Bishop's Appeal 2025

Ac 2025 Banner Bishop Appeal

 

This year's appeal will provide grants to churches that have divised innovative ways of doing outreach.

In their book A Way Out of No Way: An Approach to Christian Innovation, Stephen Lewis and Kimberly Daniel explore how Christians can innovate using practices rooted in our faith. They write, “A playful ‘what if?’ approach to imagining and refining ideas is necessary to develop, support, and amplify solutions that matter to everyday people given that the stakes are high.”

We are in a time where “what if?” kinds of questions are more important than ever and our congregations and communities must begin to imagine, innovate, and foster creative ways of nurture, outreach, and witness.

To encourage this kind of innovation and experimentation, this year’s appeal will encourage churches to leave their buildings and find new ways to engage with their communities.

Encourage your church to take an offering for the Bishop's Appeal. Bring your congregation’s donation to Annual Conference for the Tuesday collection or donate online (choose Bishop's Appeal 2025: Innovative Outreach from the drop down).
