Support for Ministry & Innovation
Children’s Ministries
Children are born with an innate sense of wonder and faith that is real and authentic. As teachers and leaders our role is to provide a foundation of experiences on which children build a life of learning and growth toward a mature and vital faith.
Christian Education
Faithful discipleship is a lifelong journey. Christian education comes in many forms — traditional face-to-face class and Bible studies, small groups, online groups — and pulls from many places to find curriculum and other study material. Innovative leaders are constantly providing new models and resources.
Coaching
Working one-on-one with a coach specializing in a specific field, clergy and lay leadership teams work to understand their unique mission-field, assess resources and opportunities for ministry, align outreach with community needs, and cast a new vision for the church to move forward.
Communications
Communications provides leadership for the Texas Conference in communication, public relations, and promotion programs.
Discipleship Pathways
A pathway is a uniquely Wesleyan framework assisting a disciple grow in his or her relationship with Jesus Christ in a systematic way.
