There are many online resources<\/a> for United Methodists. Published by UMC agencies and partner organizations, these resources can be accessed online and used any time that fits in your ministry context or personal spiritual growth plan. The NC Conference Media Center is highlighting five new online resources that were recently published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing in Grace<\/a>
Growing in Grace, an initiative of Discipleship Ministries, exists to research, equip, and empower churches, denominational leaders, and parachurch organizations to form all children as anti-ableist Christians through worship by helping them learn and believe that all God’s creation is God’s good creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooted Methodism: Deeper Dives into Our History<\/a>
Rooted Methodism, from the General Commission on Archives and History, is a dynamic, historically grounded online course designed to help United Methodists explore the rich and complex story of their tradition\u2014from its eighteenth-century beginnings to the present-day global church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigrant Rights Are Under Attack<\/a>
Use this new resource from United Women in Faith to identify ways you can learn, act, and lead today, tomorrow, and all the days to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realize Grace<\/a>
Realize Grace, created by a UMC elder in the Horizon Texas Conference, offers small-group studies designed to help people grow in faith and awareness of God\u2019s presence. Each study includes short teaching videos, discussion guides, and resources for meaningful conversation and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI Belong: Stories on Resurrection & Belonging\u201d Eastertide Devotional<\/a>
In a time marked by polarization, injustice, and deep questions about who truly belongs, the \u201cI Belong: Stories on Resurrection & Belonging\u201d devotional series from the General Commission on Religion & Race offers a sacred counter-witness. Each reflection, paired with scripture, prayer, and a practice of belonging, becomes an act of resistance against the forces that divide us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
