Active clergy serving in the East and West Ohio Conferences are invited to attend the All-Ohio School of Ministry, scheduled for September 18–20, 2025, at Kalahari Resorts in Sandusky, Ohio.
Centered on the theme “Reimagining Connection: All-Ohio School of Ministry on Beloved Community,” this gathering offers a unique opportunity for leaders to boldly imagine the next chapter of United Methodism in Ohio. Through meaningful dialogue, renewed connection, and shared vision, attendees will explore what it means to be a church for the future.
Rev. Dr. Javier A. Viera, President of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, is the featured speaker. A highly respected voice in theological education, justice-centered ministry, and inclusive leadership, Dr. Viera will guide attendees to rethink the Church’s role in building a more just and compassionate world.
The School of Ministry will also include:
- Inspiring sessions focused on the future of the Church in Ohio
- Interactive networking and fellowship opportunities
- Dedicated time for members of the Fellowship of Local Pastors and Associate Members, as well as the Orders of Deacons and Elders, to learn from one another and deepen understanding of ministry needs across the state
Together, clergy leaders will envision the future of United Methodist witness in Ohio—rooted in beloved community, shared purpose, and profound spiritual formation.
