Gibraltar Methodist Church
The Gibraltar Methodist Church is part of the South West District of the Methodist Church of Great Britain. It has a long history associated with the development of British Gibraltar, and it has greatly strengthened its ties with the local population since the scaling down of Britain-based forces in recent years. In 2006 it appointed Fidel Patron - the first-ever Gibraltarian Superintendent Minister.
