Pastor Forums

The Board of General Superintendents, in partnership with District Superintendents, is sponsoring Pastors Forums during 2009 and 2010. The purpose of the Pastors Forums is to gather knowledge from the grassroots on what needs to be revived, refined, reinvented, and/or restructured in order for The Wesleyan Church in North America to spread hope and holiness that transforms our communities. District Superintendents will convene clusters of pastors in their districts so they and the General Superintendents can hear the thoughts of local church pastors on the following questions:

Six Key Questions:

  1. What would a denomination look like that was truly spreading hope and holiness that transforms communities?
  2. What are your greatest hopes for The Wesleyan Church to help it be a denomination that spreads hope and holiness that transforms communities?
  3. What are North American Wesleyans already doing that makes us a denomination that is spreading hope and holiness that transforms communities?
  4. What are the barriers that prevent us from achieving this?
  5. What needs to be revived, refined, reinvented and/or restructured in order for The Wesleyan Church in North America to spread hope and holiness that transforms communities?
  6. How should we measure the health and growth of The Wesleyan Church as we strive to spread hope and holiness that transforms communities?
