Dreaming of Vital Congregations

All of us want to be a part of a church that is vital and vibrant. We dream of a church that touches our soul and sends us out into the world to “make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.”

It’s in that spirit the General Board of Discipleship (GBOD), through GodFilms, has produced a five-part film series celebrating and exploring the issues we hold dear. Use these films as discussion starters in your small groups.

Dream with us.

Making Growth Sustainable
Providing Needed Resources in Central Conferences

 

What do you take for granted as you walk into your church each Sunday? How is it that the fastest growing areas of The United Methodist Church are those with the least resources? Will that ever change?

 

 

Dream...but also act! GBOD can help.

People seek meaning and direction. Your church seeks a community that can transform the world. Sadly, the paths often run parallel rather than converge. That's where GBOD can help. In this time of ferment and change, explore the issues with us as we look toward the future. Together, we have work to do.
