The Association of Independent Methodists (AIM) is a fellowship of independent Methodist congregations that are aligned with the holiness movement. The Association is based in the United States, being founded in 1965 by churches who left the mainline Methodist Church because of disagreements on church government and doctrinal matters.[1] As of 2024, the denomination has 100 churches in 11 U.S. states, concentrated mostly in the Southern United States.[2]
