GBOD Extends Deadline for Discipleship University

Devozine
 
(NASHVILLE, Tenn., February 6, 2009/GBOD) — Large churches may still apply for Burning Bush, an opportunity for congregational leaders to build a comprehensive plan for discipleship. The core curriculum for Discipleship University, Burning Bush is a key strategy for addressing revitalization of congregations, which supports the denomination's Four Areas of Focus.

GBOD is recruiting congregations to begin Burning Bush 2 in April. This second "round" of experiences is designed for large-membership churches (those congregations with an average attendance of 250 or more in worship). Congregations that would benefit from this experience are encouraged to apply.

Application materials and more information are available at www.gbod.org/du. The Burning Bush program for large churches begins April 30. The application deadline has been extended to Feb. 27.

Interested persons may also call Mary McDonald at (877) 899-2780, ext. 1760, or e-mail Mary at mmcdonald@gbod.org.

GBOD's mission is to support annual conference and local church leaders for their task of equipping world-changing disciples. An agency of The United Methodist Church, GBOD is located at 1908 Grand Ave. in Nashville, Tenn. Visit www.gbod.org for more information or call the Media Relations Office toll free at 877-899-2780, ext. 7017.
