The Office of Connectional Ministries is excited to announce an updated, online Safe Sanctuaries Train-the-Trainer program.
The North Alabama Annual Conference adopted an updated Conference Safe Sanctuaries policy during the 2021 Annual Conference session on June 5.
Under the Partner Event Program, local churches can partner with the Conference on an event or program that furthers the Conference's mission.
To help gauge what resources are most needed and will be most helpful, the Office of Connectional Ministries invites you to complete a resource survey.
On March 21, 2021, the North Alabama Conference hosted a virtual Conference-wide Safe Sanctuaries training attended by nearly 800 participants.
The past year has been a difficult year for our United Methodist missionaries to visit churches and share stories of their ministries.
More than just a means of reducing legal risk, Safe Sanctuary policies send a clear message that United Methodist churches are ones where children, youth and vulnerable adults can experience the presence of God in a safe and nurturing environment.
The Office of Connectional Ministries seeks to be a resource center for our conference-wide ministries in our local churches, districts, organizations and ministries as they work to fulfill God’s mission.
Safe Sanctuaries is the North Alabama Conference's program for developing policies for and conducting training in the protection of children, youth and vulnerable adults in our congregations.
Rev. Dr. Adlene Kufarimai will become Director of Connectional Ministries. Additionally, effective Feb. 1, 2021, Rev. John Fleischauer will move from a part-time to a full-time role as Associate Director of Connectional Ministries.
Pastors and laity of the North Alabama Conference will be welcomed to browse their selection of more than 500 resources, discuss ministry ideas and options and enjoy Valentine’s treats.
