General Conference 2020, postponed to 2024, is now over, and big things happened there! This session of the official United Methodist Church polity course will cover what happened and what comes next, for our congregations, our annual conferences, and our denomination. It will help church leaders and longtime members lead, and help newcomers get their bearings. And, although the official disaffiliation period is over, folks still have questions about it, so this course will also provide information about the Global Methodist Church. Our goal will be to understand how we can all serve and fulfill God’s call through Wesleyan organizational principles. We’ll explore how such principles help our congregations be a place and a people that embody the Kingdom of God. This course has been approved by Discipleship Ministries as an advanced course in Lay Servant Ministries. It is the “polity” course required for Lay Speaker certification.
