The Future of the UMC
The future of the UMC depends on the decisions made by all United Methodists. As the United Methodist Church waits to learn if a gathering of the global denomination will take place in August 2022, many are looking for answers about what may happen and the impact on their local church. The conference has assembled a FAQ with answers to your most pressing questions and also created a video form that you can share with others for discussion.
Readers to Leaders
CREATING LEADERS THROUGH EDUCATION
At the 2022 Michigan Annual Conference, the body voted overwhelmingly to support the “Readers to Leaders” fundraising campaign. The campaign runs from June 1, 2022, to May 1, 2023 and has the goal of raising $500,000. These funds will support two ministries focused on education and we are asking local churches to create their own ministry relationship with a school in their community.
