Whether you are laity or clergy, our mission is the same: to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. If you are a lay person energized by the opportunity to bring the Gospel to new people in new ways, you might be ready to start something new in South Georgia! We have a new online class coming up called the Lay Planter's Academy and between Aug. 14-Oct. 18, you will have the opportunity to complete this self-paced online course and learn how God might be preparing you to start a new ministry. Whether it is a home church, Fresh Expression of church, or a new innovative ministry within your existing church, this course will help prepare you for what God has next. We will begin with an Introductory Zoom where will you have the opportunity to learn more about the course and determine if you'd like to be a part of it. To register for this zoom, click here! If you have questions, please email abosarge@sgaumc.com or gracie@sgaumc.com
It's time for churches in SGA to get back on mission and reach deep into their communities to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. If you're ready to join us in resetting your church on mission, join us for the 23-24 Reset Cohort. Details and registrations here: https://www.sgaumc.org/reset
If you think your church and community is too rural or small to host a Fresh Expression, join us for the Rural Church Rising Conference on Oct. 27-28 in Fruitland Park, FL as we come together with other small church pastors who are innovating in their small, rural communities. Fresh Expressions are for everyone! Find out more about the event here: https://www.freshexpressionsfl.org/rural-church-rising-2023.
