2025 Year-End Ministry Report

2025 Year-End Ministry Report

Greetings in Jesus’ Name!

Each year and every day, churches engage in ministry with their communities and share the gospel of Jesus Christ inside and outside the church. We worship, pray, study God’s word, and reach out to a world in need of salvation and hope. I celebrate with you all the life-changing ministries in your church.

Part of the responsibility I have as Conference Superintendent is to join with you to take the temperature of the congregations within the Northeast Annual Conference each year. One way to do that is to have each church spend some time reporting on a list of data from the previous year. I know that reporting is not always a spiritual practice, but in some ways, this gives us an opportunity to give thanks for all that we’ve done in Jesus’ name, as well as look forward to the future as we follow the Spirit’s vision for ministry in the churches of our Conference.

Thanks for taking some time to read over this list and give us, collectively, some information to celebrate!

Richest blessings,

Rev. Steven Taylor, Conference Superintendent
Northeast Annual Conference of the Global Methodist Church
