Looking for a way to expand your horizons and dream ways your church can reach New People? Look no further than the New Places New People workshop, taking place on March 11th at Bland Street United Methodist Church from 10am to 2:30pm. This exciting event offers a unique opportunity to learn about this new initiative in our conference!
New Places • New People is not an event or a program, but rather a way of engaging with our world, our communities, and our neighbors in the places they already are. More than traditional outreach, New Places • New People focuses on creating new discipling communities beyond the walls of our buildings. Through a series of engaging activities and thought-provoking discussions, attendees will explore new ways to be the church!
Whether you’ve been at this a long time or perhaps still figuring out how your gifts can be used in service to God’s Kingdom this workshop is the perfect opportunity for you. You’ll have the chance to connect with individuals from different churches and communities as well share your own thoughts with the team from your church.
We believe God is moving in new ways in our communities, creating openings for the kinds of authentic friendships that transform people’s lives.
And we believe the Church still has a part to play…all we have to do is listen.
Across the area served by the West Virginia Conference, there are hundreds of contexts within which new faith communities can spring up, supported by our existing churches.
Within each of our churches—no matter how large or small—there are passionate people we can equip and resource to bring new communities to life in the places where people are already gathering.
The West Virginia Conference is committed to helping our churches connect with new people in new places.
