Origins
A Venezuelan couple, Alexis and Dorys Ramirez, became a part of the Free Methodist Church while doing graduate work in Ypsilanti, Michigan. They returned to their hometown in Maturin, Venezuela, in July 1984, determined to plant Free Methodist churches. In December of that year, the first Free Methodist church was organized. In 1989 a new church was planted in the capital city of Caracas. Present Ministries
