Division
of Ministry in the Local Church The Division on Ministry in the Local Church resources local churches in many aspects of community life. Following a survey of the Association, the Division adopted a three-year strategy focusing on Worship, Christian Formation, and Vocation. Through several events in the course of a year, the Division provides opportunities to learn from presenters and by sharing with fellow UCC members. Most recently, the Division on Ministry in the Local Church has presented youth leader training sessions in partnership with the Conference Youth Ministry Team. Confirmation
Retreats
The
Division on Ministry in the
Local Church sponsors two Confirmation Retreats in October of each
year. Providing Confirmation students the opportunity to
learn
about the wider church, the United Church of Christ, and other aspects
of faith, the retreats also offer a good time! A chance to
get to
know youth from other churches in the Association begins to build
relationships that can continue and be strengthened by participation in
camping and other conference events.
