Origins
In 2002, Tamil (with Sri Lankan background) Free Methodist pastors in Toronto, Canada, inquired about building relationships with a collection of independent pastors and churches in Sri Lanka. Following an exploratory visit by a Canadian FM team in early 2003, a process was initiated to provide leadership development to a group of pastors with a view to draw these pastors into the Free Methodist Church. Both Sinhala and Tamil peoples are represented in the founding group.
Present Ministries
Ministry teams from the Free Methodist Church in Canada travel to Sri Lanka twice a year to provide training programs and organizational support. Existing churches are located in Colombo, the capital, and in the mountainous tea-production areas in the center of the island.
