Digital Discipleship

In partnership with your conference offices, we are developing and launching "Digital Discipleship," a well-vetted hub of resources to help you develop a sustainable digital ministry.

The Latest Digital Discipleship Feature is....Pastoral Care

Rev. Eddie Rester, senior pastor at Oxford-University United Methodist Church in Oxford and Rev. Andy Stoddard, senior pastor at St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church in Madison have a candid conversation about their experiences with pastoral care during a pandemic. Below are some best practices that they have found to be effective in continuing mission and ministry in the life of the church. If you have additional ideas on practicing congregational care during a pandemic, send them to Rev. Eddie Rester at erester@ouumc.org or Rev. Andy Stoddard at  andy@stm-umc.org.
