The first full-time general secretary was appointed over thirty years ago. IMYC exists to establish links between the Church and children and young people, so that every generation in the church's life is appreciated and listened to. This involves representing and advocating youth and children's issues within the whole life of the Church as well as providing training to ministers and youth and children's workers. </p><p>The current general secretary is Gillian Gilmore, and her predecessors have included: Rev Dr David Rock, Rev David Neilands; Rev Dr Johnston McMaster, Rev Winston Good and Rev John Knox, the department's first general secretary. Current members of staff are: Dani Lorimer (Office Administrator), Lisa Best, & Gemma Barclay (Youth Ministry), Amy Anderson (Communications) & Leanne Hill (Training & Development).

The department also runs a number of flagship events such as Follow the Star (an interactive prayer room for under 8s), Soul Mates (For ages 9–13), Overflow (for young leaders aged 15+) and Autumn Soul (for ages 13+). </p><p><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Methodist_Newsletter"><i>The Methodist Newsletter</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Methodist_Church_in_Ireland&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: The Methodist Newsletter"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i><a href="/wiki/The_Methodist_Newsletter" title="The Methodist Newsletter">The Methodist Newsletter</a></i> is a newsletter produced by the Methodist Church in Ireland every month (except August). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Contribution_to_Northern_Ireland_peace_process">Contribution to Northern Ireland peace process</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Methodist_Church_in_Ireland&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Contribution to Northern Ireland peace process"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Methodism_Northern_Ireland_Census_2011.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Methodism_Northern_Ireland_Census_2011.png/220px-Methodism_Northern_Ireland_Census_2011.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Methodism_Northern_Ireland_Census_2011.png/330px-Methodism_Northern_Ireland_Census_2011.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Methodism_Northern_Ireland_Census_2011.png/440px-Methodism_Northern_Ireland_Census_2011.png 2x" data-file-width="22544" data-file-height="17553" /></a><figcaption>Map of Methodist population in Northern Ireland (<a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_Census_2011" class="mw-redirect" title="United Kingdom Census 2011">2011 census</a>).

Although in many areas of the country the Church is increasing in numbers it is aware that as a whole numbers are decreasing in church membership across the country in every denomination. </p><p>The church has since published its 'ConneXions' plan. The core vision of ConneXions is that each local Church will reflect the life of Christ in its own area. Each church was asked to participate in a community survey so as to find a policy in each church which will best match the needs of its locality. The Methodist Church hopes that this plan when fully implemented will put the entire connexion in a strong position for regrowth and redevelopment in the 21st Century whilst holding fast to the emphasises of the Wesleyan tradition on which it was formed.<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2002 The Methodist Church in Ireland signed a covenant for greater cooperation and potential ultimate unity with the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Ireland" title="Church of Ireland">Church of Ireland</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Presidents_of_the_Methodist_Church_of_Ireland">Presidents of the Methodist Church of Ireland</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Methodist_Church_in_Ireland&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Presidents of the Methodist Church of Ireland"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rev._Dr._Heather_Morris_President_of_the_Methodist_Church_in_Ireland.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Rev._Dr._Heather_Morris_President_of_the_Methodist_Church_in_Ireland.jpg/220px-Rev._Dr._Heather_Morris_President_of_the_Methodist_Church_in_Ireland.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Rev._Dr._Heather_Morris_President_of_the_Methodist_Church_in_Ireland.jpg/330px-Rev._Dr._Heather_Morris_President_of_the_Methodist_Church_in_Ireland.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Rev._Dr._Heather_Morris_President_of_the_Methodist_Church_in_Ireland.jpg/440px-Rev._Dr._Heather_Morris_President_of_the_Methodist_Church_in_Ireland.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4912" data-file-height="3264" /></a><figcaption>Rev.
