Are you exploring a call to ministry? Do you want to start the process of becoming a Certified Candidate in the UMC? If so, this Candidacy Retreat is for you! The Candidacy Retreat is an all-day virtual event coming up on August 1, 2025. This is a wonderful day (including some short breaks and a longer lunch break) of hearing from the Bishop, District Superintendents, local pastors, ordained deacons and elders, etc.  

You will meet those who will be your mentors as well as other candidates on this same discernment journey as you. If you are interested in participating, you can use THIS LINK to register. After you register, we encourage you to start reading the book Christian as Minister with your pastor. If you have any questions about Candidacy Retreat, feel free to reach out to Rev. Hope Ledbetter-Bock at discernment@nccumc.org.

August 1 from 9 am to 5 pm via Zoom.
