PRESENT MINISTRIES

Free Methodist work formally opened in May 2014. Pastor Bertin, the church’s first leader, began working with the FMC while a refugee in Liberia from 2012 to 2013. When Pastor Bertin returned to his homeland in 2013, many Ivorians were still recovering from significant losses suffered during the civil war that erupted in 2010. He worked with 15 pastors serving nine churches and several fellowships. In 2017 Maho Olivier became the national leader.

Free Methodist work in Ivory Coast was formally opened in May 2014. An Ivorian pastor began working with Free Methodists while he was a refugee in Liberia from 2012 to 2013. Returning to his homeland in 2013, he resumed working with several pastors and fellowships. The work is expanding outward from Guiglo in the northwest.
