Course Dates:
October 30 – November 18, 2023
The history, heritage, beliefs, mission and culture of the United Methodist Church for anyone – newcomer or longtime member – who wants to know what’s distinctive about being a United Methodist Christian. Learners will explore the special gifts of theology and witness that the tradition brings to the Church universal, how the denomination got where it is today and how these distinctive emphases are still needed in the 21st century church. No matter what happens at or after General Conference in 2024, this bedrock of all groups in Methodism will still be relevant.
This class is one of the core Lay Servant Ministries classes, but everyone is welcome! Participants must obtain the book Living Our Beliefs: The United Methodist Way by Bishop Kenneth Carder (it is not included in the course fee). Other materials will be downloaded.
Learners should be prepared to read assignments and post their written reflections on the discussion boards daily, but there is no set time to be online. This is an intense course. Learners are strongly urged to get the book and read it before the course starts, to make it more relaxed and fun.
