to Třeboň for the first time to check the possibilities of evangelization and founding of church. Already in June, he set a series of preaching in the hall of Právovarečné měšťanstvo. As a follow-up of his preaching 171 persons joined the church and their numbers grew so quickly that in the year 1923 the parish (Stráž nad Nežárkou included) over 500 members. One year later, new church was built, which serves until now. The economic crisis, the WW2 and sub-sequent communist period ceased the growth of ministry in the parish. Nowadays has UMC Třeboň around 30 members, who participate on regular life of congregation – Sunday worships, Bible studies and prayer gathering.

The preacher is Mária Kunstová.
