Your Church Can Grow

The 2008 Greater New Jersey Annual Conference approved the goal of starting at least one new church per year. This coincides with one of the four foci of our United Methodist Bishops of “creating new places for people” to worship God and live out their discipleship. There are many ways this can happen. A church could start a satellite campus or create a totally new worship service targeting a new group of people. A church could help start a new daughter church. The healthiest of churches are ones that reproduce!

I have received many positive comments since sending out a special edition of my e-letter on “Making a Good Move.” Thanks to those who have taken the time to give feedback! There will be many pastoral changes come July 1. I welcome your comments and ideas for how to make a good move. Please post them here.
