Ang Iglesia Metodista sa Pilipinas (Tagalog for The Methodist Church in the Philippines, also known as AIM Pilipinas) is an indigenous autonomous Methodist church in the Philippines. The founders of the church, led by Presiding Bishop Rev. Lito Tangonan officially registered on December 7, 2011 the congregation with the Philippine Government through the Securities and Exchange Commission.[1]
The group adopted the methods of John Wesley as the father of Methodism.[2] [3] Like the rest of Methodists in the world, it is a Trinitarian, apostolic and mission church which adheres to the deity of Jesus Christ.
