After a year of research, development, coding and creating, we are pleased to welcome you to our new online home for the Michigan Conference.  We interviewed more than 200 clergy, laity, staff and others to learn what you needed and wanted to support ministry in the local church and in communities.  This is a new model, a Content Management System.  CMS that works differently than a website.  Our old site had more than 20,000 pages of often old and outdated content.  Our new CMS system fits into less than a tenth of the size and will change daily.  It is an online resource news network for ministry with the latest resources to inspire and support your work.

One hundred UMCOR Cleaning Buckets were delivered and the Brighton United Methodist Church’s Early Response Team trailer was left with the Rev. Scott Lindenberg, pastor of Hancock.

Bishop David Bard invites you in to learn to have difficult conversations as we Weave Our Future in the Michigan Conference.
