This year we meet at Faith UMC for a cluster charge conference which includes several churches in our region.
The charge/church conference is to review a congregations progress, set goals for the coming year, approve the pastor’s compensation, elect congregational leaders approve candidates for ministry and approve building programs. A charge conference is the church council, appointed clergy, retired clergy associated with the congregation and the district superintendent or the superintendent’s representative. A church conference is all of the above people and the congregation’s professing members.
