UMC Leader resources on web

08.29.19 | Leader Development, Communications | by Melissa Lauber

    ResourceUMC.org. is a centralized portal to equip United Methodist leaders with helpful information and tools all in a single spot on the Web. 

    “Visitors to the site will find that whatever their ministry need or audience, ResourceUMC has them covered on topics that include Christian education, church vitality, communications and marketing, spiritual formation, congregational care, stewardship, specialized ministries and others,” said Tyris Sturgis of United Methodist Communications “People in all types of leadership roles within the church body, not just clergy and church staff, will find resources here. If they serve the church in any capacity, ResourceUMC is for them. We realize that knowledge is power, so we are empowering leaders to make the biggest impact for Christ.”

    Companion ResourceUMC Facebook and Twitter channels provide a place for leaders to participate, interact, share with and learn from one another. While “The Source” e-newsletter updates users about interesting and timely content. “By offering a comprehensive experience, leaders acquire information in the way they prefer: on demand via the website, in their social feeds or in newsletter format in their email inbox,” shares Sturgis.

    The announcement comes on the heels of United Methodist Communications’ recent launch of UMNews.org—the news-only website managed by the United Methodist News Service.
