On this page you'll find information and resources to prepare for your church's annual Church Conference.
Each church meets annually as a community of God to celebrate ministries, conduct the business of the church, and to resolve to answer the call of Jesus Christ in the year ahead.
The Church Conference format is one of Holy Conferencing where the business agenda is blended into worshipful work. It includes the following:
Staff/Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) meeting: This meeting includes the District Superintendent (DS) and the SPRC. It is held immediately prior or several days prior to the Church Conference. Churches receive scheduling information from the DS.
Church Conference: This meeting includes an Elder (DS or presiding Elder), church leaders and parishioners. It is held after the SPRC meeting. Churches receive scheduling information from the DS.
Reports: To conduct church business, church leaders and pastors complete several reports.
Churches access and process annual church conference reports online. Do not email reports or send paper reports.
Reports are accessed in two ways:
1. Church Dashboard - This is the location of most Church Conference reports. Pastors and various church leaders have permission to access the reports.
NEW IN 2024
2. Email invitation to FormVites - These reports are required by December 1. They are not submitted at Church Conference. They are not accessed via the Church Dashboard. Pastors/Lay Assigned and SPRC Chairs received an email invitation on September 26, 2024.
These comprehensive lists include due dates, responsibilities, locations and descriptions.
