Sacramental Theology and Worship will help students gain a deeper theological understanding and meaning of worship – it’s form and liturgy and hymnology. An overview of the theology of baptism and communion in the United Methodist tradition will also be covered.
Our goal is to bring together 150 folks to motivate and inspire them to be change agents in their churches and mission fields. We will be successful if each session creates priority change in the one attending, and then have that person infect their congregation.
Anything less than that is just …business as usual. We need to become unusual.

We invite churches who would like to help plan the Vancouver district youth retreat to bring a team to the retreat planning day. A church team would include at least one youth and at least one adult. This is a great opportunity to help develop leadership potential for youth in your church. We will be working on the retreat schedule, small group activities, large group activities and other retreat details. |
Please submit your church’s Charge Conference paperwork by end of business today.
There are 4 forms required for all churches:
These are the 4 forms the District Service Center is tracking for credit in the drawing for the free pass to Annual Conference. These forms are required of all churches.
There are other forms that are required of most churches, and should also be submitted after your church charge conference. Please see the charge conference documents page for details on those forms.
The majority of churches have charge conference before December 15th, however, if your church is having their charge conference after December 15th, the forms can be submitted “pending charge conference confirmation.”
Forms must be submitted in proper format to be counted.
For example: we cannot accept an Officer List of just names!
Officer Lists are updated in the computer system. We need names, addresses, phone numbers, and (hopefully) emails for all Chairs. This is to help us reach out to the church with important information.
Want to double check that we have your forms?
Unsure of what additional forms apply to your church?
Can’t get a form to work on your computer?
Please contact the District Service Center, we are here to help!
