ESUMC Prague
Welcome to the English Speaking United Methodist Church of Prague. Please join us for weekly worship at 11 AM (Sunday) at our Prague 10 location – 28. pluku 15.
V roce 2011 byl v Praze založen metodistický sbor „English Speaking United Methodist Church Prague“, který pro své bohoslužby užívá anglický jazyk. Jeho členy jsou jak cizinci žijící v Praze, tak i čeští občané. Jako zakládající farářka zde sloužila Michelle McKinnon Young z Johnson City UMC District v Tennessee, spolu se svým manželem Garym Waynem Youngem.
Nyní sbor vede farářka Velma Campbell.

Třeboň
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.
Worship starts at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday

Tachov
The parish of Tachov has been established in the UMC Annual Conference 2002.
The UMC Tachov rose up in the year 1992/3 with a ministry of Pavel Beneš and other people, who became Christians during their study in Plzeň. Thereafter they were supported in their ministry by congregation Maranatha. The workers regularly commuted from Plzeň, worked with kids and preached as late as preacher Richard Novák started his ministry. He commuted too, but not from such a distance – from Kokašice, twice a week. The UMC Tachov has been at the very beginning a missionary station of the UMC Maranatha in Plzeň. In the year 1995 the bishop reassigned this station to UMC Karlovy Vary, in the year 2000 the UMC Tachov returned under the parish Plzeň 3 – Maranatha, and finally, in the year 2002 the independent parish of Tachov has been established.
As the time was passing the composition of the congregation has been changing. Many of founding members left, however, many new-comers emerged. The church has been strengthened by group of believers, which came from Christian Fellowship and one by one joined also people from outside. When we managed to get a rent room at city square, house number 70, from the city hall, we decided to open the church for public. The room got the name #70 (Sedmdesátka) and we established there a tea room with daily operation. In #70 began to work the choir Fusion. They hold there Evenings with Literature, meeting of maternity club Krteček, Royal Rangers and other events. In the year 2016 the church began to work with recently established bureau of St. George Hospice. In the church lead emerged successively preachers Miloslav Čech, Zdeněk Eberle, Milan Mrázek a Petr Vaďura.

Slaný
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
