The Pensacola District is one of eight districts comprising the The United Methodist Church's Alabama-West Florida Conference.  Within our District are sugar-white beaches, emerald Gulf waters, fruited plains, and half a dozen military communities.  There are 53 United Methodist Churches in the Pensacola District, with more than 33,000 members, in an area which includes Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa Counties in Florida and a small slice of Baldwin County in Alabama.  True to biblical mandate and denominational priority, we are committed to making disciples of residents, tourists, and snowbirds alike through the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ, the establishment of new congregations, and the nurture of exisiting ones. For more about us click here. Pensacola District office hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
