Hearing The Call
There’s a call that’s coming from all corners of our church. It’s a call to live the Wesleyan tradition in ways we may never have imagined. It’s a call to us all!
And, it’s about you! We need you with us to turn worlds upside-down and make disciples of Jesus Christ!
Be a Part of the Movement
Throughout our connection a movement has been set in motion to reinvigorate The United Methodist Church. It started as a conversation, led by the Council of Bishops, and spread to the Table of General Secretaries, the Connectional Table, annual conferences and local congregations, and finally General Conference. It has become a movement to sharpen our mission and direct all critical aspects of our ministry together as a church rooted in the Wesleyan tradition. The movement has led to the creation of four areas of focus, which we'll explore in four plenary sessions:
Come to Florida in January
At Living the United Methodist Way: Turning Worlds Upside-Down we will gather Annual Conference core leaders with general agency representatives to understand, to embrace and to develop strategies for living The United Methodist Way through Inspirational worship and learning around our denominational directions adopted by General Conference. We will share best practices for mission and ministry, and equip participants to empower and embolden the church to live The United Methodist Way.
Over 1200 leaders attended the last Quadrennial Training, and we anticipate between 1000 and 1200 in attendance this time.
