Discipleship Priorities

Mental Health & Well-Being

We will prioritize how to help our clergy, churches, and staff remain healthy and flourishing as we navigate the challenging parts of ministry.

Professions of Faith

A disciple invites and leads others to experience the love of Christ. We will reclaim our mission to reach those who can join us to transform the world.

Culture of Call

We will nurture relationships that foster an environment where each of us can hear God’s calling on our life.

Spiritual Leadership Development

We will allocate time and resources to cultivate, develop, and educate faithful disciples to offer excellent leadership for current and future generations.

Disrupting & Dismantling Racism & Discrimination

We will acknowledge the areas where we need guidance in order to be a voice that speaks up for what is right and against what is wrong. This will help us live into becoming God’s Beloved Community where everyone belongs.
