Leading During COVID<\/h6>\n

The conference ministerial candidate (CMC) process is challenging at the best of times, but during a global pandemic, it put many of our leaders to the test. Our incoming group of CMCs continue to show deep commitment to their calling, no matter what.<\/p>\n

Elders<\/h3>\n

Within the Free Methodist Church, Elders are ministers who have shown to be gifted and lead by God not only to serve in the church, but to lead and train others to do the same. Elders serve in appointed roles throughout the church, often in unique ways.<\/p>\n

Deacons<\/h3>\n

In response to God\u2019s call on their lives, consecrated deacons offer servant-leadership in particular areas of congregational life, according to the gifts and graces God has given and they have developed. Complementing the work of elders, consecrated deacons serve the society by assisting and leading the membership to carry out its ministries to one another and the world.<\/p>\n

Conference Ministerial Candidates<\/h3>\n

As local ministry leaders experience God\u2019s call to expand their ministry, they may enter into conference ministerial candidacy, a process of personal, spiritual, and executive development that seeks to train effective leaders to embody the skills and personal qualities required in growing ministries.<\/p>\n
