United Methodist Church Leadership Institute 

On October 2–3, our Ministry Council will be attending the Church of the Resurrection’s Leadership Institute 2025: RISE online—and you’re invited to join us at no cost to you! A group from the ministry council will be gathering at the church to participate in this event. This is a great way to learn and also to fellowship together!

The Institute brings together prominent Methodist leaders, pastors, and teachers from around the world, including Rev. Adam Hamilton. Together, we will learn how to take intentional steps to strengthen our vitality as a church, encourage growth, and live more fully into our mission of Living Christ’s Love. Participating online with our church family is a great way to be inspired, grow in faith, and help shape the future of our ministry. We will have the opportunity to participate in two breakout sessions about hospitality and community leadership.

On Thursday, October 2, 2025, we will gather from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The Friday session runs from 8:00 am to noon. Refreshments and lunch will be provided both days. There is an optional online worship service on Thursday at 7:00 pm. Mark your calendar and plan to be part of this exciting opportunity!
