New York/Genesee Conferences Ohio Conference Indiana Conference
In the early years, Michigan was part of the Upper Canada (Ontario) District of the New York Conference and then the Genesee Conference. In 1820, Michigan moved to the Ohio Conference and remained there until the creation of the Michigan Conference in 1836. Upon the creation of an Indiana Conference, several churches in southwestern Michigan were attached to that conference until 1839.
