Missional Office Calendar Now Online
|
The West District will continue to be a virtual office going to different churches throughout the district for the purpose of meeting with church people and pastors. The main concept this coming year is to fulfill the new focus of the district superintendent as a missional strategist. This would mean John Groves and John Davis will be asking about what you are doing in missions and help each congregation to be outwardly focused.
Therefore, we are transitioning from being called a "virtual office" to a "missional office." You can still find our calendar of office locations on the district website at www.inumc.org/westdistrict. It is our hope that when you notice where we are planning our "office for the day" you will join us for conversation and share what exciting events are taking place in your places of worship and ministry. This office time is open to both laity and clergy.
Our vision is to create an operational team to help create ministry action plans for churches to look at the root causes of living out ministry with minimal growth. We need to help one another in fulfilling the mission of the Indiana Conference.
Blessings and Prayers,
The West District Staff
