“Better Together”
A threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

Church annual meetings are important in the life of the church. Paragraph 247.3 in the Book of Disciplines requires each church to hold a conference annually, to review and evaluate the ministry of the church, receive reports, and adopt goals recommended by the church council for next year. Working with the DS, the church can call a church or charge conference for this work. A charge conference is the basic governing body of the local church and is compromised of the church council (administrative board or leadership team) and all retired clergy within the local church; a church conference invites broader participation where all members have the right to attend and vote. Pastors are invited to consult with their DS to determine the appropriate conference setting for your context (charge or church conference, multiple point charges in one-unified or multiple meetings, in-person or zoom, etc.).
