A Note From the Bishop

Dear Colleagues in Ministry,

My own journey in ministry has taught me that the needs and skills and issues of ministry are forever changing. As I look back upon my graduation from seminary and my early years in ministry, I realize how much my ministry has changed over the years and how much new challenges are ever before me. I have had to learn and adapt, as I’m sure you are doing.

This Ministry Development Brochure offers opportunities for you to continue learning, growing and adapting to the ever-changing issues of ministry. I pray that you’ll take advantage of these opportunities and keep adapting to those issues in ministry.

Yours in Christ,

Bishop Michael J. Coyner
Indiana Area of the United Methodist Church
