Connection Ministry—Front to Back
Get connected! Connections Ministry serves as an information resource through effective processes and dynamic teams.  From the ‘front door’ visitor to the ‘back door’ member drifting away, Connections Ministry teams exist to care for and connect each member of the church family into the life of the church beyond worship. Connections Ministry staff and lay leadership will cover the roles and processes of various connections teams such as 3-Visit, New Member, Ministry Connector, and worship Connection Point teams with an opportunity for Q&A and interaction with fellow participants.

Singles Ministries-Is Your Church “Singles” Friendly?
Recent Barna studies indicate the US population is approximately 47% single, yet these same studies also reveal that only 15% of single adults regularly attend church.  What are we doing as a church that might be preventing singles from feeling like they belong?  Do we think of singles as a “program” or part of the Body of Christ?  Come and learn practical ways we can re-examine and re-define our approach to help make our church more single-friendly.

Small Group Ministry- Building a Small Group Ministry in the Small Church
This workshop is designed to help lay leaders and staff working with smaller congregations to identify strategies for launching and growing a robust small group ministry. The workshop will include an analysis of survey responses provided by existing United Methodist congregations (300 or less in worship), examining the unique challenges faced by these churches and the best practices they have used in small group ministry. In addition, the workshop will include an examination of solutions developed at Resurrection that can be applied to any congregation.

Women's Ministry
God desires for us to experience life together.  Offer a place for women to connect in fellowship, learning, and service.  As we grow in relationship with one another through mom's groups, Bible studies, small groups, and special events--we draw nearer to God.
