"Source" Event to Become Online Offering

(NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 14, 2009/GBOD) — Because of declining economic conditions in the United States, Young People's Ministries of the General Board of Discipleship (GBOD) will shift its regional leader development program called "The Source" to an online offering. The new online offering will be available in a variety of ways at no charge.

This decision was made in consultation with several conference and local church youth and young adult ministry leaders who were scheduled to be involved in leading the events this year.

This will provide an avenue for the content of "The Source" events to be available to a much wider audience.

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.
