On August 20, 2026, at 6:30 pm, Rev. Hoffman will convene a special called Church Conference to consider the candidacy of member Joe Brookins.  In the United Methodist Church, when a certified candidate for ministry is presented to the Church Conference, the congregation has the responsibility to discern and affirm the candidate's gifts, character, call to ministry, and evidence of fruitful service.  The vote is not merely procedural but reflects the church's role in recognizing and supporting God's call. All members are eligible and encouraged to participate in this congregational vote.  By voting to recommend and support the candidate, the church conference expresses confidence in the individual's readiness to continue the candidacy process and commits to encouraging, nurturing, and praying for the candidate throughout their journey toward ordained or licensed ministry.
