Rev. Rhonda Grant Jordan

Rev. Rhonda Grant Jordan currently serves as the Director of Peace Building and Outreach Ministry for the North Carolina Conference. Previously, she served eight years as Associate Pastor of Mission and Outreach for Jarvis Memorial United Methodist Church. She is pleased and blessed to have the opportunity to work with staff, clergy, and laity of our conference as we seek to heal, restore, and rebuild for the Kingdom of God.

NC Conference Peace Building & Outreach Ministry

The physical ministry office for Peace Building & Outreach Ministry is located within the North Carolina Conference building. The ministry itself involves the work of the Outreach and Multicultural Committees throughout the Conference as a part of our Conference Connectional Ministries.

Peace Building involves and requires putting things in order, including ourselves, thinking and being in harmony with each other, without denying the other person humanity, and ideas to bring ourselves in line with the Kingdom of God.

The focus of Peace Building within the North Carolina Conference is to provide an overarching framework and comprehensive approach for creating communities of faith that encourage sustainable methods that will work to restore, rebuild, and reenergize local congregations and communities across the Conference.

Peace Building is a collaborative effort that includes varied ministries and working to build relationships and meet the needs of those we serve.

A Disciple Making, Leader Forming, and Peace Building Ministry

Peace Building Ministry within the North Carolina Conference is working to develop strategies that will equip and form leaders among our laity and clergy so that they will be able to collaborate with committees, ministries, and resources with the Conference that will support them in their ministries to make disciples of Jesus Christ as they build peace in areas that have experienced polarization and division.

This collaboration is working to determine and address areas of conflict, trauma, and disunity that stem from systemic issues around diversity, inclusion, racism, and the inequities that threaten the body of Christ.
