If you are reading this because you have been asked to complete a connection form for a Global Ministries EarthKeeper, thank you! Global Ministries EarthKeepers equips United Methodists to develop environmental projects in their communities.
Each applicant must make a connection with one conference-level leader. This could be a bishop, director of connectional ministries, district superintendent, or creation care ministry chair person. The purpose is to help the applicant and conference person become aware of each other's ministries and see if there are ways that they applicant's project might connect with or support existing conference ministries. It is also an opportunity for the conference person to share any significant reservations they might have about the applicant with Global Ministries. You do not have to know the applicant well to complete this form.
If you have questions, email environment@umcmission.org. Thank you.
