I am enjoying learning more about the BOD and the UMC structure. This discerment process is taking me on a journey of personal belief. I’m still learning about the history of the UMC. I feel this process is helping me grow spiritually along with teaching me about the operations of the UMC, while also, enlightening me about many of the current issues affecting our church.

It has taught me more about the BOD and how our UMC structure is changing. The structure is not totally 100% going by the BOD and God’s word. -
