Discipleship Priorities
In his first 100 days, the new bishop of the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference (TWK), David Graves, visited all the districts in the TWK to learn how to support local churches. What he heard as he traveled became the TWK's Discipleship Priorities.
MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
We will prioritize how to help our clergy, churches and staff remain healthy and flourishing as we navigate the challenging parts of ministry.
PROFESSIONS OF FAITH
A disciple invites and leads others to experience the love of Christ. We will reclaim our mission to reach those who can join us to transform the world.
CULTURE OF CALL
We will nurture our relationships that foster an environment where each of us can hear God's calling on our life.
SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We will allocate time and resources to cultivate, develop, and educate faithful disciples to offer excellent leadership for current and future generations.
DISRUPTING AND DISMANTLING RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION
We will acknowledge the areas where we need guidance in order to be a voice that speaks up for what is right and against what is wrong. This will help us live into becoming God's Beloved Community where everyone belongs.
In the coming weeks and months, Morton Memorial will be working on how to incorporate these priorities in its mission and ministries. Return here to see how the church is building a stronger faith community with the Holy Spirit and these priorities.
