On Feb. 7, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Bishop LaTrelle Easterling will hold an online Town Hall meeting on restructuring and revitalization. See a video with this bishop on revitalization. 

Last year, the people of the Baltimore-Washington Conference made a bold, brave decision to pursue vital change, reclaim the movement of Methodism, and create deeper, stronger, and more consequential relationships with God, one another and the world. To accomplish these things, some restructuring changes are being made:

• All churches will be part of a collaborative hub.
• All hubs will be part of a district that maintains geographical proximity. (This is a change from previous versions of the plan.)

• Non-mission-related, specialized administrative duties will be centralized to support churches, rather than requiring each district to provide these services.

"As we implement the structural changes," said Bishop LaTrelle Easterling, "we must not lose sight of the purpose of these changes: to support our unrelenting focus on disciple-making, nurturing our maturity in Christ, and outward-facing, community-driven ministry that transforms lives and communities. In other words, we do not gather to benefit ourselves, we gather to continue the movement begun by Jesus Christ."
