forgiving, sacrifi cial and risk-taking ways.”

through worship, prayer, and the various business requirements is to discern God’s will. 

GUIDELINES FOR HOLY CONFERENCING 

2011 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ANNUAL CONFERENCE 

BISHOP LARRY M. GOODPASTER 

Holy Conferencing is biblical and Wesleyan. Since the days of John Wesley we have been gathering in “conference” as a 

time set aside to testify, raise questions, discuss, consult, clarify, set direction, and account for the ministry of God among the 

churches and the people called Methodist. This year as we gather once again in Stuart Auditorium at Lake Junaluska, we do so 

for inspiration, testimony, conversation, discernment, vision-casting, and accountability. 

As your presiding offi cer and resident bishop, I am excited about our conference session this year and pray that God’s Spirit 

will guide and direct our time together. In preparing for our Annual Conference, I offer these basic principles as the guidelines 

that we will practice during our days together. 

• We will listen to one another in a spirit of Christian love. As conversations and discussions are held, we will 

remember to be active listeners and patient responders. 

• We will respect one another as members together in the Body of Christ, even if we disagree with an opinion or 

statement. We are not trying to win arguments but rather in sharing perspectives we are seeking God’s direction 

in our deliberations. 

• We will be careful and attentive in defi ning terms and will avoid needless use of infl ammatory words or vague 

generalizations. 

• We will not cheer, applaud, groan or grumble while others are speaking, nor at the conclusion of a statement from 

a sister or brother. Conference is not a political convention or staged theater. 

• We will conduct ourselves at all times in the Spirit of Jesus the Christ, and will seek the Way of Jesus in what we 

do and how we do it. 

• We will be ready at appropriate times to enter into a time of prayer which may involve silence, centering, and/or 

verbal prayers. 

Robert’s Rules of Order is the standard operating process for conducting the business of our Annual Conference, along with 

the Rules of Order and Procedure which can be found at the back of our 2011 Programs and Reports Book. Within the broad, 

permissive ‘rules’ the following procedures will be followed in our discussions and deliberations. 

• To speak on the fl oor of the conference, a lay or clergy member must be seated within the bar of the conference 

and be wearing a name tag. Those wishing to speak to a matter are to remain in their seats, raise their hand, and, 

upon recognition, proceed to the microphone designated by the bishop. 

• When speaking, every person must state their name, local church, and district. 

• Each person is allowed three (3) minutes to speak. The bishop and conference secretary will alert the speaker 

when 30 seconds remain. 

• In deliberations around a motion, resolution, petition, or report, after two (2) speeches have been heard in favor of 

the item and two (2) speeches have been heard in opposition to the item, the presiding offi cer will ‘test the body’ 

to determine if we are ready to proceed to a vote. 

APPROVAL OF AGENDA: The conference secretary moved that the Supplement to Program and Reports pages 5-6 constitute 

the offi cial agenda of the 2011 conference session and it was approved. 

REPORTS OF BOARDS AND AGENCIES: The conference secretary moved and the conference approved that the reports of 

the conference boards and agencies as printed in the Program and Reports booklet and the Supplement be ordered to record 

insofar as they do not require conference action and provided that conference agencies be permitted to fi le late reports and/or 

corrections no later than June 19, 2011. 

GREETINGS TO THOSE MEMBERS ABSENT: The conference secretary moved and the conference approved that any action 

concerning conference members unable to attend because of illness or other family emergency be given directly to the conference 

secretary, and that the secretary write these absent members expressing the greetings and prayer concern of the conference.

SECRETARIAL STAFF: The conference secretary nominated the following persons as members of the conference secretarial

White, Jr. (Denny) and the Rev. Dr. W. T. Medlin, Jr. as conference secretary emeriti. 

CONFERENCE CHANCELLOR: Bishop Goodpaster nominated James C. Windham, Jr., a member at Myers Memorial Church 

in Gastonia, as conference chancellor. He was elected. The bishop expressed words of gratitude for Windham’s service and 

counsel for the conference. 

CONFERENCE RULES AND PLAN OF ORGANIZATION: The Rev. Kimberly T. Ingram, conference secretary, presented several 

amendments to the Plan of Organization and Rules of Order and Procedure and the conference approved the changes as 

amended by the required two-thirds vote in each instance. The changes were editorial corrections, required changes to be in 

compliance with the The Book of Discipline, to remove repetition and rules already covered by either The Book of Discipline 

or Robert’s Rules of Order, and to confi rm best practices and procedures already in practice in the annual conference. 

Conversation about the Rules and Plan of Organization included the following: 

• Kathy FitzJefferies asked why there were no longer three at-large members of the Justice and Reconciliation Team. The Rev. 

Ingram responded. FitzJefferies moved that the three members-at-large be restored to the Justice and Reconciliation Team 

and the addition was approved. 

• Philip Wingeier-Rayo asked a question and the Rev. Ingram responded. Bishop Goodpaster noted would be revisited next year. 

• The Rev. Margaret Nunez asked a question about the organization of the Board of Ordained Ministry. The Rev. Ingram 

responded that The Book of Discipline sets the make-up of the Board of Ordained Ministry. 

• Carol Hardy asked what is the intent of the fi rst sentence in the Justice and Reconciliation statement? The bishop responded 

and said the grammatical error would be corrected. 

• Michele Austin asked why the Conference Prayer Advocate for the Board of the Laity was left blank? The Rev. Ingram 

responded. Austin moved that the Conference Prayer Advocate position be restored to the organization of the Board of Laity 

and the addition was approved. 

The approved Plan of Organization and Rules of Order and Procedure can be found in Section VII.

on Finance and Administration to two petitions [2010 petitions 23 and 24] referred to these committees at the 2010 session 

of the annual conference. These two petitions both requested the end of direct billing for clergy health benefi ts and pension 

payments and the resumption of apportioned payment of these items. Edwards outlined the research and conclusion that the 

annual conference could not fi nancially sustain itself with a resumption of apportioned payments for clergy health benefi ts and 

pensions. Therefore, the recommendation is to continue direct billing for clergy health and pension benefi ts and not to support 

the motions of either petition 23 or 24 from the 2010 session of the annual conference. The Rev. Harry Andrews asked a 

question and the bishop responded. (The petitions and rationale can be found in this edition of the Journal on page 208.) The 

bishop noted that discussion and a vote is on the agenda for Friday morning.

PROPOSAL TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DISTRICTS: Bishop Goodpaster presented a rationale for the proposal to reduce the 

number of districts from 15 districts to 8 districts, ostensibly to reduce costs to the annual conference. 

The Proposal as printed in the Supplement follows: 

“A Path into the Future” 

A Proposal from Bishop Larry Goodpaster 

The Mission of The United Methodist Church: 

“To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world” (2008 Book of Discipline). 

The Challenge of the Call to Action of The United Methodist Church: 

“Redirect the fl ow of attention, energy, and resources of The United Methodist Church to an intense concentration on 

fostering and sustaining an increase in the number of vital congregations effective in making disciples of Jesus Christ for the 

transformation of the world.” 

A Vision for Our Western North Carolina Conference: 

To fulfi ll our mission, respond to the challenge, and achieve our goals, the WNCC must cultivate and increase the number of 

healthy, vital churches which are missional in outlook and thriving in ministry.


Our Current Reality 

Within the Western North Carolina Conference, business as usual and fear of change has led to stagnation. If we keep 

doing the same thing we have always done, we will keep getting the same results: stagnant membership, dwindling worship 

attendance, aging congregations, and continuing fi nancial shortfalls all of which compromise the mission of the church. The 

immediate challenge that confronts us is to build a future with hope and a bold faithfulness that resets our fi nancial baseline. 

“A Path into the Future” 

This proposal turns the energy and resources of our WNC conference toward increasing the number of vital missional 

churches. It calls for a radical and strategic intervention that takes seriously the economic reality of this present time, 

implements a realignment of conference staff and resources with the mission, and revisions the role and responsibility of the 

district superintendent. It sets the stage to redesign the system of relationships between churches and districts so that the task 

making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world will be the primary focus at every level of the church. 

The leadership of the conference must remain singularly focused on the mission. We must move away from institutional maintenance 

and toward the mission of making disciples and transforming the world through vital, healthy churches. We believe that the 

organization and structure exists to support, sustain, and strengthen local churches, and to extend the mission in the world. 

• Vital local churches engage in ministries in the local community and in the world. 

• Vital local churches transform lives and neighborhoods driven by and inspired by God’s love and our Wesleyan experience 

of personal and social holiness. 

• Vital local churches network and connect with other vital churches and jointly make a difference in the world. 

• Vital local churches support and undergird the broader visions of the conference and a structure where the focus is not on 

sustaining administrative bureaucracy but on making disciples. 

Above all, we must ignite the passion in the hearts of clergy and lay leadership in such a way that the urgency of the mission 

outweighs the desire for institutional survival. In the Wesleyan tradition, we need many more warm hearts and servant leaders 

living out the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Proposal for First Steps “Into the Future” 

For the 2011-2012 Conference year, the Western North Carolina Conference will maintain the current 15 Districts. During 

this year, the superintendents and staff will continue to expand and build upon the work already begun, with more attention and 

energy being given to a coaching and consulting model that has already started in some churches and districts. 

Action Item: 

After consultation with superintendents and leaders of the conference, the bishop proposes, supports, and challenges 

the conference with this plan: At the 2011 session of the Western North Carolina Conference, the WNCC will reduce the 

number of Districts to 8 beginning in July 2012, and fully operational no later than January 2013. 

Rationale: 

(1) Frees and turns resources toward the vision of cultivating vital, missional churches, and (2) resets the fi nancial 

baseline of the conference so that we can develop a durable and sustainable future for mission and ministry across 

Western North Carolina and the world. 

If the proposal for a reduction in the number of districts is approved, the bishop will name a Transition Team to assist 

in drawing the lines and designing a plan of organization which will support, sustain, and strengthen local churches. The 

transition team will include a balance of lay, clergy, male and female members of the annual conference, will represent both 

small and large churches, and will refl ect the ethnic and socio-economic diversity of the conference. At least one-half of the 

Transition Team will be composed of the delegates elected by the Annual Conference to serve at the General and Jurisdictional 

Conferences. 

A Preliminary Picture and Initial Design Questions 

In beginning to think about what the future might look like with fewer districts, several ideas will be explored, evaluated, and 

discussed. Some of the initial questions may include, but not be limited to: 

• What if district superintendents worked strategically on those issues and concerns that are urgent for the mission? What 

if superintendents networked with clergy and lay leaders to teach, inspire, and equip local churches toward becoming 

missional communities? What if superintendents invested more of their time and energy on “spiritual and pastoral 

leadership” (420) than on “administration” (423)? 

• What if our rethinking districts and the role of superintendents leads to behavioral change that is needed to bring an 

intentional focus on developing vital, missional churches? 

• What if we created a network of “presiding elders” who work with the district superintendent in small geographic regions 

of each district? What if these elders networked with 6-8 churches in an area to advance the mission, evaluate ministries, 

and develop cooperative efforts to serve Christ in that area? What if these elders assisted the district superintendent in 

supervisory and performance evaluations with groups and clusters of churches and clergy? 

• What if we created Regional Church Transformation Teams (trained by Plowpoint Ministries) to work with congregations as 

they move toward becoming vital churches, transforming confl ict, and/or engaging in strategic visioning and planning? 

• What if we “reset the fi nancial baseline” of the conference that prioritizes our fi nancial resources in ways that move us from 

supporting an institutional, maintenance model to fully committed followers devoted to the mission of Jesus in the world? 

CONFERENCE DISCUSSION: 

The Rev. Thomas A. (Andy) Langford moved that the Western North Carolina Annual Conference reduce the number of districts

128 


from fi fteen districts to eight districts beginning in July of 2012 and fully operational no later than January 2013. Following a

The purpose of the Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) is “to develop, maintain, and administer a comprehensive 

and coordinated plan of fi scal and administrative policies, procedures, and management services for the annual conference” 

( 612.1, 2008 Discipline). The council has adopted this theme for its work: 

EMPOWERING FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP 

Receipts on all funds for 2010 were $12,012,986 or 84.69% of the total apportioned. The 2010 payout was 7% percent 

greater than 2009. The overall 2012 apportioned budget totals $14,353,102. The 2012 Budget was set with a priority of living 

within the limits of the contributions from the churches; thusly, reducing the budget by $56,154 from 2011 and creating a 

contingency fund to absorb shortfalls in contributions that lead to defi cit spending. These two steps were central in the planning 

of the Council toward good stewardship and consistent funding of conference ministries. 

The Council sees itself as joining with the local church in the work of the fi nancial ministry of the annual conference. We 

commend the 2012 budget to the conference. It represents the uniqueness and depth of ministries and missions provided by 

our church while acknowledging the economic realities of our conference. The Vision and Goals Fund represents the best efforts 

of the Connectional Table to fund the ministry priorities of the Conference. In order to accomplish funding the Power of 3 

priorities, some 2011 funding has been re-focused. The Council believes the total budget commended to you is both affordable 

and focused on accomplishing the priorities of the conference. 

The Council urges every local church to live into the connectional nature of our ministry by striving to pay 100% of the funds 

apportionment to them. We commend those 822 churches in the conference who have fully supported the connectional 

ministry of the church, sometimes at great sacrifi ce; and we encourage the other 292 churches to take a step toward full 

support in the coming year. Paying 100% of apportioned funds moves us from maintenance to our ministry of “following Jesus 

Christ for the transformation of the world.” 

The Council received with regret on Nov. 3, 2010 the resignation of William C. Wyman, Jr. as Conference Treasurer 

effective June 1, 2011. In accordance with 619, 2008 Book of Discipline, the council has elected Jennifer L. Burton, 

as conference treasurer beginning June 1, 2011. 

PROPOSALS: 2012 CONFERENCE FUNDS AND FINANCIAL POLICIES 


The Council on Finance and Administration proposes: 

1. That each of the funds described in the section of this report headed “Conference Funds for 2012” be approved and that 

the traditional decimal formula be used in determining the apportionments for 2012 for each mission or chartered church/ 

charge for these funds: 

District Superintendents’ Fund 

Equitable Compensation Fund 

Incapacity Insurance Support 

Conference Support Fund 

Vision and Goals Fund 

Africa University Fund 

Black College Fund 

Episcopal Fund 

General Administration Fund 

Interdenominational Cooperation Fund 

Jurisdictional Administration Fund 

Lake Junaluska Dam and Lake Restoration Fund 

Ministerial Education Fund 

World Service Fund 

The decimal formula shall be based on the average of the amounts paid by each mission or chartered church/charge during 

2008, 2009, and 2010 on the following items: 

Items from Table Two of the year-end reports (Stat Table) 

Total Conference Apportioned Funds Paid (40b) 

Pastor(s) Health Insurance Premiums (52) 

Salaries, Housing, Utilities, Travel, and Other Cash Allowances Paid to Pastor and Associate(s) (51, 53-57) 

Compensation of Deacon(s)/Diaconal Minister(s) (58-59) 

Compensation of All Other Church Employees (60) 

Local Church Expenses for Program (61) 

Other Local Church Operating Expenses (62)

204 


2. That the following policy be approved and observed: 

At the beginning of the calendar year, the Council on Finance and Administration shall determine which portions of the 

Conference Support Fund (Fund 505) and the Vision and Goals Fund (Fund 508) are “fi xed costs” (salaries, benefi ts, etc.) 

and shall thus be authorized to be paid at 100% of the approved budget. On the basis of prior-year receipts to these funds, 

the council shall then determine a percentage of the approved budget to be authorized for expenditure in the remaining 

items of each budget, so that expenditures shall not exceed income. 

a. Each church is expected to support all funds at 100% of the apportioned amount. 

( 247.14 of the 2008 Book of Discipline) 

b. The churches are requested to make payments thereon aggregately, with the understanding that the conference treasurer 

will allocate such payments according to the appropriate percentage due the fund according to the Conference Budget. 

3. That an Unrestricted Fund Balance Account be maintained by the annual conference at a level of 20% of the current total of 

the Conference Funds and that any undesignated interest income plus unused balances in budget accounts be transferred 

to the undesignated fund balance at the end of the fi scal year. 

4. That all apportioned funds, pension and health benefi ts costs, both receipts and disbursements, be managed through the offi ce of 

the conference treasurer and that all boards, agencies, committees, and commissions use the conference treasurer as fi scal agent. 

5. That the group medical insurance plan be continued and that all churches be asked to participate through the payment of 

premiums through the offi ce of the conference treasurer. 

6. That local churches be reminded that the discontinuance of prior claims funding, effective Jan. 1, 2007, for the Equitable 

Compensation Fund, Pension and Benefi ts Fund, Episcopal Fund, and District Superintendents’ Fund does not relieve the 

churches from their obligation to observe the rule of proportional payment ( 622 and 639.4, 2008 Discipline), and that 

638.4(c) be observed by the statistician in reporting apportionments and payments to the Pension and Benefi ts Fund. 

7. That for 2011 and beyond, the Conference Staff Relations Committee (CSRC) set the salary and benefi ts (including 

clergy housing) for district superintendents and Conference Memorial Center personnel within the approved total salary 

budget. The budget for the District Superintendent Fund was prepared using the conference staff-relations committee’s 

recommended salary of $94,700. 

8. That all agencies receiving funds from the conference budget shall affi rm that those funds will not be expended for the use of 

alcoholic beverages or to promote acceptance of homosexuality in violation of 613.19 and .20 of The Book of Discipline (2008). 

9. That the amount of compensation designated as housing allowance for ordained staff members and district superintendents 

of the conference be set by an annual resolution of the conference Council on Finance and Administration after 

consideration of a statement of amounts to be used during the year. 

10. That church-related travel expenses of all members of conference boards, agencies, committees, and commissions; 

conference staff; district superintendents; and local church clergy be paid by voucher on a mileage basis at the amount 

allowed the Internal Revenue Service. This will be considered as a church-related business item and will not be factored into 

any compensation package by the Cabinet. 

11. That the governing boards of: 

Aldersgate United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc. 

Arbor Acres United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc. 

Givens Estates United Methodist Retirement Community, Inc. 

The Children’s Home, Inc. 

UMAR-WNC, Inc. 

The United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina, Inc. 

Camp Tekoa 

Bennett College for Women 

Brevard College 

Greensboro College 

High Point University 

Pfeiffer University 

Western North Carolina Conference Brotherhood/Sisterhood 

Western North Carolina Conference Historical Society 

United Methodist Deaf Ministry-WNC, Inc. 

Potter’s Touch Counseling Center, Asheville 

Methodist Counseling Center, Charlotte 

Chrysalis Counseling Center, Greensboro 

Disciple Bible Outreach Ministry of NC, Inc. 

New Faith Communities Fund, Board of Congregational Development 

be granted the privilege of soliciting and receiving funds from churches, individuals, and other sources (but not from conferencewide 

offerings except as indicated in the list which follows) in keeping with The Book of Discipline; no capital campaigns be 

approved for 2012; and that the following, and only the following, conference-wide offerings be approved for 2012: 

Human Relations Day .....................................................................................................................General Conference 

UMAR Sunday ................................................................................................................................ Annual Conference 

One Great Hour of Sharing ............................................................................................................General Conference 

Native American Awareness .........................................................................................................General Conference

Children’s Home Sunday ................................................................................................................. Annual Conference 

World Communion .........................................................................................................................General Conference 

United Methodist Student Day ......................................................................................................General Conference 

12. That clergy be reimbursed for moving expenses in the following manner, effective upon adjournment of the 2011 conference 

session: 

a. IN-CONFERENCE MOVES: The conference shall pay $500, plus $2.50 per mile, on those moves which are required as pastors 

are moved from one appointment to a new appointment, on a one-way basis. 

b. MOVES INTO THE CONFERENCE: The conference shall pay on the same basis as in item 12a above. The moving allowance 

will apply to the number of miles on the most direct route traveled from the conference boundary to the pastoral appointment. 

c. MOVING AT RETIREMENT: Retiring clergy, surviving spouses of active clergy who died during the year, and clergy who go on 

incapacity leave during the year shall receive a moving allowance of $750, plus $2.50 per mile, from the pastoral 

appointment to the retirement residence or the conference boundary. A retiree who moves to a parsonage and serves a 

pastorate in retirement is eligible for an in-conference moving allowance upon approval of the district superintendent. 

d. MOVES OUT OF THE CONFERENCE (moving to another conference, withdrawing from conference membership, leave of 

absence, etc.): No allowance will be paid. 

e. SABBATICAL LEAVE: No allowance is granted when the leave begins; however, an allowance will be given when the leave is 

completed and the clergy person is again available for appointment by the bishop. The amount will be consistent with items 

12a and 12b above. 

f. In many instances, the moving allowance will not cover the total expense of the move. This re-imbursement is given to help 

with the over-the-road cost of the move. Each church/charge receiving a new pastor is strongly urged to pay any out-ofpocket 

expenses incurred by the new pastor as a result of the move. The district superintendent will negotiate the request 

with the church/charge well in advance of moving day. 

g. The district superintendent is asked to make a very special appeal that each church/charge be especially sensitive to both 

parsonage families during this stressful time. The appeal should include assistance with meals, packing, unpacking, loading, 

and unloading where helpful and appropriate for the parsonage family. 

13. That the president, vice-president, and secretary of the conference Council on Finance and Administration, the chairperson 

of the Audit Review Committee, the conference treasurer-director of administrative services, a Cabinet representative, and 

one lay member of the CFA constitute the executive committee of the conference Council on Finance and Administration. The 

principal duties of the Executive Committee include: annual review, compensation and benefi ts of the Conference 

Treasurer, and review and recommendation to Council all Statements of Relationship for ministries relating to the Conference, 

14. That the Council on Finance and Administration be authorized to appoint a conference auditor. 

15. That each local church make a very special effort to undergird the meal, transportation, and lodging expenses of annual 

conference members in attending annual conference by adding a minimum of $100 to the church budget for each lay and 

clergy delegate. The district superintendents are asked to encourage such support at each charge conference. 

16. That conference funds not be permitted to carry over unspent funds from one conference year to another unless specifi cally 

authorized by the Council on Finance and Administration. Agencies receiving funds from sources other than apportioned funds, 

such as fee-based events, may carry over such unspent funds into the next year. 

17. That 3:00 P.M., Friday, Jan. 6, 2012, be the cutoff time by which all payments from local churches must be in the offi ce 

of the conference treasurer in order to be applied to the 2011 year. 

18. That each conference board, agency, or institution receiving or disbursing funds not managed by the conference treasurer 

maintain adequate fi nancial records and prepare and submit annual audit reports to the conference treasurer and the 

conference Council on Finance and Administration. All treasurers should be properly bonded. 

19. That the conference fi scal year begin on Jan. 1, 2012, and end on Dec. 31, 2012. 

20. That the conference Council on Finance and Administration be responsible for designating depositories for conference funds. 

21. That the Council received with regret on Nov. 3, 2010, the resignation of William C. Wyman, Jr. as Conference Treasurer 

effective June 1, 2011. The Council immediately created a Search Committee and established a rigorous process seeking 

candidates for the position. Several very qualifi ed persons offered themselves to the process over the fi ve month period and 

on March 18, 2011, one was chosen and elected. 

22. In accordance with 619, 2008 Book of Discipline, the council has elected Jennifer L. Burton, as conference treasurer 

beginning June 1, 2011. Further, the Council nominates Jennifer L. Burton to the 2011 session of the Annual Conference, to 

be elected to the offi ce of Conference Treasurer/Director of Administrative Services for the remainder of this quadrennial term.

2. REPORT OF CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION AND 

THE BOARD OF PENSION AND HEALTH BENEFITS, 

WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE, THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 

REGARDING PETITIONS 23 AND 24 REFERRED FROM THE 2010 ANNUAL CONFERENCE 

(See VII. L., page 52, for 2011 Pension and Health Benefi ts Report) 

The following is a report of the Conference Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) and The Board of Pension and 

Health Benefi ts (BOPHB) of the Western North Carolina Conference, The United Methodist Church regarding Petitions 23 and 24 

referred from the 2010 Annual Conference. Both CFA and the Pension Board have studied the impact of Petitions 23 and 24 and 

determined the effect to be adverse to the fi nancial viability and health of the Western North Carolina Conference. The rationale 

for the determination follows: 

Section One: Background Information and Rationale 

The CFA and the BOPHB understand that increasing clergy support costs (salary and benefi ts) are a cause of concern for 

many of our local churches, threatening the future viability of many of our current appointments. But a careful review of some 

historical data and projections about the impact of adoption of either Petition 23 or 24 would have on the Conference lead us to 

the conclusion that adoption of either would have a detrimental effect on the entire Annual Conference. 

• The cost of clergy health benefi ts has always been directly invoiced to the local church or salary-paying unit where 

the clergy person is appointed. 

• Prior to 2005, the Annual Conference apportioned the full cost of clergy pensions to churches or salary-paying units 

based on the decimal formula. 

• In 2002, the Annual Conference began to see a signifi cant increase in the defi cit position of the Annual Conference, 

illustrated in chart #1. This was largely due to increasing shortfalls in the payment of Conference apportionments 

for pension costs. 

Since 2009, clergy benefi ts have been funded at virtually 100% each year. The Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts has 

been able to meet every obligation and maintain adequate reserves for such economic times as we now fi nd ourselves. 

The funding plan was designed to address certain issues: 

• Earnings on Conference pension reserve funds had been almost non-existent in recent years. 

• The Conference pension and health benefi t costs were expected to increase and to be borne by those using the 

benefi ts. 

• The Conference does not have any control over pension costs and very little over increasing health benefi t claims 

in our self-funded plan. The Annual Conference is obligated by The Book of Discipline to pay the pension cost in 

full. (2008 Book of Discipline, 1507: Financing Pensions and Benefi t Programs – The annual conference shall be 

responsible for annually providing moneys in the amount necessary to meet the requirements of the pension and 

benefi t funds, plans, and programs of the conference.) 

• The Conference could not continue to absorb defi cits in pension collections without facing the prospect of 

insolvency. Chart #2 illustrates the trend of mounting Conference defi cits was reversed by direct invoicing of 

benefi ts.


SECTION TWO: GUIDING THEMES AND IMPLEMENTATION 

Direct Costing 

The underlying theme behind Direct Costing is that costs should be borne where they are incurred. For clergy benefi t 

costs, including health care and pension support, the cost should be borne at the level of the salary-paying unit. The Annual 

Conference believes that fi nancial viability of local congregations should be a core value of the conference. Direct costing fairly 

presents the true cost of ministry and ministerial deployment throughout the Conference and will only encourage fi nancially 

viable churches, districts, and ministries. 

True clergy cost includes salary, housing and related costs, travel, continuing education, health insurance, and pension 

support. The Western North Carolina Conference has always allocated directly to the churches the health insurance premium 

for active clergy. Like health insurance, clergy pension costs are a benefi t cost of assigning clergy to local churches/charges and 

extension ministries. 

Shortcomings of Apportioning Clergy Benefit Costs 

The Conference had operated successfully for years employing an apportionment system with current clergy pension costs 

shared connectionally. The plan was thoughtfully and intentionally constructed so that larger churches could help smaller 

churches. There were fewer clergy appointed to churches on a full-time basis, and more multi-church charges. It was also at 

a time when benefi t costs were far lower in proportion to the local church and Conference budgets, and apportionments were 

viewed and explained to local congregations as missional in nature. 

In 2004 the system of apportioning pension costs based on the decimal formula was found to have several short comings in 

today’s environment: 

• The apportionment system disguised the real cost of clergy compensation. 

• Pension costs were increasing dramatically and approached 33% of the Conference budget, thus diluting the 

missional character of the apportionment system. 

• A detailed study of the relationship between actual pension costs and apportioned pension costs revealed that, for 

many churches in the conference, the amount apportioned for pensions was signifi cantly less than the actual cost 

of the benefi t, while, in other cases, the amount apportioned far exceeded the actual cost of the benefi t. 

• The apportionment system penalized congregations with expanding ministries by assigning apportionments 

that grew faster than the local budget and the Conference budget. This strained the ability of the local church to 

continue to grow ministry at the local level. 

• The system of apportioning clergy pension costs did not encourage churches to be fi nancially viable. Financially 

viable churches are able to support themselves and generally have revenues suffi cient to cover the costs of 

resources consumed. 

Implementation 

With adoption of the new funding strategy, the 2004 session of the Annual Conference recognized the following by moving to 

direct clergy costing of benefi ts: 

• Apportionments were our way of being in mission together. Rising clergy benefi t costs meant this is no longer true. 

• Implementation of direct clergy pension funding gave each local church the ability to know the full cost of pastoral 

compensation. 

• Direct funding of clergy benefi ts gave each church the opportunity to accurately view how it used its fi nancial 

resources in terms of its mission.

210 


• The direct clergy pension cost is the actual pension cost associated with your active pastor(s), based on the CRSP/ 

CPP plans and minimal related administrative costs. That is the support amount expected of every congregation 

and every salary-paying unit. 

• In the end, we are stronger because we are viable fi nancially, at the local church level and across the conference. 

SECTION THREE: BROAD REVIEW AND EFFECTIVENESS 

Chart #3 clearly shows the impact of the Direct Costing/Direct Billing of clergy pension costs. The payout rate under the 

direct cost/direct bill method has resulted in a virtual 100% payout of clergy benefi ts, and any non-payments continue to be 

collected in subsequent years. By 2007 the Annual Conference had no unplanned defi cit funding, with the exception of the 

economic collapse of 2008. 

Clearly, the impact of the Direct Costing/Direct Billing method has been to stabilize the clergy benefi t collection system, and 

to eliminate the need for Conference reserves to cover mounting defi cits.


SECTION FOUR: PROJECTED IMPACT OF THE ADOPTION OF PETITION 23 AND/OR PETITION 24 

Chart #4 illustrates what the effect on Conference fund balance would have been if the apportionment method had 

continued from 2007 through 2012. To change the method of funding from direct costing back to a decimal apportionment 

would not be fi nancially viable and would be unsupportable by the Annual Conference. Our projections of how such a move 

would impact the fi nancial health of the Conference indicate that the Conference would reach insolvency in a period of less than 

four years. During that time, unrestricted Conference reserves would be consumed, and there would be no funding mechanism 

for anything beyond the collection of clergy benefi t costs. 

What would happen next? Here are two possibilities, neither of which would be in the best interest of the Annual Conference, 

its member churches, or its clergy. 

Scenario 1 - Elimination of Clergy Health Benefi ts. 

• With the Conference no longer able to pay for the benefi t, active clergy would be left to fi nd their own source of 

coverage and to be responsible for 100% of the cost. 

• While some clergy would undoubtedly receive support from their local churches, this would be a crippling burden to 

most clergy. 

• The possibility of a system with some receiving health benefi t support and others receiving nothing will put 

enormous strains on the appointive system. There is a clear benefi t to clergy sharing benefi t equality. 

Scenario 2 - Signifi cant Reduction in Clergy 

• With the Conference unable to raise adequate funding of clergy benefi t systems via the decimal apportionment, the 

Conference will be forced to shrink the pool of available clergy to a number which can be afforded by the payment 

of the apportionment. This will be a declining number every year until we reach a threshold where fi nancially viable 

churches are able to pay the apportioned benefi ts. 

Conclusion 

During these periods of fi nancial constraint, the direct billing method has proven to be trustworthy, effi cient, and suffi cient to 

support the Conference clergy benefi ts. 

While adoption of either petition 23 or 24 might appear to be in the best interests of some churches in the conference, 

the reality is that many churches would be faced with a choice of signifi cantly having to cut programs and reducing staff at 

local levels to meet the challenge of any return to an apportionment method of funding, or choosing not to sacrifi ce the staff, 

programs and ministry at the local church level and not fully pay their apportionments. Table #1 shows how the cost shift will 

effect the operating costs of various churches. 

• This “negative effect” of increased costs would not only affect larger membership churches, but would also pass 

along signifi cant costs to many of our smallest membership churches who currently have no clergy benefi t costs 

assigned to them because the persons now serving them are not eligible. Table #2 shows how many churches with 

little or no benefi t cost now will have large increases in their apportionment costs.

Petitions 23 and 24 from the 2010 Conference Journal , Page 274 

PETITION 23 

Subject: Benefits Apportioned 

Submitted by: Evelyn Kent, Annual Conference delegate for Burke Chapel-Mt. Harmony Charge, Marion District 

Text: Whereas, The United Methodist Church is a connectional institution sharing equally the burdens and joys of ministering to 

God’s creation; and 

Whereas, a ministry our conference provides to our pastors is pension and health insurance; and 

Whereas, unlike other administrative and ministerial operations within the conference, pension and health insurance are 

billed as a fl at fee to all churches regardless of size; and 

Whereas, this fl at fee places an unevenly heavy yoke upon the smaller congregations; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That, the Western NC Conference adopts a policy of apportioned pension and health insurance by taking the total 

amount of the annual cost of pension and health insurance for our conference and divides it among all the churches having a 

pastor eligible for pension and health insurance in a proportional manner to the size of the church. 

Resolved, That though the formula will be different from other apportionments due to some churches not having an 

eligible pastor, the process in determining the size of the church and its apportioned cost should be the same as ordinary 

apportionments. 

Resolved, That though the amount paid by each church will be different, pension and health insurance should be billed 

separate from apportionments.

Text: Whereas, when each church is responsible for contributing an apportionment (fair portion) for ministries, our collective 

giving spreads the Good News of Jesus Christ into all the world; and 

Whereas, apportionments are a fair way to share the cost of ministries and gives all of our churches opportunities to be in 

mission in our communities and the world; and 

Whereas, the cost of providing health insurance and pension benefi ts for pastors has increased greatly and placed a heavy 

burden on churches because they are paying for clergy benefi ts directly rather than a fair portion (apportionment) of the cost; and 

Whereas, available funds in our churches are decreasing due to the severe economic conditions in our country and 

throughout the world; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church include clergy health insurance and pension 

benefi ts in conference apportionments.

B. CONNECTIONAL TABLE 

Since its formation at the 2009 session of the Western NC Conference, the Connectional Table has continued to be a place 

of conversation, visioning, planning, and collaboration with the members who represent the ministries and activities of the 

church. During the past conference year, the Connectional Table has met four times across the conference, often beginning on 

Friday evening and continuing through lunch time on Saturday to complete its work. 

At its October meeting, members began the process of reviewing and discussing the leadership roles and responsibilities 

to staff, plan, and lead the conference for the 21 st century. The Connectional Leadership Team (formerly called and named in 

The Book of Discipline as “the cabinet”) continues with its responsibilities as assigned in 419-425 of The Book of Discipline, 

appointment-making, and accountability for the spiritual health and vitality of our churches. Additionally, it remains responsible 

for other matters of business relating to church and/or district property, and for maintaining their role as the connecting link 

between the local church and denomination. This group, comprised of the bishop, the assistant to the bishop, and the district 

superintendents, meets on a monthly basis. 

The Conference Resource Team has as its membership the following conference staff persons: The bishop, the directors 

of Discipleship Ministry, Congregational Development, Ministerial Services, Communication, and Administrative Services; 

Conference Treasurer, President and Senior Vice-President of Leadership Development for the United Methodist Foundation, 

and the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries. This group, which also meets monthly, is charged with the responsibility of 

resourcing, training, and equipping local churches for ministry, sustaining and expanding the conference vision, administering 

the conference vision and goals budget, and helping to lead the Conference Connectional Table. 

The Missional Leadership Team consists of members of the Connectional Leadership Team, Conference Resource Team, 

and the Conference Lay Leader. This group meets on a bi-monthly basis and is responsible for the collaborative work among 

conference teams to equip clergy and laity in creating vital churches, following Jesus Christ, and making disciples for the 

transformation of the world. 

Subsequent meetings of the Connectional Table have focused on understanding and communicating across the conference 

what it means to be a missional and vital congregation in the midst of a broken world and our struggling communities. Much 

time and effort has been expended to ensure that, even during a time of diminished and declining fi nancial resources, the Vision 

and Goals Budget for 2012 is aligned with the conference vision and ministry priorities. 

This conference year has continued to be a time of education, growth and relationship building as we plan the work of the 

Western North Carolina Annual Conference. We eagerly embrace the hope of our future, which is in Christ Jesus, as we continue 

our work by focusing on making disciples of Jesus Christ for the purpose of transforming our world. 

Jennifer Davis, Robert Upchurch, and Larry M. Goodpaster, Co-Chairpersons 

1. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT TEAM 

The Purpose of the Leadership Development Team is “To grow the capacity of leaders to Follow Jesus, Make Disciples, 

and Transform the World.” This team desires to help shape a culture that promotes and supports courageous leaders in 

life-long fruitful ministry. The team will promote leadership excellence among congregational ministers (both clergy and lay 

professionals). In conjunction with Conference youth and young adult initiatives, the team will also champion the development 

of the future leaders of the church. Finally, the team will encourage congregational ministers in the development of leadership 

among the laity within their congregation. 

Formed in 2009 as a part of the Connectional Table, the Leadership Development Team provides input to the Connectional 

Table on leadership development initiatives in the Western NC Conference, including recommendations on budget requests 

related to leadership development. The Leadership Development Team also convenes leadership development service providers 

for information sharing. Additionally, the Leadership Development Team is creating a process to support the professional 

development of congregational leaders.

2. CONGREGATIONAL VITALITY TEAM 

The Congregational Vitality team is accountable for the revitalization of 300 churches – one of the conference’s “Power of 3” 

goals. Embedded in this mission is the intention for our churches to be VITAL: 

• Vision: eagerly following a compelling, prayerfully-discerned vision from God. 

• Inspirational and Incarnational: inspirational worship that connects people with God through Jesus Christ. 

Incarnational outreach to new people through strategic evangelistic and discipleship approach. 

• Transformational: members of the surrounding communities can give testimonies to the life-transforming witness 

and ministries of the local congregation. 

• Adaptive: ability to adapt to the changes in the parish and seeing change as opportunity for ministry. 

• Loving: gladly sharing the love of Jesus Christ through missions, ministries, and as a community of love and 

forgiveness. 

The Congregational Vitality team has been working with the cabinet, the district Boards of Congregational Development, and 

the Connectional Table to promote and share best practices of vital churches in our conference and beyond. At the 2010 Annual 

Conference we distributed a newsletter featuring congregations and pastors who were showing signs of vitality. The team 

presented in September of 2010 to the bishop and cabinet members a Revitalization Process to use with selected churches in 

their districts. They accepted this process for their districts.

214 


Churches in this process will be encouraged to use an assessment tool and develop and implement a plan to become a 

more missional, vital church that reaches new people for Jesus Christ. John Harmeling, Jennifer Davis, Steve James and Nancy 

Rankin led training events in November of 2010 for the district Boards of Congregational Development about the Revitalization 

Process. The team is developing a new scorecard to be used by these churches. Grants are being given to districts for training 

and follow-up coaching to help the churches in the Revitalization Process. The team will be sharing best practices from these 

churches with all WNCC churches. This exciting and critical work has begun in earnest, but with much still to come . 

Nancy B. Rankin, Chairperson 

3. JUSTICE AND RECONCILIATION TEAM 

In 2010, the Justice and Reconciliation Team worked to defi ne its relationship, role, and responsibilities to the current 

conference structures, groups, and agencies; identify and understand the mission of the 13 conference groups that are 

structurally located within the Justice and Reconciliation constituency; identify conference affi liate ministries, ecumenical 

agencies, and other groups involved in justice and reconciliation; and, give input to the Connectional Table budget process. 

Goals for 2011 include developing stronger relationships with constituents; identifying resources for constituents; identifying 

communication and educational tools for the local church; and, creating strategies to integrate the work of justice and 

reconciliation into the daily life of the local church. 

Vickie Sigmon, Chairperson 

4. COMMITTEES AND TASK GROUPS 

a. CAMPING AND OUTDOOR MINISTRIES 

The annual conference is blessed to have a camping and retreat ministry which serves and support the goals and vision of 

the United Methodist Church. In a time of great economic challenges the need for places to retreat and reclaim God’s strength 

through camping are vital to making disciples and transforming the world. As you read each report, I believe you will understand 

and appreciate the work and vital ministry of our camps. 

James G. Mackey, Chairperson 

Camp McCall 

Camp McCall celebrated Dr. Charles McCall’s vision for a place to have Christian activities at a Christian place and enjoy 

God’s handiwork. Camp McCall has been around for 50 years dating back to October 1960. Dr. McCall had a vision for all, 

especially for youth, as expressed by his son, Glen, at the 50-year celebration on fun day in August. Fun Day started on Aug. 13 

with music, food, hayride and midnight football by luminaries. 

On Aug. 14, Camp McCall began early with an all-day music program provided by four adults and four youth bands, with 

famous Jack Porter providing stories during the day. Alex Alvord and John Lively, along with their family members, were also 

present. The rain did not slow indoor or outdoor activities day or night. All 250 that attended seem to have a good time. The 

Camp McCall family were recognized and presented with gifts. We also had a grilled chicken dinner on Aug. 14. 

Many volunteers worked to create this wonderful day. I would like to say, “In my heart, they are the great ones.” Carolina 

Cross Connection mission teams spent four weeks during 2010 and staff were there for eight weeks. It is always a great 

experience to work with CCC. 

Illumination mission team from Marion District, and Salem UMC, Bostic spent three days in the spring and three days each 

during the summer and fall of 2010. They are a tremendous group. This past year, 40 groups spent time at Camp McCall. One 

group called Bond Servants stayed eight nights in lodges and under tents, with guests from all parts of the U.S. 

Camp McCall’s new well was drilled in 2009, a new well house built in 2010, and many new improvements were made. 

Lakeside and waterfalls lodges are ongoing projects for 2011. Two new members joined Camp McCall’s 50/50 Boosters. 

Dr. McCall’s vision is alive and well. Persons interested in being Boosters, or who want information about Camp McCall, may 

contact Ronnie Walker, 1040 McCall Rd., Bostic, N.C. 28018; (O) 828-245-0013, (C) 828-980-3728, (H) 828-245-9790.

Mount Shepherd Retreat Center 

Mount Shepherd Retreat Center, Asheboro, North Carolina, has been described as “a diamond in the rough,” a “holy place” 

and “a Christ-centered place.” At Mount Shepherd the Board of Directors and staff work very hard to provide guests and 

campers with a place for growth, learning and fun in the name of Christ! 

Mount Shepherd is located in the geographic center of North Carolina and on the extreme eastern part of the Western North 

Carolina Conference. At the top of the “Shepherd Mountain” one can climb 162 steps up a fi re tower and see all of central North 

Carolina and, on a clear day, Pilot Mountain! 

2010 was another great year for Mount Shepherd Retreat Center as we sought and continue to seek ways to “Follow Jesus. 

Make Disciples. Transform the World.” Summer camp attendance increased by 7% over 2009 — from 685 to 733! The theme — 

“Be a Hero: Living like Jesus!” — was well received. The need for all of us to be heroes by loving God with all our heart, soul and 

mind and our neighbor as ourselves was emphasized (Matthew 22:37). 

Mount Shepherd’s website (www.mtshepherd.org) and Facebook page have drawn people to this beautiful place for retreats, 

meetings, seminars, weddings, environmental education, and refl ection. Guests in the fall, winter and spring include youth 

groups, adult groups and school groups. By the end of 2010 Mount Shepherd had hosted at 73 groups (excluding summer camp). 

Mount Shepherd Retreat Center continues to grow and serve. We ask that you keep this beautiful place in your prayers. 

Kent Shrader, Director


Camp GuilRock 

Camp GuilRock has been very busy during 2010 with over 6000 visitors to our campus in southern Rockingham County. 

During 2010, our Board of Directors adopted a new mission statement that reads: “The mission of GuilRock United Methodist 

Camp, Inc. is to build a base camp for retreat, recreation and service, founded on Christian ministry and with emphasis on 

nature conservation, as we discover Creation, experience God, and grow in Faith.” 

We anticipate a very busy and active 2011 as we continue to renovate our Wesley Pavilion into a new meeting/dining hall, 

complete with a brand new kitchen and two brand new bathrooms. This building is the fi rst phase of a long range vision to allow 

Camp GuilRock to host groups like Carolina Cross Connection, host community dinners and events, host various civic and church 

groups that need a large meeting room and food service, and host a variety of other groups that would like a large meeting room 

and the comfort of an enclosed structure. 

To our great satisfaction, and as a result of this renovation, Carolina Cross Connection will hold a college age service week 

during the last full week in May 2011. (A link to an application and information about this week is: www.carolinacrossconnection.org) 

We are very appreciative of the support received from the Greensboro District and the Northeast District as we have 

taken on this building project. We continue to host scouting events (this past winter the 36th Eagle project {since 2004} was 

completed at GuilRock), camp outs, family reunions, day camps, church outings, civic groups, swimming groups, UMYF groups, 

and a variety of other groups and individuals. Our board of directors continues to share the message that GuilRock is a 

“ministry” and not simply a “destination.” 

So, as you can note, much is happening at GuilRock! As we look forward to 2011, please pray for the continued efforts at 

your district camp and know that we are truly blessed with over 200 acres of beautiful land to allow for Christian education in 

the outdoors! Please call or visit Camp GuilRock anytime, and know we are grateful for all the members of the connectional 

United Methodist Church in the Greensboro District and Northeast District!

Camp Carolwood Report 

Camp Carolwood hosted Carolina Cross Connection during four weeks in the summer of 2010. They are proud to host this 

ministry that connects youth with local mission work. Other summer groups included a Day Camp hosted by Amy Cable of First 

UMC Newton, and Mt. Zion UMC, which also returned for a fall retreat. 

Many churches took advantage of the outdoor worship center for a unique worship experience, followed by fellowship time. 

Several churches came for confi rmation retreats. Other groups that used the camp for a retreat experience included a local 

Latino youth group, a Baptist youth group, and women’s and men’s retreats. 

The Statesville District Offi ce hosted several events, including Grandcamp, for grandparents and grandchildren. A retreat just 

for Preacher’s Kids was held for the second time, with Bishop Goodpaster attending. Several Grandcamps are held each year, 

and the PK Retreat will be held again next winter. 

This year, from July 10-15, the Rev. Trevor Batchelor will host a week of camp fun and spiritual growth for rising fi fth and sixth 

graders. Contact the Statesville District Offi ce for more information on this week of camp. We are also opening a new area of 

camp property which will contain a new challenge course. 

If you need an affordable retreat location, consider Camp Carolwood. Call the camp at 828-758-1467. 

Philip Setzer, Director 

United Methodist Camp Tekoa 

Camp Tekoa’s mission statement is: Touching Hearts, Changing Lives, and Sharing the Light of Christ! This has been a great year 

thanks to all the committed full-time staff and the fabulous 2010 summer staff team. Here are some highlights from this past year: 

1. 2400 Summer Campers were welcomed and all were challenged to go into the world and share the Light of Christ. 

2. Tekoa was voted the “Best Overnight Camp” in WNC Parent Magazine for the second year in a row. The camp also received 

the honor of “Best Day Camp for 2010.” 

3. Tekoa was honored to host 150 military children and youth for the third Operation Purple Camp. The National Military Family 

Association developed this free summer camp program in response to the need for increased support for military children, 

especially those whose parents are or will be deployed. Operation Purple is sponsored by the Sierra Club. 

4. Ninety Special Needs campers were welcomed for the fall Barnabas camp! A very special thanks to Sue and Jim Trollinger for 

their dedicated leadership and service to this fall camp. 

5. Thirty-three children and adults were welcomed to the fi rst Annual Summer Family Camp. They experienced God through 

worship opportunities, the challenges of high ropes activities, the beauty of the mountains, they created instant friendships 

among other families and staff, they laughed together at silly talent show skits, and they had an awesome time playing fi eld 

games in the pouring rain! 

6. There was an incredible Summer Staff Team made up of college students from all over the United States and the world. The 

International Staff represented the following countries: Brazil, Jamaica, and Colombia. 

7. A new 18 bed cabin was opened called, “Sam’s Cabin.” The cabin was built in memory and honor of Sam Thompson who 

was a camper at Tekoa for several summers. Many thanks to the Thompson Family, the Etowah United Methodist Men, and 

all the volunteers who helped build this beautiful cabin. 

Many thanks to all of our campers, retreat groups, churches, donors, volunteers, supporters, and staff for helping Tekoa be a 

vibrant ministry for all who come here.

b. SPIRITUAL FORMATION TASK FORCE 

The WNCC Spiritual Formation Task Force is a group of laity and clergy committed to living intentional lives of being formed 

in the image of Jesus Christ and to call others to do so in their own journeys. We seek to offer events and encouragement that 

foster this growth. 

We continue to host the “Day Apart” on the Tuesday before annual conference sessions begin. This year our event will be 

held on Tuesday, June 7 at Central United Methodist Church, Clyde and features the leadership of Dr. Tom Steagald, Senior 

Pastor of Lafayette Street United Methodist Church in Shelby, N.C. Tom will lead us in consideration of the topic “At the Edges of 

Exile: The Wilderness is (Not) My Home.” The registration deadline is May 27 or when 125 persons have registered. 

We usually host a Prayer and Healing Service on the evening following the Day Apart, but because of our extended annual 

conference schedule this year, we will wait until the 2012 session to offer this powerful worship time. 

With great excitement we offer a Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation on April 29-May 4, 2012, cosponsored with The 

Upper Room. The event will take place at Caraway Conference Center near Asheboro, NC. The two faculty members are world 

renowned teachers and writers. Dr. Roberta Bondi, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Candler School of Theology, Emory 

University will present important insights from the writings of Julian of Norwich under the topic, “God’s Amazing Love for Us.” 

The second faculty member will be Father Richard Rohr, Founder and Director, Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, 

N.M. He will present on “The Spirituality of the Two Halves of Life.” Links to the information and registration brochure can be 

reached at www.wnccumc.org and www.upperroom.org

c. PEACE AND JUSTICE CLINIC 

The mission of the Peace and Justice Clinic, a United Methodist Church organization, is to provide free, high quality 

immigration legal services and a warm welcome to the immigrants in our congregations and communities, and at the same time 

encourage cross-cultural community building. It promotes education for ministry and advocacy as an integral part of the Justice 

for Our Neighbors program of the United Methodist Committee on Relief, and encourages deeper theological refl ection on 

biblical imperatives that clarify the moral issues raised by the US immigration policies and our nation’s treatment of newcomers. 

Since the fi rst meeting of its incorporators in July of 2008, this 501(c)(3) non-profi t has become a joint project of the Western 

NC Conference and the NC Conference and its Board has representatives from both conferences. The Chair of the Board of 

Directors is the Rev. Rosanna Panizo-Valladares of Durham, NC. Its past Chair was Laura H. Budd, Esq., of Matthews, NC. Other 

Board members include Steve Taylor, NC Conference Director of Missions; Dr. Phil Wingeier-Rayo, Professor at Pfeiffer University; 

the Rev. H. Gray Southern, Durham, NC; and the Rev. Luis Reinoso, Bailey, NC. 

In June of 2010, the Board hired Trish Pegram as its attorney. In July of 2010, Justice for Our Neighbors trained and 

supervised the fi rst Peace and Justice Clinic at Matthews UMC, Matthews, NC. Since that time, monthly clinics have been held at 

Matthews UMC. In keeping with the Justice for Our Neighbors model, the Board is planning on opening a second clinic site in the 

NC Conference in the near future. 

In 2010, the clinic saw 46 clients. Of those clients, 23 were men and 20 were women and 3 were children. The clients were 

from Africa, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico. The clinic is open to all nationalities and ethnicities. 

A variety of case types were seen including Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), U Visa, and Immigration Court removal 

defense. In 2010, a great number of clients came in for advice, counsel, and research. 

In 2010, 80 volunteers contributed an average of 3 hours service at the clinic for a total of 240 volunteer hours. There were 

volunteers from Matthews UMC, other United Methodist Churches and from the community. There were immigration attorneys, 

non-immigration attorneys, law students, paralegals, clergy, laity, and a client who volunteered at the clinic. There were 15 

interpreters who volunteered at the clinic. 

On March 12, 2011, Professor Sean Lew of the Charlotte School of Law and his advanced immigration law class volunteered 

at the clinic and 16 clients were scheduled for intake and consultations. It was a joyful day of hospitality and help and healing.

a. CENTRAL CONGO PARTNERS IN MINISTRY 

The Western North Carolina Congo team joined with the partners in ministry group along with the Peninsula-Delaware 

Conference Congo support group, and the Easter Pennsylvania Support group. Each conference will continue to work on their 

specially supported mission projects. The Western North Carolina – Central Congo Partners in Ministry will continue to support 

the Diengenga Trade School, Lorena Kelly’s Girl’s School, the hospital in Wembo Yama, the Wings of Caring, and The Central 

Congo Conference Center which is still under construction. 

The status of the Schools in Diengenga is that both are operating at a sizable student body. Construction on the school 

facilities for the Diengenga Trade School was begun and is now underway. The Trade School has 68 students enrolled this school 

year. The girls’ school has 156 students enrolled this year. The equipment for this school that was on the container that was 

shipped in 2006 was fi nally unpacked and installed this school year. Additionally Bishop Yemba is applying for GBGM Advance 

Specials to continue to support these schools. The older ones: #15106B – Diengenga Trade School Scholarships, equipment 

and building, Diengenga; and, #3020687 – Mama Tola Women Development Program are still in use and supported by GBGM. 

The Rev. Sonny Reavis has designed an exterior for the Central Congo Area Conference Center located in Kinshasa. Back in 

2008, Mike Collins challenged churches to raise pillars to construct a fence around this conference center. The fence needs to 

be completed. There is a GBGM Advance Special, #3020674 for the center. 

The Rev. Jacques Akasa Umembudi, the mission pilot for Wings of Caring continues to fl y the rebuilt Cessna 206. A barge of 

aviation gasoline 100 octane low-lead must be purchased for the Wings of Caring. Currently Jacques has to ferry barrels of fuel 

to the mission stations at Diengenga, Wembo Nyama and other remote places in the Central Congo. Sadly he usually has to burn 

one barrel’s worth of fuel just to deliver two. By shipping the barrels directly to the Diengenga Mission Station and the Wembo 

Nyama mission station not only will there be a greater availability of fuel but the cost of the fuel would be cut in half by virtually 

eliminating the cost of shipment by air. The fuel itself costs $500 per barrel. That is roughly $10.00 per gallon. 

The ministry hopes to send building teams to the Central Congo Area in 2012. For short term teams of two weeks or less, 

work would be done in the cities which have daily jet fl ights. For the more remote mission stations such as Diengenga and 

Wembo Nyama we are looking at sending teams for a longer duration. Discussion with Bishop Yemba and the Partners in 

Ministry continues to determine the specifi cs for each trip.


The Western North Carolina – Central Congo Partners in Ministry need support fi nancially as well as persons willing to assist 

in planning mission events and education, coordinate building teams, and many other opportunities to work in global missions 

within the United Methodist Church. 

David Miner, Chairperson 

b. GOLDEN CROSS 

In the mix of concerns for and about national health care, it is signifi cant to recall that through Golden Cross, The United 

Methodist Church and its predecessor denominations have been assisting with the cost of health care for nearly 90 years. In the 

year 1922, the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South approved the building of church-owned hospitals 

to which persons who could not afford health care could go for free or cost-reduced treatment. The name chosen for that 

compassionate ministry was and still is Golden Cross. The designed support for this new ministry was a Golden Cross Society, 

and Methodists everywhere were invited to “join” with a minimum gift of one dollar per year. 

In the bounds of the Western NC Conference, a Golden Cross hospital was built and opened in 1931, called the Hugh 

Chatham Hospital in Elkin. For 36 years, the conference maintained and operated this hospital, giving it to the Elkin community 

in 1967, where it is now a strong regional hospital. Though Hugh Chatham Hospital no longer belongs to the church, there still 

exists the desire that no church members forego needed health care because they cannot afford it. Thus the ministry of Golden 

Cross has continued. Assistance is given whenever families are burdened with overwhelming medical bills. This ministry is still 

a vital part of the mission of the conference. As it has been since 1922, Golden Cross is still supported by offerings and gifts by 

the people of conference churches. 

Through Golden Cross, United Methodists have assisted more than 400 church families in the past 11 years, and since 

1931, it has assisted thousands of families. With grateful appreciation to the 98 churches that supported this compassionate 

ministry in 2010, Golden Cross encourages the fi nancial support of every church in the conference. The scope of this ministry 

depends on the support of the churches. Every dollar given through special offerings goes to assist church families. 

Thomas R. Hunter, Director 

PROPOSAL: GOLDEN CROSS SUNDAY 


That every church in our conference include in its 2011 calendar a Sunday designated for recognition of Golden Cross at 

which time this compassionate ministry will be verbally recognized and an offering invited, encouraging every worshipper to give 

a minimum of $1.00 to assist families of our conference struggling with overwhelming and often unexpected medical bills. The 

fi rst Sunday of May is the traditional Golden Cross Sunday but another may be chosen if more appropriate for a church’s schedule. 

Mission Response Center (MRC) 

In 2010, humanitarian work continued with fervor at the Mission Response Center. The year began with the devastating Haiti 

earthquake. Cognizant of the mission to follow Jesus wherever people are hurting, United Methodist Churches in the Western 

NC Conference sprang to the challenge by collecting relief supplies designated for Haiti. The most obvious, tangible proof of this 

was the 40,000 plus UMCOR kits that were donated. No less remarkable was the infl ux of groups in February and March who 

collected, transported and packed these kits at the MRC. Two shipments were made to UMCOR Sager Brown. 

In addition to UMCOR collections, two shipments of humanitarian aid were sent to Armenia (Project Agape); one shipment 

included a donated 2007 Ford F-350 pickup truck. Local ministries in communities within the conference area received items 

estimated at $1878. 

Overall, the Mission Response Center sent out goods valued at $576,108 in 2010. This was more than double the value 

shipped the previous year. 

As part of the work as a “Cooperating Depot” of the UMCOR network, we now serve as a regional warehouse for UMCOR 

items. In addition to UMCOR items from our conference churches, we received kits and cleaning buckets from the North Georgia 

and Virginia Conferences and in October, 1038 cleaning buckets were sent to MERCI Center for use after the fl ooding in eastern 

North Carolina. 

Worth noting are the gifts that are received from non-ecclesiastical sources such as: 

• New and used clothing donations from NASCAR racing teams and Belk’s 

• Metal shipping crates from a company in Troutman NC. 

• Free shipping to Armenia, courtesy of United Armenian Fund 

• Shipments to Sager Brown, LA., at minimal cost (one free, one for fuel cost.) 

Sincere thanks goes to everyone who has responded with generous gifts and donations to the MRC. 

The MRC hosted a record number of 74 work team visits in 2010, partly in support of the Haiti crisis. These work teams are 

folks who make the shipments happen, many coming on a monthly basis and others as needed. One team from First United 

Methodist Church in Gastonia celebrated their 50 th visit to the MRC in 2010. Gratitude is expressed for all of the folks who 

volunteer. 

All of this work is directed by dedicated Church and Community Worker, Dwaine Morgan, who tirelessly plans the work of the 

teams, arranges for receipt of donated goods and shipments out of the MRC, and organizes chaotic piles of goods into some 

semblance of order. 

Emergencies will arise and human needs will be ongoing. The MRC will continue its mandate to minister to “the least of 

these.” In the words of Dwaine Morgan, “We don’t always know where we are going, but if we are following God’s direction, when 

we get there we will know it is Home.”

c. PROJECT AGAPE 

Project AGAPE continued its vital ministry in Armenia for the seventeenth straight year. This continues to be the only humanitarian 

relief group in the 1300 sq. mile Kashatagh region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Donations through the years have been one of the 

few/only bright spots for many that call this area home. The area served is still recovering from the 1993 war with Azerbaijan 

and the breakdown of the Soviet Union. Armenia is the oldest Christian nation in the world, preceding Rome by 20 years. 

In 2010, 1,100 families received the following help from United Methodists in North Carolina: 

• 1,074 Shoe boxes 

• 6,627 lbs. of new clothing 

• 5,756 lbs. of used clothing 

• 282 lbs. of new and used blankets and bedding 

• 148 lbs. of medical supplies 

• 97 lbs. of sewing supplies 

Your fi nancial donations continued to make a difference. With your help this past year, we continued to support: 

• Two orphanages/children’s homes 

• Distribution of the only outside humanitarian food, clothing, school supplies, Christmas Shoe Boxes, 

and medical relief in the province (all of which comes from the people of North Carolina) 

• The Cattle Project that helps families in the area earn a living 

• The local priest in Berdzor 

• The head doctor at the AGAPE Hospital 

The Christian Education Center (CEC) continued to function in Berdzor, providing opportunities for enriching the religious, 

cultural, and educational life of the community, and playing a substantial role in its development. The AGAPE Center provided 

classrooms for Christian education and Bible teaching with accommodations for Sunday School, VBS, art, chess, computers, 

embroidery, rug knitting, ESL, sewing and other classes. For 12 years the CEC has proven to be the most effi cient place for the 

children’s and teenagers’ after-school provision. Many of them received sustainable knowledge and skills that have helped them 

to adapt to their constantly changing social-economic factors, and have also helped them to fi nd jobs. 

In the summer of 2010, a WNCC Building Team traveled to Armenia and rebuilt two houses, as well as renovated the ceiling 

in the delivery room and part of the roof of the AGAPE Hospital. The team also sponsored a three day Vacation Bible School that 

brought joy to more than 100 children of the community. The religious songs, arts and crafts with stories from the Bible were 

so interesting for the children that many of them were wondering how many days the Vacation Bible School would continue and 

when they would have it again. 

Project AGAPE is so thankful for the support from individuals and churches throughout our annual conference. The board of 

Project AGAPE is responsible for raising approximately $59,000 each year to sustain this ministry. Please encourage your church 

and individuals to give generously so that Project AGAPE can continue to bring the only humanitarian aid to Kashatagh. You can 

do so by becoming a member of the Fellowship of 1000 or making a donation to Project AGAPE. Go to http://www.wnccumc.org/ 

mis/agapeproject.htm for more information about your ministry in Armenia and details of how to support it. You can also fi nd 

monthly newsletters from Armenia as well as information about the 2010 building team’s work. 

Allan Van Meter, Board Chairperson 

d. TOWN AND COUNTRY COMMITTEE 

The Town and Country Ministries of Western North Carolina Conference has grown in the 2010-2011 conference year. This 

group seeks to communicate to churches the vision of Town And Country Ministries: to foster town and country communities 

that embody the Kingdom of God by inspiring and equipping lay and clergy leaders; cultivating healthy missional churches; and 

advocating for a United Methodist Church that fruitfully empowers the Gospel of Jesus Christ in small communities. 

The Mustard Seed Movement small groups have continued to be recognized as fulfi lling the purposes of the Covenant Peer 

Groups and are helping to establish needed relationships among clergy and laity in town and country communities. Grants are 

awarded for ministries that impact the communities served by town and country churches, and are working to re-establish the 

importance of ministry in town and country settings through a partnership with Servant Leaders, Inc. Incubator groups have 

begun to grow in discipleship, in order to offer leadership in discipleship development to the conference. It is an honor to be 

asked to help with the Celebration of the Rural Church at the 2011 Annual Conference. 

All information about Town and Country Ministries can be found on the conference website, under “Ministries.” Gratitude is 

expressed for the strong team that is passionate about ministry in town and country settings. Thanks is given to the Rev. Jackie 

Taylor, secretary, and the great support from the c onference offi ce through Jennifer Davis and Barbara Rouse. Of course, none 

of the work of Town and Country would be possible without the fi nancial support of The Duke Endowment, to whom gratitude is 

extended. 

David Christy, Chairperson 

e. BUILDING TEAMS 

As the world economic situation lingers there continues to be a reduced number of building teams for 2011. Twenty-nine 

teams will be sent out to 11 foreign countries and the state of Alaska in 2011. More than 400 team members will be building 

relationships with fellow Christians and helping with many projects. Teams will work on a mission retreat center, work on home 

reconstruction, build and repair sanctuaries, build and repair classrooms, build an abused women’s shelter, build a parsonage 

and repair schools. 

The Building Teams Committee supports teams from local churches by providing insurance and opportunities for training 

team leaders. Local churches also have the opportunity to promote their projects along with conference teams on the 

conference website. The goal would be to reach more potential short term missionaries by planning more teams with combined 

building/medical/educational components.


Gratitude is expressed for the fi nancial report of the Western NC annual conference and for the many gifts received from 

local churches and individuals which enable building materials to be supplied for the teams, and scholarships for special needs. 

Volunteers pay their own way and give of their valuable time to be the hands and feet of our Lord, to build relationships and 

structures for the glory of God. 

Max Kern, Chairperson 

f. CONFERENCE DISASTER RESPONSE 

2010 was a year of readjustment in ministry for the Conference Disaster Response Committee. Readjustment was 

necessitated by the loss of a paid conference disaster response coordinator. The committee is appreciative of Mike Collins years 

of dedicated service in this capacity. The CDRC has taken greater ownership for ministries of mercy during times of disaster. 

Also, the committee began a restructuring process in light of this paradigm shift. 

The restructuring and evaluation of the conference plan for disaster response is an ongoing process. It is now being led by 

the new conference Disaster Response Coordinator - the Rev. H. L. Talbert. In October, the bishop named the Rev. Talbert to the 

unpaid position of conference DRC and he has been a great help in moving our committee forward. 

In March of last year the only major natural disaster occurred from tornadoes that touched down in the Lexington and High 

Point districts. Volunteer trained in UMCOR Early Disaster Response converged to help in both districts in coordination with local 

emergency responders. District DR coordinators organized efforts. In the Lexington District, Ralph Amos was asked by local 

offi cials to coordinate all volunteer assistance with debris removal. In the High Point District, Keith Eddins organized a day for 

volunteers to help with local efforts being managed by the city of High Point. 

As disasters have occurred in other areas of the country (such as in Nashville, TN) this committee has continued to extend 

offers of assistance to impacted annual conferences. Many teams have gone out of state to serve in these setting, but it is 

only at the invitation of an annual conference that we send groups into these areas. Churches are reminded that they are only 

allowed to do early disaster response if a church has a current UMCOR badge and has an invitation or permission for teams to 

enter an impacted zone. Long term recovery is open to non-trained teams but again only after obtaining permission. 

UMCOR EDR training events have continued to be offered in 2010. There were several that took place across the WNCC. In 

fact, the bishop and cabinet requested a special training offered by UMCOR for conference level leaders that took place in early 

fall. Training events will continue to be a high priority for this committee since UMCOR certifi cation demands regular retraining. If 

your church or district would like to host a training event please contact your district or the conference DRC. 

Doug Miller, Chairperson 

g. HAITI QUAKE DISASTER RESPONSE COMMITTEE 

Continuing the connection with United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), United Methodist Volunteers in Mission 

(UMVIM), the Methodist Church of Haiti, and with other Haitian partners, the WNCC has been alert to needs of Haiti’s relief 

efforts. Work will be done intentionally “with” the Haitian people and not “to” the Haitian people as the hands and feet of Christ, 

making sure work is not done by teams that the people can do for themselves. 

The 2011 year began with $245,757.68 in the Haiti Relief Fund. There has been $50,902.57 spent so far. The Western NC 

Conference purchased two vehicles to be used by medical and work teams in the Cap Haitien area. Five requests for matching 

funds were approved for work teams in Cap Haitien area and Port-au-Prince area. Two school kitchens, a school food storage 

room, additional school classrooms, and an orphanage were the focus of those teams. Additional matching funds will be 

reviewed as requested. Please send funding requests to Louisa Suggs, 2509 Lowell-Bethesda Rd, Gastonia, NC 28056, or 

lmsuggs@carolina.rr.com. 

Sites for work, sites for lodging, and UMVIM coordinators in-country and in the USA have been located. Beyond the UMC 

connection efforts, teams may be dispersed with other organizations doing on-going mission work in Haiti: clinics, orphanages, 

and schools. Work will focus in the Cap Haitien area due to internally displaced persons (IDP’s) and how they severely impact the 

local economy. Teams will be going to the Port-au-Prince area as well. 

The micro-fi nancing that was begun in Dondon was so successful that the committee is looking for other areas to stimulate 

the economy by adding additional villages to this program. 

The Western NC Conference Building Team committee pledged support to four building teams scheduled through June, 

2011. More teams will be scheduled in the later half of the year, as potential team applicants express interest and locations 

and needs become known. 

Louisa Suggs, Chairperson 

h. MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS IN MISSION 

The Good Samaritan Clinic in Batey 7 in the Dominican Republic is the main outreach program of the Volunteers in Medical 

Committee of the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. Beginning as a dream around 2000, the 

clinic has been fully functional and growing since 2002. Primarily serving the medical needs of an impoverished community of 

1200 people situated in a rural area surrounded by sugar cane fi elds, the clinic now reaches out to surrounding communities. 

Staffed with a full-time physician and health care support staff, the clinic sees over 100 patients a week. This year visiting 

mission teams supplement the efforts performing up to 300 much needed surgeries and providing outreach clinic visits there 

and in surrounding communities for several thousand other patients. 

With the involvement of these volunteers other projects to improve the medical health of the community have included 

health education classes, the building of latrines and the provision of a new water purifi cation system. A commitment to improve

222 


the economic health of the community resulted in the building of an educational building. Sewing technical classes and a baking 

class will provide technical certifi cates accepted in area job markets as well as give skills students can use daily. The recent 

disaster in Haiti has displaced many illegal Haitian immigrants into the Bateys allowing us to serve yet another group of “the 

least of these” 

• An “Adopt a Clinic Day Program” has been started to give persons and groups an opportunity to become part of the program. 

• A donation of $100 covers the daily clinic costs including 

• The salaries of the health care providers 

• All medications and supplies for the patients 

• Other operating costs, 

A quarterly newsletter gives those interested an update on clinic activities. 

Michael Barringer, M.D., Chairperson 

i. WESLEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 

Wesley Community Development Corporation (“Wesley CDC”) completed seven new homes in 2010, including: four in 

Yadkinville; two in the community of Olin, north of Statesville; and one in Troutman. In 2011 the goal is to complete construction 

of eight affordable single family homes. There is an opportunity to increase participation of churches throughout the conference 

in the “Faith Based” partnership program. In the fi rst quarter of 2011 work was completed on the third house in Transylvania 

County in partnership with St. Timothy UMC of Brevard. A fourth house is expected to being construction this year in Brevard. 

In the second quarter of 2011 construction was completed on the new UMAR “Homeownership House” on the campus of 

Mt. Zion UMC in Cornelius. This house was built in a partnership that includes the churches of the Lake Norman District, UMAR, 

and Wesley CDC. Over 175 members of churches throughout the Lake Norman District volunteered in the construction of this 

house. The “Homeownership House” is an exciting new concept in housing where three UMAR residents will live independently 

within an existing neighborhood. The residents of this house will be moving out of UMAR group homes with 24 hour-a-day care, 

thereby greatly reducing the cost of their housing and care. This will also free up three beds in traditional UMAR group homes for 

individuals with more severe developmental needs who require a higher level of care. 

Wesley CDC opened its doors in Statesville in 2002, funded by a grant from The Duke Endowment to the Western North 

Carolina Conference. The mission of this non-profi t organization is to build “Communities of Grace and Hope” by constructing high 

quality, energy effi cient affordable homes across the conference for all who qualify, regardless of religion, race, creed, handicap, 

gender, age, or national origin. “Affordable” housing is obtained through layers of fi nancing through grants, subsidies, and low 

cost loans such that a quality home may be built for low and very low income families, with house payments they can afford. 

Volunteers from churches in the Conference are very important to this ministry. Volunteers reduce construction cost by 

contributing their labor to the construction of houses, and this savings is passed on to the homeowner. Particular care is taken 

in construction techniques to minimize normal homeowner costs, such as heating and cooling expenses. All of the homeowners 

must contribute their own volunteer labor to the construction of their homes. 

In order to qualify, a client must have a household income below 80% of the median income for their county of residence. 

Services provided by Wesley CDC include fi nancial counseling, debt reduction training, support for credit improvement efforts, 

and homeowner training. To date, Wesley CDC has completed and closed on over 75 homes across western North Carolina. 

Work began on the fi rst rental housing project in the fall of 2010. Funds for this project in Taylorsville were provided by the 

North Carolina Housing Finance Agency. Completion of this rental project is anticipated in May 2011. Additional rental projects 

are planned across the Conference. The vision is that each rental housing community will provide an opportunity to lead credit 

counseling and home buyer education classes at the rental community center, and many of the renters will eventually become 

qualifi ed to be homeowners in one of the affordable single family communities.

6. ADVOCACY AGENCIES 

a. COMMISSION ON CHRISTIAN UNITY AND INTERRELIGIOUS CONCERNS 

The Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns recently has been very much involved in the work of the 

North Carolina Council of Churches, which has undergone a drastic change in the structure of its governance. Instead of the


old governing body known as the House of Delegates, which included a number of delegates from each participating judicatory, 

the Council is now governed by a much smaller Executive Board on which the Western North Carolina Conference presently has 

three members. The new structure is working well. 

The North Carolina Council celebrated its 75 th Anniversary last year and in that connection asked each member body to 

declare a particular Sunday of its choice as North Carolina Council of Churches Day. Your representatives have continued to 

encourage the Council to be involved in relating to the other Abrahamic faiths. 

Negotiations are still taking place between various Christian denominations regarding the achievement of full communion 

among them. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and the United Methodist Church have already achieved full 

communion. Similar negotiations continue between the United Methodist Church and the Episcopal Church, as well as between 

the United Methodist Church and the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and the 

Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (known as Pan-Methodism). 

Sydnor Thompson, Chairperson 

b. COMMISSION ON RELIGION AND RACE 

The members of WNCC Commission on Religion and Race continue their commitment to follow the mandate outlined in The 

Book of Discipline: 

to challenge the general agencies, institution and connectional structures of The United Methodist Church 

to a full and equal participation of the racial and ethnic constituency in the total life and mission of the 

Church through advocacy and by reviewing and monitoring the practices of the entire Church so as to 

further ensure racial inclusiveness. Section XIV 2002 

In order to fulfi ll this mandate, the 2010-2011 WNCC Commission on Religion and Race continues its pledge to: 1) Give 

Voice to the issues and concerns of racial ethnic people 2) Counsel church leaders and members on different facets of racially 

inclusive church and society and develop resource materials related to issues of racism, diversity and inclusiveness 3) Empower 

racial ethnic groups 4) Sensitize the church about racism and 5) Monitor and evaluate racial and cultural inclusiveness on all 

levels of the church. 

CORR continues its responsibility to monitor and evaluate conference and district boards, agencies, commissions and 

committees. During the 2009 Annual Conference, CORR members monitored worship services, meetings and events. CORR 

identifi ed many examples of inclusive participation of Racial Ethnic Constituency. However, an area of concern was the limited 

representation of racial ethnic persons within the leadership of this conference. CORR encourages the Western NC conference 

to become more intentional in the inclusion of Racial Ethnic Representation in leadership roles. Due to confl ict in schedules 

CORR was unable to monitor the 2010 annual conference. 

Hopefully, with the upcoming 2011-2012 year everything will get back on track. 

Donna M. Young, Chairperson 

c. COMMITTEE ON AFRICAN AMERICAN MINISTRIES 

The Committee on African American Ministries continues to be an advocate for Strengthening the Black Church in the 21 st 

Century and for enhancing the relationship between all churches within the Western NC Conference. Working closely with SBC 

21, Black Methodists for Church Renewal (BMCR), and retired clergy, the goal of the committee for 2011-2012 will be to ensure 

that African American churches achieve the Power of 3 for WNCC, through training and development of clergy and laity in needoriented 

evangelism, vibrant worship, passionate spirituality, intentional stewardship, and empowered leadership, enabling 

these churches to thrive in the 21 st century. Specifi cally, the committee will: 

• Acquire resources from SBC21 for Congregation Resource Center (CRC) training; 

• Hold local training sessions where partnering churches share what has been successful in their congregations; 

• Assist churches in attracting and sustaining youth through development of programs that help them to know God, 

to know His purpose for their lives, and to follow His commandments; 

• Encourage participation in clergy and laity covenant peer groups (CPG); 

• Host “Facilitators’ Dialogue” to discuss items crucial to survival; e.g., certifi cation and use of lay speakers, pension 

requirements, ability of small church to pay apportionments; 

• Assist pastors in meeting ordination requirements; 

• Assist churches in meeting fi nancial obligations; 

• Employ “Rethink Church” techniques to enhance small congregations; 

• Restore our Wesleyan evangelical heritage through the forming of holistic small groups which reach out into the 

community; 

• Reclaim the personal and social holiness of John Wesley through intensive missionary work that eliminates poverty, 

improves health, and encourages leaders to follow the Great Commission; 

• Assist churches to become partner congregations in SBC 21 in 2011-2012. 

Through the accomplishment of these objectives, the committee will play a vital role in our conference by encouraging and 

enhancing unity that values diversity.

d. COMMITTEE ON CHURCH AND SOCIETY 

The Committee on Church and Society continues under the present conference structure, somewhat as an adjunct to the 

Justice and Reconciliation part of the Connectional Table. By the rules of the Discipline, the committee is still responsible for 

administering the funds that come from one half of the Peace with Justice offering that stays within the Western NC Conference. 

Grants of scholarship aid are given to those attending the young clergy seminar, Ecumenical Advocacy Days, and the Lake 

Junaluska Peace Conference. The committee has helped with the grant process for several projects within the conference that 

requested funds from the General Board of Church and Society. Although it is well into this quadrennium, churches are still 

encouraged to hold studies of the Social Principles especially in those churches that have not held them this quadrennium, and 

districts are recommended to include classes in leading these studies at least every four years. 

The committee has not been having face-to-face meetings since the ones where policies and priorities were set early in the 

quadrennium. Decisions needing further group action have been dealt with by email, and in each case those responding have 

not thought a conference call or face-to-face meeting was necessary. At this juncture, the committee may not be aware of all 

the changes of district representation or changes in email addresses. It would be helpful if any new representatives, continuing 

representatives with new addresses, and district offi ces where representation has changed, would email contact information to 

steve@stevelee.name. 

Stephen F. Lee, Chairperson 

e. COMMITTEE ON NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRIES (CONAM) 

The WNCC Committee on Native American Ministries is made up of all Native American pastors in the Conference and 

representatives from each Native American church in the Conference. Our goal and purpose is to train our youth and adults to 

have a better understanding of who we are as God’s creation, and be stronger biblically and theologically. 

The CONAM continues to work with WNCC and Southeastern Jurisdictional Association for Native American Ministries 

(SEJANAM) to train youth for future leadership in the Church. In 2010 the CONAM sponsored four youth who attended a Native 

American Comprehensive Plan Writers’ Conference. There they met with Native youth writers from across the Nation and they 

came away revitalized and blessed. We partnered with SEJANAM and Native Churches to train our youth to lead worship services 

in their churches on a regular basis. The CONAM sent eight youth to SEJANAMs’ Ministers’ and Laity Retreat held in February at 

Lake Junaluska. 

Thirty fi ve Native adults received scholarships from the CONAM to attend the SEJANAM Ministers’ and Laity Retreat. The 

CONAM sponsored Loretta Bolden of Cherokee to attend the SEJANAM annual Bolivia mission trip. In June the CONAM led 

a service of healing in the Native American tradition at Annual Conference. This service was based on ancient traditions, 

celebrating God’s presence in creation and in our lives. The ritual of smudging was included as part of the healing ceremony. A 

mixture of sweet grass, cedar and tobacco represented various Native American cultures. 

The CONAM sponsored more than sixty natives to attend the SEJANAM 22 nd Annual Native American Summer Conference held 

at Lake Junaluska. The theme was “A World in Need of Healing!” This event’s leaders and speakers from across the Southeast, 

and nationally, provided the vital training and building blocks that are fundamental and essential for Native American Church 

leaders to be more successful and fruitful in being that beacon of light to those in need. The Creator richly blessed all who 

attended far beyond expectation and we went away refreshed, restored and renewed for the ministry to which He has called us.

7. CONFERENCE RESOURCE CENTER AKA THE FISHIN’ HOLE 

The conference Resource Center has continued during the last year to be a leader in helping conference staff, leaders, 

clergy, and lay people to better focus on the conference vision and delve deeper into what it means to be a disciple of Christ in 

this ever challenging world. 

The Resource Center has offi cially changed its name to the WNCC Fishin’ Hole, and purchased its own domain so that now 

anyone can reach the Web page by simply typing in: www.wnccfi shinhole.org 

As a part of continuing conference transitions, in April of 2010, the position of Coordinator of the Resource Center was 

combined with the position of Conference Center Receptionist. Utilizing state of the art technology and the Surpass Library 

Management System, the coordinator Sonja Clough is able to do most of the transactions from the front desk. Combining the 

two positions erased the burden of the coordinator’s salary, allowing the use of more of the money for purchasing new resources 

and keeping the membership fees at the same rate as last year. Thanks to a generous grant, the Fishin’ Hole was able to add 

more Disciple Bible Studies in DVD format, and to update other VHS materials, such as Stephen Ministries resources to DVD 

format. The WNCC Fishin’ Hole continues to offer new, cutting-edge resources, especially those recommended by the staff of the 

Conference Center. 

The Surpass Safari online catalog has become a favorite of the patrons, allowing teachers, leaders, and members to 

search for resources according to title, author or even just a keyword. Each patron has their own unique Patron ID number and 

Password, so that they can actually make reservations straight from the catalog. Anyone can browse through the catalog located 

at: http://wncccatalog.surpasssoftware.com/wncc/ To receive a Patron ID and Password, please contact your minister, Christian 

Educator, or Sonja, the coordinator of the WNCC Fishin’ Hole, at: sclough@wnccumc.org or 704-535-2260. 

The WNCC Fishin’ Hole began a new program called “Share the Gift,” in an effort to draw in more small-membership 

churches. Annual fees ranged from $60-$150. If a church paid $100 or more for their fee, they could select a small-membership


church to receive a free year’s membership in the WNCC Fishin’ Hole. Churches were also invited to give extra monies toward 

scholarships for churches who could not afford the fee. Thirty-six churches were offered a free 2010 membership in the Fishin’ Hole. 

The Resource Center Ministry Team met at Aldersgate Retirement Community in Charlotte with resident Christian Educators 

opening a dialogue about the possibility of expanding the resource center to include the residents of Aldersgate as a pilot 

project, hoping that other retirement communities in the conference would be interested as well. 

The WNCC Fishin’ Hole continues to be one of the best places to fi nd just the right resource to help you “Follow Jesus, Make 

Disciples, and Transform the World.”

C. CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT 

Why We Start New Faith Communities 

New faith communities are started because of Jesus’ Great Commission to the 12 disciples and to the church: 

God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, 

in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them 

in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, 

right up to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 (The Message) 

Every Christian and every congregation is subject to distraction and diversion from this great commission. Consider the 

parable of the sower in which Jesus taught of the hardness of some soil and the weeds that threaten to choke the growth in 

other soil. The life of the Church is lived in the fi eld that Jesus described. One has to constantly have to seek the fertile soil 

where the gospel of Jesus can take root and grow. 

This is an era of the church in which every congregation is sowing the gospel in fi elds that do not respond the way they used 

to. The soil of the mission fi eld has changed. One doesn’t fully understand all the ways the people that are trying to be reached 

with the gospel have changed, but the board does understand that the ways that formerly were used to effectively reach people 

are no longer as fruitful. 

So new faith communities are started for several reasons: 

• The fi eld is ripe for the harvest. In this country with a rich heritage of Christian presence, witness and missional 

service, over half, and in some places over 75% of the people have no relationship with Christ and the Church. 

Christians have a commission and an opportunity to fulfi ll God’s intention for the church to be the vehicle by which 

people draw near to God and fi nd grace, love, forgiveness, faith, hope, and salvation in Him. 

• These new faith communities become an opportunity to test new ways to sow the gospel message in the hearts of 

people far from God. When existing congregations try new ways, they often fi nd themselves sowing controversy. This 

is not surprising, Jesus warned us: 

Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the 

wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved. Matthew 9:17 (NIV) 

So new faith communities are started as laboratories where new wine can be poured without bursting the old 

wineskins. This is not to say that existing congregations cannot try new things and develop new approaches to 

reach people for Christ. But the new faith community offers an opportunity to try new things without the risks or 

restraints that are present in existing congregations. 

• New faith communities are sown as an investment in God’s future that will last for generations to come. Many of 

these new faith communities will be fruitfully proclaiming the gospel when today’s great-great-grandchildren are in 

their old age. During their existence, tens of thousands of people will come to faith in Christ. What other investment 

can be made that has a greater impact on the lives of people than to make sure the gospel is proclaimed in future 

generations? 

• These new faith communities offer an opportunity for renewal of focus and effectiveness for congregations that 

have become too distracted to be as fruitful as God intended them to be. When existing congregations partner with 

new congregations, their own faith life is renewed and they frequently begin to be more fruitful again. This is at 

the heart of the Biblical narrative, that God renews even the aged as they become the birth partners for the next 

generation of God’s people. Think of Abram and Sarah, Elizabeth and Zechariah. WNCC now has congregations 

almost 150 years old that are becoming birth partners for the emerging congregations that will reach new 

generations of people for decades to come. 

• These new faith communities are not competition for existing congregations. They are an extension of the kingdom 

of heaven in which every Christian congregation participates. Typically competition is not another church in the 

area, but the consumer lives that quench God’s spirit by convincing people that we are what we produce, purchase 

and consume. The church has a gospel message that lifts people out of that mundane view of humanity and points 

them toward their identity as beloved children of the God who created the heavens and the earth. That message is 

never threatened by another faithful, fruitful congregation down the street. 

• These new faith communities also become an opportunity for God’s pioneers and missionaries to live out their 

calling. God designed some of Jesus’ followers to be bold pioneers and gospel bearers to people who are far from

226 


God. Pioneers used to be sent to the edges of the known world to carry the gospel. That is still done. But now 

persons can also be sent from congregations to the next town or the next block because a majority of the people 

who live nearby no longer have any active relationship with Christ or the church. When these pioneers have no 

outlet to live out God’s call, they frequently depart the United Methodist system and the gift of God that has been 

given through them has been lost. 

New Faith Communities are most fruitful and effective when several things come together: 

• The leading and vision of the Holy Spirit guiding the process of development of a new faith community. 

• A well-defi ned understanding of the mission fi eld and the people living there. 

• The calling and giftedness of a church planter who can connect effectively with the people in the mission fi eld 

where the new faith community is projected. 

• The support and enthusiastic involvement of the district Board of Congregational Development and District 

superintendent. 

• A strong partnering congregation, 

○ a multi-site partnership or, 

○ a sponsoring congregation bringing prayers, missional people and fi nancial commitment to support the launch or, 

○ several sponsoring congregations covenanting together to bring prayers, missional people and fi nancial 

commitment to support the launch. 

• The fi nancial investment of the WNC Conference churches through apportionment support and second mile giving 

How has the Congregational Development Program been affected by the funding changes for 2011? 

The proposed budget for Congregational Development for 2011 was reduced by $775,000 at the August called session of 

the WNC Annual Conference. This change reduced the available money below the amount needed to fully fund the salary grant 

commitments for the church planters already at work in the mission fi eld. This put the Offi ce of Congregational Development in 

a cash-fl ow position that threatened 12 appointments. Cost savings had to be implemented that allowed the conference to meet 

its short-term salary support obligations, but doing so has been at the expense of long-term development of people and the new 

faith communities initiative. 

In consultation with Bishop Goodpaster and the district superintendents, one of the 2010 church plant appointments was 

changed and most of the funding commitment for that appointment was recovered. The Offi ce of Congregational Development 

cancelled several existing church training events that had been planned for the remainder of 2010. The contract with the fund 

developer who had been working to support an upcoming major funds drive was cancelled. Several recruiting trips that were 

opportunities to identify future church planters were cancelled. These changes and cancellations totaled more than $200,000 

in savings. 

Several abandoned church properties were sold at the end of 2010. The conference Board of Congregational Development 

receives 25% of the proceeds of the sale of abandoned church properties. The other 75% is received by the district in which 

the property was located and is designated for Congregational Development purposes in that district. If these sold properties 

are located in an urban area or district, they are further restricted by The Book of Discipline to be used in accordance with the 

conference and district urban ministries strategic plan. The conference Board of Congregational Development received about 

$259,000 from the sale of abandoned properties, with $187,000 of that funding subject to the urban ministries strategic plan. 

With these proceeds and the earlier austerity measures implemented, the Board of Congregational Development projects being 

able to fund during 2011 all its current salary support commitments. 

The conference is able to move ahead with additional new church plant appointments in 2011 only by securing 

commitments from other funding sources. At least one new appointment is projected that will be funded by a local church 

and two district Boards of Congregational Development. The Offi ce of Congregational Development continues to seek new 

funding sources to support reaching new people in the name of Christ through new faith communities. The conference Board of 

Congregational Development will bring petitions to the 2011 WNC Annual Conference to clarify the needs and opportunities for 

full funding of the 30 new faith communities in 3 years initiative of the conference. 

The Offi ce of Congregational Development continues to solicit new Vital Partners for New Faith Communities. Over 300 

individual Vital Partners have come forward with gifts and commitments ranging from $5.00 to over $5,000 a year. Many 

congregations have not only paid their full apportionments, but have offered additional support equal to $6 times their average 

worship attendance. These Vital Partner Congregations offer great encouragement and hope that the conference will be able to 

launch the new faith communities God has called the conference to plant. 

What progress has been made so far toward the 30 new faith communities goal? 

Twelve new faith communities in WNC have begun development in the last two years, moving toward the conference goal of 

30 new faith communities in 3 years. These 12 new faith communities fall into several categories: 

Multi-Site Campuses of Existing Churches – healthy congregations are beginning new worshipping communities at a site other 

than their original location. The multi-site campuses include: 

• 2009 - Christ Church – Fairgrove Campus (Jesse Smith, planter) – in a dynamic partnership between Christ UMC, 

Hickory (Charles Kyker, lead pastor), the remaining constituent members at the former Fairgrove UMC, the 

Statesville District and the Board of Congregational Development, this new campus focuses its attention on the young 

adult population numbering almost 30,000 in the Conover-Hickory area. Worship attendance at the one-year mark 

averages 257 and a full range of life-group discipleship, ministry and missional engagement are developing.


• 2009 - Christ Church – Troutman Campus (John McGill, planter) – This multi-site campus of Christ UMC, Hickory, 

was launched at the boundary of the Lake Norman and Statesville Districts. Attempting to reach into a more 

stable and less densely populated area without an existing base of Christ Church members has made this a more 

challenging launch. The Troutman UMC (Mike Carr, Pastor) has been a strong supporter of this launch, supporting 

it with prayer and with members of Troutman UMC showing up in support for many of the pre-launch introductory 

events. Worship attendance is averaging 91 at the end of 2010. Life-group discipleship and missional engagement 

are developing appropriately. 

• 2009 - Inclusion Community (Susan Heafner-Heun, planter) – A Safe Place to Experience God - A multi-site 

campus of Davidson UMC (Jody Seymour, senior pastor), focused on reaching people “whose faith journey has not 

been nourished in traditional church settings, who do not fi t the ‘contemporary worship’ style of many churches, 

and who struggle with a literal reading of scripture and a legalistic, rigid theology.” Meeting for worship in a small 

movie theater in Davidson and in a house donated for the community’s use, this small community thrives on 

questions, conversation and celebrates diversity. The community averaged 40 in worship attendance in the fi rst six 

months since its launch. 

• 2009 - Williamson’s Chapel West (Andrea Smith, planter) – Breaking new ground for older churches, the 99 

year old Williamson’s Chapel UMC in Mooresville (Rob Fuquay, Jr., senior pastor), launched a new campus at 

the Lake Norman High School during 2010. The Williamson’s West Campus was planted by Andrea Smith, a longtime 

staff member of Williamson’s Chapel who recruited a launch team in this well established congregation to 

aggressively reach out to the burgeoning population in the Mooresville area. Williamson’s West is averaging 240 

in worship in the fi rst months of 2011. The exceptional churches, Williamson’s Chapel, and Rocky Mount UMC 

(Jamie Hamrick, senior pastor) serve so effectively that they have increased the percentage of the area population 

worshipping in a UMC from 4.3% in 1990 to 4.9% today while the total population grew by 79% during that period. 

That is amazing fruitfulness! 

• 2010 - Crossroads – Waxhaw Campus (Mark Appleyard, planter) – This multi-site campus was launched in a fast 

growing area of Union County where the percentage of the population in worship in UM churches had slipped from 

4.8% to just 1.23% over the last 20 years. The Bonds Grove UMC (Randy Blanton, pastor) has provided rehearsal 

space for the worship team of this new campus of Crossroads UMC, Concord (Lowell McNaney, senior pastor). 

Bethlehem UMC (Howard Fleming, pastor), has provided sacramental support for the fi rst baptisms at this new 

campus. Faith UMC (David Lawrence, pastor) and Mineral Springs UMC (Bruce Gwyn, senior pastor) have invited 

the planter to preach and offered support during the development of the campus. The devotion of early launch 

team members is exemplifi ed by a family who sold their house in Concord and moved to the area so they could help 

start this new campus. A soft launch* took place in November and another major outreach will take place in the 

early fall to reach the larger community. The campus was averaging 70 in its second month in worship (about the 

median size of UM churches in Western NC). They had 140 people in worship on April 3, 2010. *A soft launch is a 

method used to build early support and identify potential launch team members to be followed by a much larger 

communications effort and hard launch within a few months to a year. 

• 2011 - G3 Campus (Ron Garner, planter) – The oldest church launching a new campus (so far) is the 166 year old 

Mt. Tabor United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem (Earl Wilson, senior pastor). The G3 campus is planning 

to meet in a school west of the Robinhood campus. The name G3 is derived from the points of Mt. Tabor’s vision: 

“Gather, Grow, Go.” The church has prepared for about 18 months – developing a launch team, training and 

equipping leaders, doing research in the mission fi eld, and gaining support from the leadership of the Robinhood 

campus of the church. Launch of public worship is planned for September 2011. 

New Faith Communities Alongside People at the Economic Margins of Society 

• 2009 - Haywood Street Congregation (Brian Combs, planter) The Asheville area is known for its love of the arts 

and passion for the outdoors, but behind the colorful murals and beneath the scenic bridges, many hundreds 

of people are without homes to live in or income adequate to feed their families. When planter Brian Combs, DS 

John Boggs, Central UMC (Rob Blackburn, senior pastor) and many lay and clergy leaders of the district came 

together around the needs of these beloved children of God, this beautiful congregation emerged. Meeting in the 

renewed facilities of the former Haywood Street United Methodist Church, an eclectic congregation gathers each 

week and God’s love becomes a tangible reality in hands, feet, a hearty meal, clean clothes, and a caring network 

of friendships. The unique worship service invites God to speak through each person in the room whether they are 

employed or unemployed, housed or unhoused, have a Ph.D. or never fi nished High School. Many Wednesdays at 

Haywood Street Congregation over 200 people gather around tables to love and be loved in the name of Christ. 

• 2009 - Opportunity House/Narrow Gates (Dave Cash, Charlie Davis and Dan Talbert, planters) The Opportunity 

House was a loving response of the pastor and people of Midway UMC in Kannapolis to the call of the gospel to 

reach out to the least, the last, the lost of their community. As they describe it: “Our mission is to provide a “hands 

up” to the homeless, unemployed, poor, i.e. the least, the last, the lost of our community. Thursday nights feature 

a meal, music, and a message. We also incorporate health screenings and other pertinent educational resources. 

Child care is provided at an alternate site. The ministry continues to grow. Presently we are serving more than 100 

persons each Thursday night on our campus.”

228 


New Faith Communities to Connect with the Diverse People in WNC 

• 2009 - Korean-Speaking Congregation at Wesley UMC (Jae Lee, planter). The growing population of 

Korean-speaking immigrants in Charlotte drew the attention of planter Jae Lee when he was appointed 

to Wesley UMC in South Charlotte. The Korean Methodist Association, the Charlotte District, and the Board 

of Congregational Development partnered with the Rev. Lee and the lay leaders at Wesley UMC to support 

adding a new Korean language worshipping community alongside the existing English-speaking congregation. 

“We are one church worshipping in two languages,” explains the Rev. Lee. 

• 2010 - Centro Christiano Hosanna – Matthews UMC merger (Diana Wingeier-Rayo, Ken Lyon, planters). The 

Hispanic-Latino population in the WNC region is growing very rapidly but the economic capacity of the people 

is often too limited to support free-standing United Methodist Churches with elders under appointment. Centro 

Christiano Hosanna was worshipping in Monroe with nearly 200 people in worship, but was fi nancially fragile. 

The Matthews UMC was looking for an opportunity to live out a vision of radical hospitality. So the Matthews 

UMC, Centro Christiano, the Albemarle and Charlotte Districts, the WNCC Board of Congregational Development 

partnered in a merger of the two churches. The weekday Monroe ministries of Centro Christiano continue in place 

while the Sunday morning worship takes place on the Matthews UMC Campus. 

• 2010 - North Metro Charlotte New Start (Diron Chloe, planter) Diron Chloe was appointed in the summer of 2010 

to develop a new congregation to reach the emerging young adult population in the North Charlotte Metro area. 

The target area at the boundary of the Salisbury and Charlotte Districts has almost 80,000 people living in it, a 

very diverse ethnic population, and many people living at the margins of economic stability. The hope is to build a 

strong, multi-ethnic church around the music, social networks, and life challenges that are held in common across 

the visible ethnic and cultural diversity in the area. There are no active United Methodist congregations in the 

traffi c corridors of this region. With no clear sponsoring congregation yet emerging, this is a parachute drop into an 

area by a pastor and a correspondingly high-risk launch. So the board covets the prayers, active involvement, and 

support of the pastors and laity of the Charlotte and Salisbury Districts as the pastor seeks to build an adequate 

launch team, discipleship mentors, and worship team. 

New Starts Among Tourist and Seasonal Populations 

• 2009 – River of Life Congregation – Nantahala Gorge (Wayne Dickert, planter) This congregation was begun 

by a lay person who saw the spiritual needs among the seasonal workers and tourist population of the Nantahala 

Gorge. This incredibly active outdoor attraction has over 200,000 visitors each year and several thousand seasonal 

workers who are present to serve the outdoor oriented guests. This congregation meets on Sunday mornings in 

a covered facility on the banks of the river. The lay leader who began this congregation is now an active part-time 

local pastor serving the Bryson City UMC as an assistant and continuing the summer-time River of Life ministry. 

The WNCC Board of Congregational Development is grateful for the hundreds of churches that paid 100% of their 

apportionments during 2010 and those that are working toward that goal for 2011 and is grateful for the hundreds of Vital 

Partners for New Faith Communities who are contributing monthly to support the church planters and launch teams bringing 

hundreds of people to Christ and the church. Thank you to the lay and clergy members of the annual conference representing 

those churches. 

The work of developing new faith communities has been slowed somewhat by the reductions in fi nancial support, but the board 

continues to work diligently toward the goal of launching 30 new faith communities. The goal may not be complete by Dec. 31, 

2012, but it is believed that the goal will be completed in God’s good time. Please pray for the God who holds the earth in loving 

arms to show the way to the people, partners and resources needed to accomplish this goal with a holy boldness. 

SIMPLIFIED STRATEGIC PLAN 

CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT | WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE 

Guiding Vision: Follow Jesus, Make Disciples, Transform the World 

Goal: Launch 30 New Faith Communities in 3 Years (by Dec. 31, 2012) 

1. Significant Opportunities: Leadership – launching 30 new faith communities requires the involvement of dozens 

of leaders at every level of the conference structure. 

a. New Faith Community launch pastors who are called, gifted and committed to serve without reservation as 

leaders to develop new faith communities in which new people in large numbers become followers of Jesus, 

missionally engaged disciples whose lives impact their community and transform the lives of people. 

i. Recruitment – use social media, 30in3.org website, seminary visits, preaching opportunities, 

word of mouth, district superintendents and bishop to open the door for potential launch pastors 

to step forward and begin a discernment process for becoming a church planter. Recruitment 

among under-represented people groups is to be a particular focus, including African-American, 

Hispanic/Latino and Asian people groups. 

ii. Discernment – use a respected, well tested discernment process to encourage potential church 

planters to assess themselves and to provide excellent information and resources to conference 

leaders to assess their potential as church planters in the WNC Conference. 

iii. Deployment – conference, district and sponsoring congregation(s) provide salary support grants,


start up capital, and personnel to provide adequate resources to launch new faith communities. 

b. Launch Teams – committed Christians from existing congregations who give themselves for a time or 

permanently to support the launch of new faith communities, including small group developers, children’s 

ministry developers, worship and arts developers, evangelistic outreach personnel, marketing and 

communications. 

i. Recruitment – testimonies, social media, promotion by pastors and leaders in existing churches 

to identify candidates for launch teams 

ii. Training – launch pastors and staff to train launch team members 

iii. Deployment – originating congregations commission launch team members to serve in this 

intensive missional role and pray for their service through their time of deployment. 

c. District Boards of Congregational Development – function differently by district presently. The goal for 

2011.-12 is to get a more standardized understanding and set of operating principles functioning across 

districts. 

i. District boards are currently dominated by clergy leadership, so increase the number of lay 

leaders on the board to a 2 to 1 ratio of active lay to clergy members. 

ii. Defi ne cross-district operating principles for new church plants on or near the borders of districts 

and multi-site campuses that cross district geographies. 

iii. Each district board will: 

1. Annually study the demographic profi le of their district and identify missional 

opportunities to connect with under-served populations of people, at least examining 

geographic, ethnographic, and socio-economic factors that impact missional 

opportunities for churches and leaders in the district. 

2. Identify potential new faith communities that could be launched based on the missional 

opportunities. 

3. Identify potential partnerships by local church, clergy and lay leaders who might address 

those missional new faith community opportunities. Particular attention needs to be 

given to securing strong partners for new churches reaching under-represented people 

groups including African American, Hispanic/Latino and Asian people groups. [NOTE: 

rural districts need to undertake this process as much or even more than urban districts. 

The opportunities in rural areas are often hidden by remoteness from the middle class 

patterns of life that dominate the United Methodist churches. These rural missional 

opportunities will not be uncovered without an active, focused operational pattern that 

seeks them out]. 

4. Actively recruit potential launch pastors and launch team members for new faith 

communities in collaboration with the WNCC Offi ce of Congregational Development. 

5. Develop fi nancial resources to provide capital support for new faith communities 

start up costs within their districts, including a signifi cant district apportionment for 

Congregational Development. 

d. Conference Board of Congregational Development – develops resources to support the launch of new 

faith communities in Western North Carolina. Goals for 2011 include: 

i. Increase the number of active lay members of the Board to a 2 to 1 ratio with clergy. Replace 

inactive members with passionate leaders who are committed to supporting new faith community 

development with their prayers, their time, their talent, their giving and their witness. 

ii. In collaboration with Bishop Goodpaster and the episcopal offi ce, develop a major funds 

campaign for the annual conference to consider to support the launching of new faith 

communities.

3. Professions of Faith 

4. Missional Engagement 

5. Giving and Finances 

vi. Collaborate with the director of Congregational Development to address any needs that the new

f. The Director of Congregational Development – leads and guides the recruitment, discernment and 

deployment of new faith community launch pastors and launch teams for the conference, trains and 

equips the district superintendents and district Boards of Congregational Development for the work of 

New Faith Community Development, supports the Congregational Vitality Team supporting hundreds of 

churches becoming vital, disciple making, missional congregations. 2011 Goals: 

i. Promote the development of New Faith Communities by: 

1. Communicating effectively with the annual conference lay and clergy leaders, 

Connectional Table and Council on Finance and Administration “Why is it so important to 

launch new faith communities?” 

2. Communicating with existing and potential donors to cultivate fruitful individual and 

congregational support for new faith communities. “Vital Partners for New Faith 

Communities.” 

3. Connecting conceptually in the minds of lay and clergy members of the Annual 

Conference the practices that lead to the launch of new faith communities with the 

practices that lead to the growth and health of existing churches, “Remembering the 

Forgotten Ways.” 

ii. Continue to identify and develop new funding sources for New Faith Community Development. 

iii. Train all district Boards of Congregational Development 

iv. Recruit and encourage the discernment process for the next 20 new faith community launch 

pastors 

v. Collaborate with the district superintendents and district boards to identify potential sponsoring/ 

partnering/originating congregations that will deploy launch pastors during the coming years. 

vi. Assist the district superintendents to fulfi ll their conference mandated continuing education 

requirements in Congregational Development. (February 2008 Annual Conference: The district 

superintendents shall complete a continuing education course in Congregational Development at 

least once every two years) 

vii. Collaborate with the bishop and district superintendents to appoint fi ve pastors to launch new 

faith communities during 2011 (or more if funding allows) 

g. Bishop Goodpaster – Guides the director of Congregational Development and district superintendents 

in the development of New Faith Communities and works to develop fi nancial resources to support the 

ongoing work of new faith communities. Goals under consideration for 2011: 

i. Develop leadership, structure, gain support and approval for a major funds campaign for the WNC 

Annual Conference to support the work of New Faith Community Development. 

ii. Communicate effectively to key lay and clergy leaders the importance of launching new faith 

communities. 

2. Significant Opportunities: Funding 

a. Develop a major funds campaign in collaboration with Bishop Goodpaster, the Board of Congregational 

Development, The United Methodist Foundation, The Duke Endowment, The Council on Finance and 

Administration and key lay and clergy leaders of the annual conference. The goal for this multi-year fund 

campaign for new faith communities would be set by the end of 2011 after a feasibility study and needs 

assessment has been completed by the conference leadership. The fi rst year goal for the campaign 

should be not less than $1,000,000. [NOTE: The Florida Annual Conference raised $20 million to create 

an endowment for the perpetual funding of new faith community development] 

b. Provide apportionment funding adequate to fund salary support for ten new faith community launches 

for the year 2012 and recommend at least this level of funding for succeeding years, providing a total 

of $700,000 for the 2012 apportionment to the WNC conference churches for new faith community 

development. The Council on Finance and Administration is asked to provide this funding either by 

increasing the bottom line of the annual conference budget or by reducing the administrative costs of the 

conference rather than by decreasing support for the other valid ministries of the WNC conference.


c. Request districts to prayerfully and missionally consider increasing their district apportionments to at 

least $5.00 per member for the support of New Faith Communities to be directed by the district Board 

of Congregational Development, but used missionally within or beyond the district area (295,000 x 

$5.00 = $1.475m). [NOTE: The Texas Conference, virtually equal in size and budget to WNC, apportions 

$1.7 million for Congregational Development at the conference level and another $1.7 million for 

Congregational Development at the district level] 

d. Work closely with the conference trustees and district superintendents to sell abandoned properties so 

funds can be expended in support of New Faith Community Development at the district and conference 

level. 

e. Launch pastors and launch teams also will be expected to personally raise funding from local churches, 

foundations and missionally minded individuals to support start up costs for their new faith communities. 

The goal for each launch team equaling 10% of the projected start up and salary support costs for the new 

launch, or approximately $30,000 for each team. 

(Refer to Petition 7, Section IX, page 280, for more funding information.)

E. COUNCIL ON CAMPUS MINISTRY 

The WNCC Council on Campus Ministry represents the Conference with regard to United Methodist campus ministries. 

Primary among the responsibilities are funding allocation, accountability, support for campus ministry boards and ministers, and 

advocating for campus ministries. 

This past year the council was able to see outstanding growth in each of the ministries. The newly established campus 

ministry at N.C. A&T has continued to stabilize and grow. The Wesley-Luther Campus Ministry at UNC-Greensboro has grown in 

programming, fi nancial stability, and number of lives changed through the diligent efforts of their board. 

In Charlotte, as a part of the ecumenical campus ministry, Johnson & Wales and Central Piedmont Community College are 

now beginning new campus ministries. Also, the council is now proud to announce that the United Methodist Campus Ministry 

at UNC-Asheville has become a full-time ministry for the fi rst time in their history. The council is deeply proud of these highlights 

of rejuvenated and renewed ministry. But the council recognizes the on-going work of sharing the Gospel through all of the 

outstanding campus ministries. 

The campus ministers do an outstanding work of planning for the future while maintaining the solid ministries in place. 

Each of the local campus ministry boards is facing the challenge of raising money to ensure the future sustainability of their 

campus ministries. The campus ministers have provided strong leadership for their boards and in conversation with the Council 

on Campus Ministry. The seven campus ministers are uniquely gifted for ministry with young adults. They offer leadership in the 

larger United Methodist connection as well as on their college and university campuses. Despite relatively low funding for their 

programming, they manage to provide the highest quality of commitment and ministry. They deserve great recognition for the 

work they perform every week on campus. 

The challenges facing campus ministry in our Conference are numerous. As one might expect, funding is perhaps the most 

pressing need. Campus ministry is facing budget cuts for 2012, so the campus ministries will grow increasingly dependent 

upon their districts, alumni, area churches, and individual gifts. In addition to funding, though, each campus ministry can use 

volunteers for anything from preparing meals to building repairs to offi ce assistance. The council hopes that United Methodists 

will recognize their heritage on college and university campuses and rise to meet the challenges of the coming years.

F. HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 

1. ALDERSGATE UNITED METHODIST RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, INC. 

Aldersgate’s mission “to provide excellent continuing care services for older adults” remains strong, offering the best in 

services and care by dedicated staff. Aldersgate has a tradition of respecting the aging process and offering the programs, 

spaces, dedication and caring people to allow adults to age with dignity and grace. 

One of the primary successes continues to be the certifi cation of Asbury Care Center, a skilled nursing facility, to be able 

to accept Medicare assignment for residents and for senior adults in the larger community. Through a strong relationship with 

Hospice and Palliative Care of Charlotte, Aldersgate is able to serve individuals with terminal illnesses who require a higher 

level of acute care. Asbury is a leader in providing excellence in service by highly qualifi ed staff. The fi nancial effect of Medicare 

certifi cation continues to be positive, as has the impact on Aldersgate residents who have peace of mind knowing that this 

service is readily available to them on campus and to the larger community as well. A team of three Asbury nursing assistants 

who were crucial in Aldersgate’s Medicare success received the 2010 Nursing Assistant Award sponsored by NCANPHA, the 

state association of non-profi t homes for the aging, for their outstanding service in promoting quality of care to meet residents’ 

psychological, social, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. 

Aldersgate @ Home, the licensed home care agency opened in the summer of 2010, offering services such as medication 

reminders, companions for physician visits, running errands and providing assistance with activities of daily living; thus, allowing 

residents to maintain their independence while having their needs met at ‘home’. Planning is underway to allow for this program 

to go into the broader community to enable older adults to remain in their homes outside of the Aldersgate campus. Aldersgate 

hopes to be able to provide even greater value to the parishioners in the local churches with this ministry. 

The Wellness Programs remain strong with the opening of “The Body Shop,” a 1200 square foot state-of-the-art fi tness 

facility that provides fi tness machines and space for weight training. The Body Shop is used regularly by the on-site rehabilitation 

team. An indoor warm-water pool allows staff to lead activities including Aquacise and arthritis-relief classes. Line dancing, 

square dancing, tai chi, yoga, gardening and golfi ng are just a few activities available to help residents remain fi t and have fun! 

Aldersgate’s “Friends in Deed” is a resident-based program, inspired by a caring resident as a way for residents to befriend 

other residents who may benefi t from a little extra care to cope with grief, illness and life’s changes through the aging process. 

NCANPHA also awarded resident, Dori Fuller, their 2010 Volunteer Achievement Award for her tireless contributions to Aldersgate 

through the Friends-in-Deed program to enhance the quality of life for residents and to the fi eld of aging. 

Under the leadership of Aldersgate’s Development Committee, three strategic planning teams were appointed in 2010, one 

of which is studying options to implement and provide a more intentional ‘person-centered care’ philosophy and environment on 

campus through staff training and programs. Aldersgate has a long history of providing fi nancial assistance to older adults with 

limited resources, typically single, widowed, pastors and/or their spouses and the second planning team is researching further methods 

to provide fi nancial assistance to residents. A third planning team is developing an “Aldersgate Outreach Program” focusing on the 

six surrounding United Methodist Districts to increase visibility of its ministry for older adults, to encourage Aldersgate residents 

to support their local churches, and to encourage local churches to increase their participation on the Aldersgate campus. 

Aldersgate’s residents make an impact. Last year, Aldersgate residents collectively contributed over 5,000 hours of volunteer 

service in the community. Residents have joined others along Shamrock Drive who seek to bring a Farmer’s Market to this 

area and this summer are doing a community garden that will be a partnership with youth in a Parks and Recreation program. 

Residents and staff give very freely of their time and efforts to provide support to the surrounding and broader community by 

assisting churches to support fund-raising and missionary efforts, in area schools helping children to improve their academic 

skills, and with local community groups such as the Alzheimer’s Association. In addition, Aldersgate continues to contribute 

to the community through reduced land leases to campus neighbors - WNCC Memorial Center, Shamrock Senior Center, three 

UMAR ladies’ group homes, Alzheimer’s Association and Charlotte Museum of History. 

Aldersgate is privileged to have a dedicated group of individuals serving as volunteers on the Board of Directors and Board 

of Advisors. These individuals, all of whom are active in many aspects of their communities, are committed to advocacy for 

and decision-making with older adults in an effort to provide the most fulfi lling lifestyle possible for those who choose to live at 

Aldersgate, and for causes that are pertinent to healthy living and wellness in aging for older adults . Aldersgate lost one of its 

most active and committed advocates in 2010 with the passing of Robert W. Lawing, Sr. after a courageous battle with cancer; 

Bob was a member of the third generation of the Lawing Family who served The Methodist Home/Aldersgate since its founding 

in 1945. A memorial garden is being dedicated in his memory. 

Aldersgate is blessed to serve within the Western North Carolina Conference as it strives to fulfi ll its mission.

2. ARBOR ACRES UNITED METHODIST RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, INC. 

Arbor Acres enjoyed a superlative year in 2010, a time of tangible progress toward expansion of ministry, and of fi nding 

within change the steadying presence of God. Foremost, this year has been marked by construction of a 12-bed expansion of 

Arbor Acres’ MemoryCare facility, and of an 111,000 square foot Assisted Living Apartment Building. Both the product of years 

of planning, and meticulous assessment of immediate and long-range needs, these new structures will position Arbor Acres 

for greater service. Additionally, 2010 saw growth in Arbor Acres’ capacity to serve residents with fi nancial need. A total of 38 

residents, the largest number ever, received fi nancial assistance in 2010 at a cost of $1,280,015. This achievement belongs not 

to Arbor Acres; rather it speaks of the generosity of the church and of donors moved by the plight of the neediest of our brothers 

and sisters. 

Other 2010 accomplishments include: 

• Completion and occupancy of 12 new moderately priced houses for independent living residents. 

• Completion of planning for a new independent living residential neighborhood on recently acquired contiguous 

property. The Asbury Neighborhood construction began in 2010 and will be complete and ready for occupancy by 

yearend 2011. 

• Active engagement of the Resident Council in outreach programs, the most extensive of which generated $30,000 

in donations for Meals on Wheels. 

• Maintenance of full occupancy of all accommodations in both independent living areas, and licensed care facilities, 

this during a time of exceptionally high turnover of residences and of challenging economic conditions. 

• Enlargement of the Financial Assistance Endowment Fund, which now exceeds $10,000,000. 

• Celebration of 30 years of active ministry to residents, which was marked without fanfare on March 3, 2010, the 

anniversary of the opening of Arbor Acres. 

• Successful tax-exempt bond fi nancing to cover costs associated with new construction. 

• Completion of a capital campaign for Assisted Living and MemoryCare generating gifts and pledges totaling 

$2,280,418.97. 

• Substantial reduction in employee turnover, a manifestation of challenging economic times, but also a 

consequence of improved wages and renewed focus on the quality of the workplace environment. 

In 2011, Arbor Acres will see the full occupancy of the new MemoryCare addition and the completion of construction of both 

the Asbury Neighborhood and the new Assisted Living Building. Arbor Acre’s prayers daily include gratitude for God’s guidance 

through the present into the future, and for the love and support of the Western North Carolina Conference, a partner in this 

sacred mission.

3. THE CHILDREN’S HOME 

In 2010, your Children’s Home, the longest-standing Western North Carolina Conference Health and Human Services 

institution, began its Second Century of ministry to children and their families across the Conference’s denominational footprint. 

Founding documents state that The Children’s Home was established to “support, care for, and train indigent and orphan 

children, and those without support and protection.” While always striving to hold true to this missional intent of the Methodist 

founders, The Children’s Home has also continually evolved over the last hundred years to remain relevant and responsive to 

the ever-changing needs of children and families in this society and in the surrounding communities. Those served today include 

abused and emotionally scarred children and youth; homeless teens—some of them with children themselves; young people 

caught up in the insidious cycles of addiction; and the developmentally disabled. 

Here are highlights from this past year, as The Children’s Home continues its current-day mission “to grow healthy futures for 

children, youth, and families by ministering to the mind, body, and spirit:” 

• The Children’s Home continued a strong fi ve-year growth trend in 2010, increasing the number served by 25% over 

2009. 

• A total of 1,013 individual children and family members participated last year in TCH core programs: residential 

care, foster care and adoption, on-campus school, day treatment, respite care, family counseling, and community 

services—on the two campuses in Winston-Salem and Franklin. 

• Renovation of the historic Reynolds Cottage, once fondly known as “the baby cottage,” has been completed, and is 

housing infants and toddlers once again in the form of “My Aunt’s House,” a residential program for homeless teen 

mothers, and “Peek-A-Moo” an accredited child care center that is serving young moms and many other families 

with children in the larger community. 

• The Kingswood School was re-opened for the 2010-2011 academic year as a full-fl edged part of the local school 

system. More than 70 students—including the residential youth and others from the community—are attending 

middle and high school on the campus. It is expected that Kingswood will continue to expand to its full capacity of 

150 students in the coming school years. 

• A new Healing Center was recently certifi ed and is serving residential elementary-age children with signifi cant 

emotional trauma, under the supervision of medical professionals. 

• Another meaningful recently-added program is residential respite care for developmentally-delayed children, youth 

and young adults (autism and downs syndrome.) 

• RE-START, The Children’s Home’s latest cutting-edge program for youth affected by drugs and alcohol, is now 

occupying another newly renovated cottage as of 2010. 

• The ministry to abused and neglected children who can no longer live at home has doubled. In addition to Gray 

Cottage, Stultz Cottage—now known as “Opportunity House”—houses these young people. 

The Children’s Home alignment with the Conference vision, mission, and goals includes the following: 

• To Follow Jesus and provide Discipleship opportunities for congregations, helping engage in the Transformation of 

lives, as well as communities, and the larger world; 

• The Children’s Home frequently partners with numerous local church Mission Teams to fulfi ll both the agency 

mission and the mission of the Church; 

• There is an impact on children and families has nurtured United Methodist Church Memberships throughout the 

Conference; 

• The campus provides a wealth of opportunities for Congregational Connection in the areas of Confi rmation 

Classes, a new “Destination Bible School: Mission in My Backyard,” and Outdoor Experiences that help Revitali ze 

Congregations; and 

• Cutting edge Ministries are offered to those within this Conference, including the recently expanded focus area 

of expertise in mental health/substance abuse counseling, as well as teen homelessness—there is always a bed 

reserved on The Children’s Home campus for referral by United Methodist clergy. 

United Methodist friends continue to respond to the many needs at The Children’s Home, and they are grateful for the 

generous fi nancial support and caring discipleship demonstrated by individuals and congregations across the Conference. 

In 2010, a total of 1,480 caring individuals donated 12,366 volunteer hours at the agency—this includes many dedicated 

members from United Methodist and other congregations. Also last year, nearly 500 churches in the Conference were engaged 

with The Children’s Home in ongoing work. 

As ways are sought to “minister to the spirit” of the young people, The Children’s Home has recently retained an ordained 

United Methodist clergyperson to both serve on the campus as Chaplain, and to connect with the denomination as Church Liaison. 

And The Children’s Home continues to look forward to the WNCC’s future plans to support a new Church Start on the campus. 

The Centennial Capital Campaign continues to be successful in helping to assure that the next hundred years of this ministry 

will be even more successful than its fi rst. “Goodness Grows Here” is a fi tting slogan for this campaign that not only refers to a 

revitalized farming program, but more importantly to the healing and growth of those children and families entrusted to the care 

of The Children’s Home. The kids today, and those of the future, depend upon church partners to continue responding to Jesus’ 

call to serve the “least of these.”

4. GIVENS ESTATES UNITED METHODIST RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, INC. 

In weathering the economic storm of the past three years, Givens Estates has found that the innovation, creativity, 

commitment, and compassion of its residents, Board, staff, and friends have made them strong. They have improved its 

organization and mission. Givens Estates has been blessed with strong fi nancials, healthy census, excellent satisfaction surveys, 

and positive state and federal inspections. But the most meaningful blessing is walking with residents and their families through 

life changes. It is considered a privilege and honor. The true foundation of Givens Estates’ blessings can be found in ministry 

and in touching lives. In spite of the turmoil around, the unique spirit of Givens is alive and well. 

With much support from the community, Givens has developed a progressive strategic plan which is broad, specifi c, and 

fl exible. The objectives are to advance the mission, to be relevant to current and future residents, and to be fi nancially strong. 

Givens considered internal and external opportunities over the next seven to ten years. They identifi ed facilities, programs, and 

services to be developed, renovated, and replaced. They identifi ed several new market rate, affordable, and subsidized projects 

east and west of the Asheville campus for potential development. Givens is methodically pacing the implementation of its plans 

with the economy. 

The Great Laurels of Lake Junaluska continues to effectively serve residents with modest incomes in Haywood County. The 

project provides independent living apartments with support services which enable residents to remain in their homes longer (thus 

delaying and, in some cases, eliminating the need for nursing care). The Great Laurels is located across from Lake Junaluska. 

Since its inception in 1998, LifeMinistries has been providing opportunities to build outreach ministries that revitalize 

churches and restore communities within the Asheville, Marion, and Waynesville Districts. Last year, LifeMinistries played an 

integral role in opening three new Welcome Tables in East Asheville, downtown Asheville, and the Leicester community. There 

are now six established Welcome Tables in the region serving approximately 33,000 meals annually to congregation and 

community members, many of whom also receive wellness education, access to legal aid, and housing and utility assistance. 

Reverend Joseph M. Fulk, Jr. is retiring at this annual conference. Joe has served as the Director of Ministries since 2001. 

He has ministered to The Givens community and been a pastor and friend to the residents, Board, and staff. He has rejoiced 

with the community in good times and shared the burden of its sorrows during diffi cult times. He has guided hundreds as they 

journeyed through this life to the life eternal, all the while supporting families and friends during these transitions. Through it 

all, he has provided calm assurance and peace. Givens is grateful to Joe for his 31 years in ministry and for his 10 years in this 

community. He has blessed others beyond measure. Though Dianne and Joe will be missed, Givens celebrates their ministry.

5. UMAR–WNC, INC. 

Through Our Doors, Lives Are Changing. 

Founded in 1983 by the Western NC Conference, UMAR-WNC, Inc., is dedicated to promoting community inclusion, 

independence, and growth for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout western North Carolina. UMAR 

currently supports more than 325 adults through residential, employment, and cultural enrichment opportunities. UMAR 

believes that every person, despite their disability, who desires to live and work in his or her community, can be successful. 

As a resource for outreach ministry to adults with disabilities, you can engage your congregation in the work of UMAR in 

numerous ways. For more information on ways to get involved, visit www.UMARinfo.com. 

Accomplishments/Highlights from 2010: 

• Acquired day services in Rockingham County which serves over 65 adults with disabilities. UMAR at the ROC 

supports Rockingham County individuals through an array of vocational opportunities such as traditional 

employment, mobile work crews, horticulture and arts. As a key partner, The Northeast District is helping UMAR 

successful transition what was a sheltered workshop into a more community-oriented facility. 

• Began construction on an independent living model for three residents who will live independently in the 

community with minimal supervision. Built by Wesley Community Development Corporation on property provided by 

Mt. Zion UMC, this is a connectional project between the Lake Norman District and UMAR. 

Goals for 2011: 

• Completion and occupancy of the independent living model with a house blessing in late spring. 

• Establishing an arts program in Lincoln County. The program will be located in downtown Lincolnton and be 

modeled after successful live/work projects. 

• Construction of an eight-unit apartment complex on the grounds of Huntersville UMC. These apartments will provide 

more independent living options for residents who desire to and are able to live outside a group home setting. 

• Re-alignment of strategic leadership initiatives to focus on service expansion/acquisition opportunities, staff 

relations, fund-raising and organizational messaging.

6. CHRYSALIS COUNSELING AND CONSULTATION CENTER 

The vision of the Chrysalis Centers is to be a community of faith in which all persons have access to quality, compassionate 

and affordable health care which integrates body, mind and spirit. It is supported by conference giving and the Greensboro, 

Lexington and High Point districts. 

• The Chrysalis Center is a non-profi t, 501(c) 3, fee-based center providing counseling and psychotherapy for 

individuals, couples, families and children who may be experiencing mental health and spiritual issues. 

• They consult with churches and pastoral staff to provide mediation, education and spiritual renewal. 

2010 has witnessed an increase in contacts by persons with emotional health issues of depression, anxiety, marriage/ 

family issues and recovery. The need is great but the qualifi ed workers remain few. It is the organization’s belief that healing and 

wholeness involves treating the body and mind and integrating Judeo-Christian faith with a modern understanding of human 

development. 

Extend the Ministry of the Church 

Chrysalis Centers experienced many changes in 2010 that will improve quality and service for those who use it. Almost 20 

% of services were directed toward clergy health in 2010. With just part-time counseling service, the centers in Lexington and 

Greensboro have extended over 1200 hours of professional care for individuals, couples and families. Church support for this 

mental health ministry has grown in 2010 through contributions to the Samaritan Counseling Scholarship Fund. 

Ministry for 2011 

1. Chrysalis centers are attempting to build healthier congregations through direct care and consultation services. 

There is interest in establishing satellite counseling offi ces in each of the districts served and actively solicit help in 

establishing them. 

2. A Pastoral Care Consultation group for ministers interested in developing their pastoral care skills for their local 

congregations continues to be offered. CEU’s are provided as well as pathways toward Pastoral Care Specialist 

certifi cation with the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. Funding may be provided by continuing 

education grants and congregational support. If interested, please contact the director at (336)-852-0626. 

3. The Samaritan Scholarship Fund has been created to provide quality, professional counseling to persons who 

are unable to afford it because of job loss, or insurance issues. The fund is now up and running thanks to the 

generosity of churches and individuals. No person should be denied help in time of crisis. Contributions will extend 

the light of God’s grace to those who “sit in darkness.”

7. METHODIST COUNSELING AND CONSULTATION SERVICES (MCCS) 

Methodist Counseling and Consultation Services (MCCS) is an agency that offers counseling and psychotherapy, consultation 

to individuals, clergy, congregations, and districts on a variety of issues, clergy assessments and testing, and educational 

programs for church groups as well as congregations and districts. MCCS is a specialized ministry extending the ministry of local 

congregations to persons who seek hope in the midst of their despair, light in their darkness, and God’s healing grace. MCCS 

provides certifi ed pastoral counselors who meet persons where they are on their journey through life. In a high-tech society, the 

pastoral counselors bring a personal touch. While psychiatrists offer pills to treat life’s problems, and psychologists offer limited 

sessions due to managed-care restrictions, MCCS pastoral counselors offer a relationship that will last as long as the process of 

healing takes and at considerably less cost. 

MCCS serves an important referral source for pastors, who often do not have the time or the specialized training to work 

with persons in local congregations who are hurting. Having qualifi ed pastoral counselors that you respect makes referral for 

parishioners a lot easier. 

MCCS historically serves six districts that cover an 11-county area. In the past year, MCCS provided 7623 hours of individual, 

marital, family, and group therapy. They provided 96 hours of consultation with congregations and individuals and conducted 

245 hours of workshops and educational events for congregations. MCCS has a website that is updated monthly along with a 

quarterly journal, Cardia-gram, both of which can be accessed at www.mccsvs.com. MCCS is a service center that is accredited 

by both the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) and the Samaritan Institute. 

Thanks to Nancy Ratcliff, who handles the fi nances and Dr. John Arey, who serves as Executive Director and as a delegate to 

the MCCS Board, it has been an excellent year. It is MCCS’ belief that referring to licensed pastoral counselors who are able to 

provide caring, compassionate, and quality ministry provides a sound basis for helping and healing others through this arm of 

the annual conference. 

To learn more about the MCCS clinical services and sites, workshops, and consultations, as well as to make contributions 

to the Samaritan Client Assistance Fund to aid persons without the fi nancial means who seek professional pastoral counseling,

John V. Arey, Jr., Clinical Service Director

that board: 

James Westmoreland Sam Smith Charles Gibbons Jessie Caldwell

8. THE POTTER’S TOUCH 

The Potter’s Touch provides counseling and spiritual direction service for United Methodists in the Asheville, Marion, and 

Waynesville districts. Through a network of trained, experienced counselors, the Potter’s Touch seeks to be an instrument of the 

Church in answering Christ’s call to engage in the ministries of healing, reconciliation, and hope. Through the network of trained 

and experienced spiritual directors, the Potter’s Touch seeks to offer help in discernment and direction for individuals and small 

groups seeking to grow spiritually. 

The Potter’s Touch offers limited fi nancial assistance for counseling and spiritual direction. Persons are expected to use 

insurance and pay as they are able, but the possibility of assistance makes the ministries more affordable. As a non-profi t 

agency, Potter’s Touch receives support from the annual conference, the districts, churches, grants, and individual donors. 

In 2010 the network of counselors and spiritual directors offered roughly 1070 hours of care directly impacting laity and 

clergy members from across the three districts. One of the ongoing objectives for the Potter’s Touch board of directors is to 

increase services in the rural areas of the Potter’s Touch network as new providers partner with us in this call to care. Both 

board members and providers are available to present the mission of this healing ministry to local churches and district events. 

Additionally, the Potter’s Touch website (www.potterstouch.net) is a resource where persons can become familiar with the 

breadth and scope of this ministry as well as obtain a list of our current providers. 

Kent Smith, Board President 

9. UNITED METHODIST DEAF MINISTRY-WNC, INC. 

Every day 750 Deaf worldwide die without Jesus. In Matthew 11:5 Jesus says “Go back to John and tell him about what you 

have heard and seen—the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good 

News is being preached to the poor.” 

The Mission of Deaf Ministry of the WNCC is: To make Jesus Christ and the United Methodist Church accessible, available, 

and welcoming to D/deaf/HH persons in the WNCC. 

In 1969, the Rev. Tom Summey was received back from the military having served as a Chaplain during the Vietnam Confl ict 

and the Korean War by Bishop Earl Hunt in the late 1960s. He served a large United Methodist Church in Greensboro until his 

hearing loss, due to excessive loud gunshot fi re, took his ability to serve his congregants effectively. 

Bishop Earl Hunt met with the Rev. Summey in 1970 and proposed that he return to school at Lenoir-Rhyne College, learn 

sign language, and create Deaf Ministry. 

In 1971 Deaf Ministry was born in the North Carolina Mountains thanks to the vision of Bishop Hunt and the willingness of 

the Rev. Summey. 

Over the past 40 years the little ministry has come down off the mountain and reached out to the whole conference under 

the leadership of various devoted hearts to Jesus that have a passion for the deaf and hh (hard of hearing) in Western NC. 

The board has been working very hard this year promoting ministry/mission for the deaf/hh throughout the conference 

and globally with the assistance of the United Methodist Congress of the Deaf. This summer, 40 years of Deaf Ministry in this 

conference will be celebrated at Lake Junaluska. Prominent deaf and hearing speakers will be welcomed to Lake Junaluska to 

present workshops on topics such as mental health, missions, and a special one day workshop for church leaders interested 

in starting a deaf ministry at their church. We are excited to have Bishop Peggy Johnson, former pastor of Christ Deaf Church 

in Baltimore for 20 years and current bishop of the Philadelphia Conference, as the keynote speaker. The Rev. Leo Yates is 

welcomed back to Western NC who will present the needs of the deaf in various areas of mental health. 

The focus of the summer retreat will be on missions, local and foreign. The title, “Hearts touched by Grace” tells the story 

of how God touched many hearts, and now disciples are going out to the world to share what they have and touch others with 

the Grace of God. The leadership is prayerful that many of the deaf attending the retreat will take the information they glean 

at the conference back to their home community and develop new leaders in the deaf community. The goal is to plant seeds 

at Lake Junaluska, NC that will grow and spread throughout the nation. Working ecumenically side by side with brothers and 

sisters from other denominations, the number of deaf dying every day without knowing Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be 

reduced. It seems that The Rev. Summey and Bishop Hunt would be proud to see how the ministry is coming out of the church, 

off of the mountain, and into the hearts and homes of deaf, hard of hearing, and those living on the fringe of life because of an 

invisible disability. The Western North Carolina Deaf Ministry is becoming a mission minded ministry, and your help and support 

is needed. It is important that 25 churches or church groups pledge to adopt the ministry fi nancially for 10 years. Can you give a 

$1 a day for ten years to deaf ministry? Help this ministry bring the “Good News to the Poor.” 

Beverly Maulden, Director

G. BOARD OF LAITY 

The Board of Laity works to develop and implement policies and activities to strengthen the involvement of the laity in the 

churches of the conference. The board strives to facilitate a mutual ministry among lay people and clergy in the churches. 

The board is composed of the conference lay leader (president), the resident bishop, the 15 district lay leaders, the 

conference presidents of the UMM and UMW, the vice-chair of the Conference Youth Council, the conference director of lay 

speaking, a cabinet representative, and 12 members-at-large. 

The board met in August at Lake Junaluska, in conjunction with the annual Gathering of the Laity. On Nov. 21, they met at 

Central UMC in Asheville. The director of discipleship ministries, Jennifer Davis, met with the board to discuss her role on the 

conference staff. On Feb. 20, there was a meeting at Tabernacle UMC in Greensboro. The May 15 meeting at Macedonia UMC 

in Southmont featured a report from Steve James, the director of Congregational Development. The board enjoys meeting and 

worshipping in churches throughout the conference. 

The board annually sponsors the Gathering of the Laity. The 46 th Gathering is scheduled for Aug. 12-14 at Lake Junaluska 

with the theme, “Serve Joyfully.” Keynote speakers will be Dr. Leonard Sweet, The Rev. Rosemary Brown, and Dr. Earl Wilson, 

Jr. Music leadership will be provided by Charles and Gail Litaker. Music will also be provided by the Lake Junaluska Singers. 

Recipients of the Laity Service Award will be recognized on Saturday afternoon. 

The board has acquired the services of the Rev. Edward Hammett to conduct three Saturday seminars dealing with lay and 

clergy leadership in multi-generational congregations. The Rev. Hammett and James Pierce co-authored the book, Reaching 

People Under 40 While Keeping People Over 60. The sessions will be held on Oct. 22, Oct. 29, and Nov. 12. Similar sessions will 

be held in the Charlotte-Gastonia area, the Greensboro-High Point area, and in Asheville. 

Robert D. Upchurch, President and Conference Lay Leader 

H. UNITED METHODIST MEN 

There is an old African-American spiritual with these words, “I said I wasn’t gonna tell nobody but I could not keep in to 

myself, what the Lord has done to and for our men’s ministry. It has been a very productive and exciting year in the Western 

North Carolina Conference. It is with honor and privilege that this, The “State of the UMM” address is delivered. 

Throughout the long history of service to and through the over 129,000 men the Western North Carolina Conference, United 

Methodist Men have been intentional in spreading the Gospel through Men’s Ministry and Missions both at home and abroad. 

Thank you all of the men for their commitment and dedication shown throughout the year. 

An additional initiative to our major emphases programs has been added this year. The fi ve program initiatives now include: 

• Funding for the Upper Room Prayer Line- An Annual commitment is $1000 and an additional amount which is 

collected at a special offering during the Spiritual Rally. 

• The Children’s Home – All proceeds from the annual Golf Outing are donated to the Children’s Home. In addition, 

the men have delivered over 5,000 man hours in volunteer services to the Children’ home during 2010-2011. The 

typical collection for the Children’s home during the rally is approximately $3500 including the sale of lapel pins. 

• Second career Pastor’s Scholarships- The UMM sponsored scholarship program each year provides assistance to 

men and women who are entering the UM ministry as a second career, who will be attending an approved school 

and who plan to serve in Western North Carolina. Six to twelve scholarships each year are funded using funds 

contributed by UMM units. The total scholarship offerings for 2010 were $6000 to fi ve recipients. 

• Scouting Ministry: Each year over 100 Boy Scouts are hosted at the Annual Rally and during the weekend each of 

them received a special attendance badge from the UMM of the Western North Carolina Conference. A Scouting 

Ministry Specialist Program as recently been implemented in the conference to help local churches establish and 

expand scouting ministry opportunities. It is a privilege to have 2 scouting ministry specialists in this conference. 

• Disaster and Mission Team Support: Although this is a new focused initiative, the men throughout the conference 

have been responding to the needs local community and disaster spots for a number of years. During 2010, more 

than 5000 United Methodist Men in the Western North Carolina Conference have assisted in disaster relief efforts 

and provided mission support to the areas such the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Haiti, and other areas including various 

districts within the conference. In addition to the manpower, the WNC United Methodist Men have raised over 

$600,000 for disaster and mission relief efforts. 

The district level training program for United Methodist Men called “Understanding Men’s Ministry” has been published and 

the UMM is pleased to announce that this program was born out of the Western North Carolina Conference and is available for 

purchase on the General Commission website, www.gcumm.org. It is being used throughout the country by Methodist Men and 

by the Lay Speaking Ministry. In addition, it is pleasing to have two of the Men’s Ministry Specialists in this conference. 

The WNC UMM remains one of the leading chartered conferences in the Southeast jurisdiction and the United States. 

A new conference-wide program called “Men in Balance” has been initiated. The purpose of the Men in Balance program is 

to provide men a forum in which they can learn about themselves and share their ideas about the joys and challenges of being 

an adult male. Some of the goals are: 

• To facilitate the process of men establishing (or re-establishing) themselves as the spiritual co-leader of their family. 

• To create a safe environment in which men can examine their lives in light of their own spiritual nature and its 

implications for their lives 

Finally, it is pleasing to report that the Annual Spiritual Rally was held on April 8 through 10 th and in took on somewhat new 

dynamics. Representatives from the Children’s home were invited to share their success story with those present. There were


several outstanding speakers including Dr. Percival Reeves, pastor of Sanctuary Church in Charlotte, N.C., Jerry Moore, head 

football coach, Appalachian State University, and Gil Hanke, General Secretary on the General Commission of United Methodist 

Men. It was also a privilege to have Jennifer Davis, Western North Carolina Conference Director of Discipleship Ministry. She 

served as the facilitator for the women who were guests. 

My prayer is that as men we continue recognize that is the local church that sets the stage for this ministry and that United 

Methodist Men continue to be intentional in reaching out to men beyond the confi nes of our brick and mortar structures and 

equip them to make disciples as we were commanded to be by Jesus Christ. 

Henry (Hank) Dozier, President 

I. UNITED METHODIST WOMEN 

The United Methodist Women of the Western North Carolina Conference experienced another very busy year in 2010 by 

being in ministry with women, children, and youth around the world. 

The local units again exceeded the $1 million dollar mark by giving $1,044,072.78. Giving to the Women’s Division totaled 

$927,676: $827,500 in undesignated mission giving funds and $100,176 in designated funds. The 2010 pledge to mission of 

$817,500 was met, and for the tenth consecutive year this conference led the nation in mission giving. Giving to projects within 

the conference totaled $14,941.61. 

Support of hands-on projects continues to increase. Over 2,000 UMCOR kits, valued at $75,961, were collected at 

conference events in 2010. 

All conference events were well attended. “Grounded in Love” was the theme for the Spiritual Growth Retreat, led by the Rev. 

Dawn Hand. Almost 1,000 United Methodist Women came together for a time “to know God.” The School of Christian Mission, 

with 313 participants, helped to “expand our concepts of mission” by studying For the Love of God: Epistles of John, The Beauty 

and Courage of Sudan, and Joy to the World: Mission in the Age of Global Christianity. “Faith. Hope. Love in Action” was the 

theme for the annual meeting in September, which was attended by over 600 United Methodist Women. Offi cer training was 

held in October, with 192 district and conference offi cers in attendance. 

The conference priority for 2010 continued to be public education. With the theme of “For Christ’s Sake, Turn the World 

Upside Down through Public Education…Make a Memory with a Child,” members of local units provided one-on-one time with 

children. 

In the area of membership, organization of fi ve new units during 2010 was celebrated. They were St. John’s in the Charlotte 

District, Roaring River in the North Wilkesboro District, Tanner’s Grove in the Marion District, and New Hope and Park Avenue in 

the Lake Norman District. 

Responding to social action issues is important to United Methodist Women. Members wrote hundreds of letters to 

legislators in 2010. United Methodist Men and United Methodist Women are collaborating on the issue of domestic violence. 

The scholarship program provided 14 scholarships totaling $30,500 to students seeking church-related careers. These 

recipients attended Pfeiffer University and High Point University. 

The Conference Gram and district newsletters are published four times each year to keep the local unit members informed 

of events and projects. The Conference UMW website and email are also available to share up-to-date information. And United 

Methodist Women is on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and UMWOnline. 

Members of the local units of United Methodist Women are the ones who make mission possible with their prayers, their 

giving, and the many ways in which they are in mission locally. With God’s help, the commitment to ministry through United 

Methodist Women will continue in 2010. 

Mildred Carter, President 

J. CONFERENCE COUNCIL ON YOUTH MINISTRIES 

This year has been an outstanding year for the youth in the Western NC Conference. Conference Council on Youth Ministries 

has headed in a different direction this year. They are reorganizing to a table structure to better network in the conference and 

to better align themselves with the focus on Leadership Development, Spiritual Formation, Social Justice and Mission, and 

Evangelism. This is a change that God will bless to help maintain focus and make the conference stronger. 

“Jesus Christ in the Sequel” was the theme this year for SpiritUs, the summer beach retreat at Fort Caswell in Oak Island. 

The theme was based on the concepts of movie sequels, Luke 24:29 and what comes next. Seventeen hundred youth packed 

30,000 meals for Stop Hunger Now; there were nearly 100 fi rst-time professions of faith, countless rededications, and many 

who answered a call to ministry. The band Elishah led the worship with their outstanding praise and worship. Following them, 

Mark Oestreicher delivered an amazing message, and Joe Castillo topped it off with his inspirational sand art. 

Choose to Share Christ took place at a different time and place this year, and through God’s guidance, it managed to take 

on a more intimate feel with around 75 youth attending the event. Also, Bishops’ Conformation Celebration was held at Pfeiffer 

University. BCC is an event to help the new confi rmands understand what it means to be a United Methodist. 

Kaleidoscope this year was again held at two different camps; Camp Tekoa in Hendersonville, and Camp Hanes outside of 

Winston Salem. “Dare You to Move,” based on the song by Switchfoot, was the theme, which challenged the youth to step out of 

their comfort zone and move for Christ. The speakers were John Isley and Jonathan Spangler. 

Youth Service Fund is money raised by youth for youth. This year $6900 was raised and distributed equally to everyone who 

asked. Through donations and offerings at the conference events, enough money was collected to help youth with mission trips, 

building projects, and different Christian camps.

248 


A group of 20-25 current and former CCYM members will be traveling to Nassau, June 26 to July 2 to minister and share the 

love of Jesus. This will be the fi rst international mission trip in which the CCYM has engaged. 

Through the support, love, and prayer that the conference provides, youth all over the conference have had the opportunity 

to change lives, hearts, and direction. Thanks to the Western NC Conference for everything, it is a true blessing to be in a 

conference that provides so much through God’s will. 

Molly Clay, President 

K. BOARD OF ORDAINED MINISTRY 

The Board of Ordained Ministry is a fi fty-three member board made up of elders, deacons, local pastors, and laity from the 

conference. It is the goal of the board to recruit clergy and equip the clergy to be the most effective clergy they can possibly 

be. The task of leading the church to follow Jesus, make disciples, and transform the world depends on it. Clergy are called to 

commit their lives to service and ministry in the name of and on behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

In partnership with the bishop and the district superintendents, the Board of Ordained Ministry initiated a series of 

clergy ethics training events which was discussed at last year’s annual conference. Deep gratitude is given to the Reverend 

Michelle Foster for her work in planning and leading these events. For most clergy, the material was a review and reminder. 

Unfortunately, there are still times where clergy ethics or actions may not be all that God intended. Clergy must continue to 

struggle with human frailty and keep disciplines in place that will hold them accountable. The statistics of laity and clergy who 

wrestle with issues such as pornography are disheartening. Clergy ethics include more than sexual ethics. Future events will 

also be addressing issues such as fi nancial ethics and fi scal accountability, and continued personal spiritual formation. It is 

heart breaking to witness a ministry in crisis when a clergyperson has violated a sacred trust. It is heart breaking to see the 

pain individuals and congregations experience in the midst of a crisis. Clergy need each other as spiritual family in a covenant 

relationship. Accountability is a gift and a means of grace. 

A partnership between the bishop, the district superintendents, and the Board of Ordained Ministry has also resulted in the 

development of a new evaluation process. Developing an evaluation tool that is comprehensive without being cumbersome 

is a challenge. The goal of this process is dialogue. Clergy and their Staff/Pastor-Parish Relations Committee or supervisor 

are encouraged to have honest dialogue; as well as, open conversations are encouraged between the clergy and district 

superintendents. Tools are only as effective as the use of them. The evaluation process should provide a tool for honest 

evaluation of the effectiveness of the clergy as well as the effectiveness of the church. Again, the emphasis is on the dialogue, 

not simply the completion of forms. This process will be evaluated annually to keep it current with the changing dynamics of 

ministry as well as its effectiveness in encouraging honest conversation. 

On behalf of the board, gratitude is expressed to the district committees on ordained ministry for their work with candidates 

during the critical beginning years of discerning a call. Appreciate is given to all who serve as mentors, RIOM leaders, teachers in 

Licensing School, and others who coach clergy and churches for greater effectiveness. 

The president of the board would like to take the opportunity to thank the executive committee and the full board for their 

commitment and work. This board dedicates many days and hours to this important ministry. He continues to be excited about 

the work of the board and the direction in which they are moving. May God be glorifi ed as clergy and laity serve in ministry together.

3. POLICY ON SEXUAL MISCONDUCT 

Approved by the 2001 Session of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference 

PURPOSE 

In the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, we believe that all who work and serve in 

the church are called to work in sacred trust with one another. The power of our covenant is founded on its vertical relationship 

with God and its horizontal relationship with each other. This covenant is not only the source which has sustained the Church for 

centuries, but also it calls us into holy accountability. In this policy, a United Methodist church professional is defi ned as a clergy 

person — ordained, commis sioned, or licensed — or a diaconal minister. Regrettably, some church professionals violate this 

covenant and rend the sacred trust given to them. Sexual misconduct is a grievous violation of this sacred trust. 

The Western North Carolina Annual Conference therefore puts forth this policy, not as a punitive measure, but to state clearly 

its position in regard to a church professional’s mis conduct of a sexual nature. Any breach of the sacred trust is hereby deemed 

unacceptable. We hope that this policy will guide laity and clergy to help prevent inappropriate behavior and provide a clear 

means to address complaints, if they should arise. 

THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION 

As a people of faith, we proclaim Jesus Christ as our living Lord. We believe that human sexu ality is God’s good gift. One abuse 

of this good gift is sexual misconduct. Through grace, Christ has shown us the way to establish healthy boundaries for loving 

and growing relationships that call us to mercy and justice. Such boun daries create relationships that affi rm the sacred worth 

of women, men, and children. Misconduct of a sexual nature is a clear offense against God, our neighbor, and ourselves. The 

church is compelled to take appropriate action to protect the people of God through the responsible use of church discipline. 

DEFINITIONS 

1. Sexual misconduct occurs within the professional relationship when a church professional engages in sexual contact or 

sexualized behavior with a congregational member, client, em ployee, student, or staff member (adult, youth, or child), 

whether or not there is consent from the individual. Beyond the pro fessional relationship, sexual misconduct includes any 

inap propriate sexual conduct or sexualized behavior on the part of a church professional. Sexual misconduct includes, but 

is not limited to, sexual harassment and any form of criminal sexual misconduct. 

2. Sexual harassment is defi ned by 161.I of the Social Principles in The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church 

(2008) as 

any unwanted sexual comment, advance or demand, either verbal or physical, that is reasonably perceived by the 

recipient as demeaning, intimidating, or coercive. Sexual harassment must be understood as an exploitation of a 

power relationship rather than as an exclusively sexual issue. Sexual harass ment includes, but is not limited to, the 

creation of a hostile or abusive working environment resulting from discrimination on the basis of gender. 

PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING AND RESPONDING 

TO COMPLAINTS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT 

1. Persons who are compelled for any reason to report a concern regarding alleged sexual mis conduct by a church 

professional may contact their pastor, another United Methodist pastor, a district superintendent, or the resident bishop. 

If the initial contact is to a pastor, she/he must pass the report to her/his district superintendent without delay. 

2. The provisions of 361 of The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (2008) shall determine and defi ne the 

appropriate process and response without excep tion. 

3. When an allegation of sexual misconduct by a church professional is subject to mandatory report ing due to state law (i.e., 

minors or adults incapable of reporting), this shall be reported to the resident bishop and to any appropriate authorities 

and/or agencies. 

4. The resident bishop may deploy a trained advocate in response to a complaint or incident of alleged sexual misconduct. 

Advocates will offer compassionate and non-judgmental support for any person victimized by sexual misconduct. 

5. In all cases of complaint involving alleged sexual misconduct, great care shall be exercised to explain to both an accused 

church professional and the complainant their rights to fair process as provided by The Book of Discipline of The United 

Methodist Church (2008). 

4. COVENANT PEER GROUPS 

The year 2010 saw the start-up of Covenant Peer Groups (CPG) in the Western NC Conference. The CPG Advisory Committee, 

chaired by Dr. Jody Seymour, decided to start slowly and grow the program organically. The committee also decided to make 

participation by clergy voluntary, and to allow each CPG to develop their own curriculum as long as the four purposes for CPGs 

were met. 

To date, 31 clergy have participated in a two-day training program to help them learn the insights and skills needed to 

facilitate a CPG. Twenty-three CPGs have been started. Approximately 167 clergy are participating in a group, and each district in

252 


the conference has at least one CPG. In response to an assessment questionnaire, the groups reported that the four purposes – 

enhancing ministry effectiveness, deepening spiritual practices, providing encouragement and support, and seeing self-defi ned 

accountability as a means of grace – were being met.

L. BOARD OF PENSION AND HEALTH BENEFITS 

Pension Program and Policies 

In 2012, the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts will send invoices monthly to the churches for clergy 

appointed in accordance with the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) adopted by The United Methodist Church. 

CRSP covers all US United Methodist Church clergy, including elders, local pastors and deacons, appointed within the annual 

conference. Invoices will be prepared using the following criteria: 

A. Pension Plan Compensation (PPC) is the total annual compensation reported by the charge conference for 

2012, included in the PPC is the housing component. The housing is either 25% of the aforementioned annual 

compensation, if a parsonage is provided, or the cash paid in lieu of a parsonage. 

B. Clergy Retirement Security Program – Core Defi ned Contribution Part (CRSP-DC) is 3% of PPC. 

C. Clergy Retirement Security Program – Core Defi ned Benefi t Part (CRSP-DB) is an actuarially determined normal cost 

provided by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts (GBOPHB). For 2012, the cost is $6,504 for each 

full time clergy. For those clergy appointed ¾, ½, and ¼ time, the cost is that percentage times $6,504. GBOPHB 

has provided that the conference’s actuarially determined normal cost contribution due Dec. 31, 2012 will be 

$5,793,351. 

D. Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) - primarily an insurance and disability program has provided in 2010 and 

prior years that premiums of 3% of PPC be paid as follows: For full time clergy, the premium is 3% of PPC to a 

maximum amount of 200% of Denominational Average Compensation (DAC). If a full time clergy’s PPC is less 

than 60% of DAC or if clergy serving less than full time, CPP does not apply. The GBOPHB has provided for a three 

year holiday from paying premiums for CPP. The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts has elected to 

continue invoicing the churches in the normal manner. The funds paid pursuant to those invoices will be deposited 

into an investment account at the United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina entitled “Clergy Pension 

Protection Fund.” 

E. At Dec. 31, 2011 and each Dec. 31 until 2017, the Conference may have to pay $1,050,412 to GBOPHB to cover 

an actuarial defi cit in the Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP), which provides retirement benefi ts for clergy serving 

from 1982 through 2006. This defi cit arises from market losses occurring in the pension program as a result 

of the economy. The above referenced “Clergy Pension Protection Fund” will be used to prepare for these cash 

contributions which could total $7,352,884 over the seven years. Because of improvement in the economy, a 

payment will not have to be made Dec. 31, 2012. 

The Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP) provides that the Past Service Annuity Rate (PSR) for service years prior to 

1982 will increase 2% per annum. The conference board is proposing that the 2012 PSR be set at $685.00 per service year, 

which represents the aforementioned 2% increase and is greater than 1% of Conference Average Compensation as provided by 

GBOPHB for Western North Carolina Annual Conference. 

PROPOSALS: PENSION PROGRAMS AND POLICIES 


The conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts proposes: 

1. That the basic cost of pastor’s pension be invoiced to churches in 2012 as pension responsibility to support the 

Clergy Retirement Security Program. 

2. That supplemental funds for the cost of the Clergy Retirement Security Program – Core Defi ned Benefi t Part (CRSP- 

DB) for clergy appointed on incapacity leave be included in the 2012 conference budget at Fund 507, named 

“Clergy Incapacity Benefi ts.” The 2012 budget request for incapacity leave clergy is $208,128. 

3. That the Past Service Annuity Rate for service years prior to 1982 be set at $685.00 per service year, effective Jan. 

1, 2012. 

4. That the following resolution be adopted for calendar year 2012: 

Resolution Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired and Disabled Clergypersons 

of the Western North Carolina Conference 

The Western North Carolina Conference (the “Conference”) adopts the following resolution relating to rental/housing allowances 

for retired or disabled clergypersons of the conference: 

Whereas, The religious denomination known as The United Methodist Church (the “Church”), of which this Conference is a part, 

has in the past functioned and continues to function through ministers of the gospel (within the meaning of Internal Revenue 

Code section 107) who were or are duly ordained, commissioned or licensed ministers of the Church (“Clergypersons”); and 

Whereas, The practice of the Church and of this Conference was and is to provide active Clergypersons with a parsonage or a 

rental/housing allowance as part of their gross compensation; and


Whereas, Pensions or other amounts paid to retired and disabled Clergypersons are considered to be deferred 

compensation and are paid to retired and disabled Clergypersons in consideration of previous active service; and 

Whereas, The Internal Revenue Service has recognized the Conference (or its predecessors) as the appropriate organization 

to designate a rental/housing allowance for retired and disabled Clergypersons who are or were members of the Conference; 

now, therefore, be it 

Resolved, That an amount equal to 100% of the pension or disability payments received from plans authorized under The 

Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church (the “Discipline”), which includes all such payments from the General Board 

of Pension and Health Benefi ts (“GBOPHB”), the Western North Carolina Conference Superannuate Endowment Fund, and The 

Duke Endowment during the year by each retired and disabled Clergyperson who is or was a member of the Conference, or its 

predecessors, be and hereby is designated as a rental/housing allowance for each such Clergyperson. 

Resolved, That the pension or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance applies will be any pension or 

disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from the GBOPHB 

and from a commercial annuity company that provides an annuity arising from benefi ts accrued under a GBOPHB plan, annuity, 

or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any service a Clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that a retired 

or disabled Clergyperson of this Conference rendered to any local church, annual conference of the Church, general agency of 

the Church, other institution of the Church, former denomination that is now a part of the Church, or any other employer that 

employed the Clergyperson to perform services related to the ministry of the Church, or its predecessors, and that elected 

to make contributions to, or accrue a benefi t under, such a plan, annuity, or fund, for such retired or disabled Clergyperson’s 

pension or disability as part of his or her gross compensation. 

NOTE: The rental/housing allowance that may be excluded from a Clergyperson’s gross income in any year for federal income tax 

purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code section 107(2) and regulations there under to the least of: (1) the amount of 

the rental/housing allowance designated by the Clergyperson’s employer or other appropriate body of the Church (such as this 

Conference in the foregoing resolution) for such year; (2) the amount actually expended by the Clergyperson to rent or provide a 

home in such year, or (3) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the 

cost of utilities in such year. 

Balances Due from Churches 

Beginning in 2007, direct clergy benefi t costs were invoiced to each local church. According to conference action, recorded 

in the 2004 journal, page 234, “Non-payment of direct clergy benefi t costs (pension and health benefi ts) result in a default 

recorded against the church (see 639.4, The Book of Discipline 2008). While individual clergy will not lose benefi ts, the church 

will incur a liability to the conference Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts. The default will be reported by the conference 

benefi ts offi cer to the district superintendents, and the church will be led to correct this situation. 

The following is the 2010 list of churches with balances as of April 8, 2011, resulting from non-payment of direct clergy 

benefi t costs:

Health Benefits Committee 

The Health Benefi ts Committee serves as a sub-committee of the Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts (BOPHB), with 

responsibility in three specifi c areas: health benefi ts, group term life insurance, and casualty insurance. 

The committee is composed of at least 12 members appointed by the board to quadrennial terms, as follows: three from 

BOPHB, one serving as chair of the committee, one being an offi cer of BOPHB, and one being the cabinet representative to 

BOPHB; one from the conference Board of Ordained Ministry; one from the conference Council on Finance and Administration; 

two retired clergy persons; and fi ve professional persons involved in the insurance industry. Typically, there are six lay members 

and six clergy members. The various agencies represented nominate their representatives to BOPHB for appointment.

254 


Group Life Insurance 

The General Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts, through the Comprehensive Protection Plan, provides a death and 

disability benefi t for eligible clergy, along with death benefi ts for members of clergy families. In addition to this coverage, the 

conference offers basic life insurance coverage of $10,000 for active clergy enrolled in the conference group health plan, 

with premiums for this coverage collected through the insurance apportionment. Clergy members may elect to increase their 

coverage by enrolling in additional coverage in the amounts of $25,000, $50,000, or $75,000. As an added benefi t, a clergy 

member may elect to enroll his/her spouse and dependent children. This additional coverage is available from a group policy 

secured by the committee for a quarterly premium to be collected by the insuring company. The continuation of this optional 

benefi t is dependent on normal participation of those eligible. Newly eligible clergy will receive information about this coverage 

from the Treasury Services Offi ce. To obtain coverage without evidence of insurability, enrollment must be made within 30 days 

of eligibility. 

Enrollment Deadlines for Health and Life Insurance 

Responsibility rests with the individual to make application in writing for the group health insurance and the group life 

insurance. In addition, any changes in dependents’ status must also be submitted in writing. The effective date of coverage for 

new applicants is July 1 following the session of annual conference. Applications must be made within 30 days of appointment 

at annual conference. Anyone seeking to apply following the 30-day grace period will have a 12-month waiting period for all preexisting 

conditions. 

Health Benefits Continuation Policy 

The conference benefi ts plan provides for group members and eligible benefi ciaries to continue coverage if they become 

ineligible for the plan. The policy is available from the plan administrator. 

Premium Collection Policy 

Payment of the medical/health insurance premiums for pastors is the responsibility of the local church (es). This premium 

payment is invoiced monthly. For churches with more than one pastor on the staff, the church is responsible for the payment of 

the insurance premium for each eligible pastor. It is the responsibility of the pastor to pay the premium costs for dependents. 

The Health Benefi ts Committee requires the conference treasurer to notify dependent accounts which are delinquent by sixty 

(60) days or more that their coverage is immediately subject to termination. If full payment is not made by thirty (30) days after 

the delinquency, coverage will be terminated.

(Petition 2, continued) 

PROPOSALS: HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM AND POLICIES 

The Health Benefits Committee proposes: 

1. That the Board of Pension and Health Benefi ts be authorized to secure a hospital/medical insurance contract for 2012 that 

will be advantageous in terms of coverage, premium rates, and administrative costs. 

2. That the hospital/medical insurance program be continued for all eligible persons working 30 hours or more per standard 

work week. 

3. That each local charge and eligible pastor be expected to participate in the conference program of hospital/medical 

insurance by contributing an amount equal to the pastor’s coverage premium for each eligible pastor appointed to that 

charge and that these premium payments be remitted to the conference Treasury Services Offi ce rather than to the pastor or 

other insurance carrier. The participant participation schedule should be used to calculate the eligible pastor’s portion. 

4. That premium cost information is mailed to local churches and pastors immediately after the 2012 contract has been 

negotiated. 

5. That a pastor may exclude himself/herself from coverage by signing a written waiver, releasing the conference and any local 

church from legal or moral responsibility for medical or accident claims. 

6. That, in the discussion of salaries and benefi ts for 2012 and all succeeding years, local church committees on staff-parish 

relations considers designating a portion of compensation for dependents’ health care coverage. 

7. That medical/hospital coverage be provided for persons terminated from the plan for not more than a 12-month period, with 

the premium costs to be paid by the person terminated. 

8. That continued endorsement be given to the optional life insurance program provided by a top-quality life insurance company 

as supplemental coverage for active clergy. 

9. That the following Retired Clergy Medical Plan, which became effective on Jan. 1, 2003, and was amended at the special 

session of the conference on Feb. 2, 2008, be continued: 

a. Benefi t Design: The basic benefi t design for all participants has benefi ts similar to Medi-gap Plan E, as approved by the 

Medicare Administration (complete benefi t description available from the conference Treasury Services Offi ce). This plan 

does not include prescription drugs.

256 


b. Funding Design: 

(1) Creation of the Retiree Security Supplement Fund, which shall be created Dec. 31, 2008. This Restricted Fund 

shall be vested with a minimum of $5,000,000. Subsequently, additional contributions to this Fund (corpus or 

principal) shall be made of all free reserve available at year-end. Free reserve is defi ned as the fund balance in 

excess of the Claims Reserve required by the Plan. The Claims Reserve is 25% of the prior year’s claims paid. 

(2) The purpose of the Retiree Security Supplement Fund is to secure retiree medical benefi t by contributing 4% 

of the fund balance (which consists of corpus or principal and earnings from dividends, interest and appreciation) 

each year to the Retired Clergy Medical Plan. The Fund’s contribution will reduce the Net Estimated Claims Cost of 

the Retired Clergy Medical Plan to the Base Estimated Claims Cost. 

(3) Net Estimated Claims Cost is defi ned as Total Estimated Claims Costs (including administration, stop-loss 

insurance and other operating expenses), less all contributions from other charitable trusts, foundations or 

individuals, such as The Cole Foundation. 

c. Premium Design: 

(1) Participants enrolled prior to Jan. 1, 2003 will contribute the Base Estimated Claims Cost. 

(2) Participants enrolled in the retiree plan on or after Jan. 1, 2003, will contribute based on “years enrolled in the 

Active Health Benefi ts Plan.” The contribution will be based on a percentage of the plan year’s Net Estimated Claims 

Cost, as follows: 

(a) 1-10 Years: 100% of the Net Estimated Claims Cost. 

(b) Beginning in the 11th year, the contribution will decline approximately 1% per year to an amount equal to 

the Base Estimated Claims Cost. 

All of the years prior to 2003 that a clergyperson has been appointed to a local church or conference position will be 

considered “years enrolled in the Active Health Benefi ts Plan” 

d. Participants must be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B to be eligible for the Retired Clergy Medical Plan. 

10. That each participant electing dependent coverage be required to remit premium payments in the method established by the 

Health Benefi ts Committee and that dependent coverage remain in effect only when premium payments are current. 

11. That each participating participant be required to remit premium payments in the method established by the Health Benefi ts 

Committee and approved by the 2009 Annual Conference and coverage remain in effect only when premium payments are 

current. The current participating participant method is a progressive scale percent of premium based on salary. 

12. That suffi cient funds for hospital/medical coverage be included in the appropriate 2012 apportioned funds to pay premiums 

for district superintendents and administrative, program, and support staff members of the conference headquarters. 

13. That supplemental funds for insurance for clergy on incapacity leave be included in the 2012 conference budget at Fund 

507, “Clergy Incapacity Benefi ts.” The 2012 budget request for incapacity leave clergy is $393,700.

trustees. Each month reports are received from the Treasury Services Offi ce, and the trustees seek to work with that offi ce for 

effi cient operation of the center. The fi nancial items concerning the Mem orial Center reported by the Council on Finance and 

Administration refl ect the recommendations of the trustees. 

The Episcopal Residence: 

The conference-owned Episcopal Residence is cared for through the Episcopal Residence Committee, constituted according 

to the provisions of the Discipline. Julia M. Hite, serves as the board of trustees rep resentative on this committee. 

Risk Management Sub-Committee: 

After meeting with representatives of the United Methodist Property and Casualty Trust (PACT) in 2006 and further study of the 

positive effects of risk management in lowering insurance costs, the board ap pointed a Risk Management Sub-Committee. The three 

members of the sub-committee are Roslyn Harris (chairperson), Sam Moore, and Dan Gobble, all of whom have insurance industry 

experience and/or high interest in the benefi ts of risk management.


The sub-committee understands certain issues regarding Worker’s Compensation coverage for volunteer and paid employees 

may exist for incorporated churches. The NC Workers Compensation law provides that “Every executive offi cer elected, appointed 

or empowered in accordance with the charter and bylaws of the corporation shall be considered as an employee of such 

corporation under this article.”(NC General Statute 97.2) The conference insurance advisor concurs that the law does require lay 

persons holding executive offi ces in local church corporations be included in the head count used to measure required coverage 

and eligibility under NC Workers Compensation. 

Along this line of thought, the N.C. Workers’ Compensation Law states: “Any such executive offi cer of a corporation may, 

notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, be exempt from the coverage of the corporation’s insurance contract by 

such corporation’s specifi cally excluding such executive offi ce in the contract of insurance, and the exclusion to remove such 

executive offi cer form the coverage shall continue for the period such contract of insurance is in effect, and during such period 

such executive offi cers thus exempted from the coverage of the insurance contract shall not be employees of such corporation 

under this article.” 

Therefore, the Risk Management Sub-Committee encourages each incorporated local church with NC Worker’s 

Compensation coverage to contact their carrier and insert an endorsement or provision in the policy that specifi cally excludes 

executive offi cers of the local church corporation. An alternative is to have each newly elected, appointed or empowered 

executive offi cer of a local church corporation sign a letter electing to be excluded from coverage under the NC Worker’s 

Compensation Law. The law requires each local church corporation to purchase worker’s compensation coverage but the 

corporation will not have claims liability for the excluded offi cers. 

Other Concerns of the Board: 

a. The board and its legal counsel as necessary review property matters involving local churches, dis tricts, and institutions of 

the conference. These matters are then reviewed by the full board at its meetings in February, June, and November. 

b. 2532.2 of The Book of Discipline (2008) is called to your attention, which describes specifi cally the responsibilities of the 

local church board of trustees for the risk management of church property and personnel. The Board of Trustees encourages 

the Council on Finance and Administration to adopt an administrative program that provides to local trustees, treasurers, 

fi nance chairs, and pastors the risk-management memos from the General Council on Finance and Administration. These 

plans will be very benefi cial to the local churches and assist in risk management and loss control. 

c. Also look at the Guidelines for Local Church Incorporation, with advisory letter. The board understands that the “Safe 

Sanctuaries” program encourages local-church incorporation; however, the Board expresses no position to encourage or 

discourage incorporation. The guidelines have been revised to include a step sheet, information on conveying church real 

property with the trust clause to the new corporation, conveying the church bank and securities accounts to the corporation, 

and obtaining new state and federal tax-identifi cation numbers for the new corporation. 

d. The conference Board of Trustees is often asked to take action on abandoned buildings and ceme teries. Much of the work 

involves determining conference responsibility for maintaining these proper ties and/or the legal authority to transfer or sell them, 

consistent with actions of the annual con ference. The board will continue to work with the cabinet in taking necessary action on 

abandoned properties, consistent with The Book of Discipline and North Carolina state laws. The board has au thorized support for 

a property facilitator to assist district offi ces with property management details. The property facilitator and management expenses 

are funded from property sales proceeds and the balance remaining split between the district and conference Congregational 

Development, 75% and 25%, respectively. Further, the board has created an Urban Ministry policy in accordance with the 2008 

Book of Discipline [2548, 212] which established a formal requirement for proceeds from sales of closed urban church 

property be spent in accordance with the conference Urban Ministry Strategic Plan. The Connectional Table has established 

the Urban Ministry Strategic Plan and created the guidelines and monitors for use of these funds according to the plan. 

e. The cabinet and the conference Board of Trustees have worked together on a policy providing for trustee review and approval of 

disposition of all church properties that are discontinued or abandoned before action is taken by the annual conference. 

f. Please note 2548.4 of The Book of Discipline, which specifi es that all deeds, records, and other offi cial and legal papers of an 

abandoned or otherwise discontinued church shall be deposited for per manent safekeeping with the Commission on Archives 

and History of the annual conference. The Board of Trustees has entered into a cooperative arrangement with the Commission on 

Archives and History which will make the conference archives offi ce in Charlotte a much more effective central re pository for such 

information. The Conference Board of Trustees encourages all district boards of trustees, cabinet members, and oth ers to keep the 

conference archives offi ce informed about such properties and to call the archives offi ce when information is needed. The property 

project to index all discontinued, abandoned, and ac tive property in the conference has been completed, and it is anticipated that 

these fi les will be of great benefi t to the conference. 

g. The board has prepared a Property Matters binder and distributed to district offi ces a step sheet, based on The Book of Discipline 

and the 2001 Legal Manual of the General Council on Finance and Administration, to be used by all parties in the event of the 

discontinuation or abandonment of local church property. 

h. The Risk Management Sub-Committee of the WNCC Board of Trustees strongly advises all churches to review the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for the U.S. Department of Transportation Number to take appropriate action to comply. 

Failure to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for U.S. Department of Transportation Regulations, 

pertaining to all church vans, trucks and buses, could result in major fi nes.

N. COMMITTEE ON THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE MEETING 

The Committee on the Annual Conference Meeting welcomes the members of the 2011 conference to this gathering. The 

theme of this year’s Annual Conference meeting will be “Inspire the Living Faith.” The primary texts will come from the Book of 

Acts and we will culminate the conference session by celebrating Pentecost on Sunday in worship. The conference will continue 

to remember the mission to “Follow Jesus, Make Disciples, Transform the World.” The Power of Three goals help discern 

how a priority on outreach and mission are being met. The conference is moving forward in its vision to have over 1000 vital 

congregations. 

Annual conference will be a time of worship, study, holy conferencing, caring for the business of the annual conference, and 

electing delegates to General and Jurisdictional Conference at this year’s session. The committee welcome as preachers: Bishop 

Gregory V. Palmer, Bishop of the Illinois Area; The Rev. Ashley Crowder Stanley, pastor of Wesley Memorial United Methodist 

Church in the High Point District; The Rev. Susan Pendleton Jones, Director of Field Education at Duke Divinity School; and, The 

Rev. L. Shane Stanford, pastor of Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church in Gulf Breeze, Florida. In addition, Bishop Goodpaster 

will lead a daily Bible study and preach the Sunday closing worship. Gregg Drabek, a member at First United Methodist Church, 

Rutherfordton, in the Marion District, will give the Laity Address. 

Please print the sections of the Program and Reports Book that you will need and bring them with you to annual conference. 

The committee continues to encourage good stewardship of resources and the environment. The annual supplement to this 

book will be posted online in advance of conference but will be distributed to delegates upon arrival in a printed version. It will 

include vital information for making the time together effective. 

Many persons work diligently to ensure that annual conference is a good experience for everyone. Kevin Turner from 

Davidson UMC and Steve Cooper from Groce UMC in Asheville will be leading the music in worship. The worship committee 

works diligently to plan inspirational and celebratory worship. To all of these, along with the speakers, secretarial staff, treasury 

services staff, communications team, ushers, tellers, and registration volunteers, sincere gratitude is expressed. 

The most signifi cant logistical change for annual conference this year is the location of registration. Members of the annual 

conference should visit the Terrace Auditorium, on the 3 rd fl oor of the Terrace Hotel, to “check-in” and get a name badge. Name 

badges will be required for admittance into the plenary sessions and to vote. Only members will be allowed in Stuart Auditorium 

during the conference business sessions to ensure there is enough seating for all who are expected to attend. If needed, there 

will be a satellite location for members in the Harrell Center auditorium on the lower level. There will be interactive participation 

at that location as needed. 

Guests are invited and encouraged to view the proceedings of the annual conference from the Susan Todd Lounge and the 

Edgewater Bistro in the Harrell Center; from the lobbies of both Lambuth and Terrace Hotels; and as available, in the Harrell 

auditorium. Guests may participate in the worship services in the Stuart Auditorium. 

Lake Junaluska continues to work with the conference, to allow the annual meeting to run smoothly and be a pleasant 

experience for all concerned. There will be four food vendors at lunchtime and some for breakfast and dinner, in addition to 

the hotel cafeterias, with options for food. They will be located between the Harrell Center and Stuart Auditorium. The restroom 

trailer will return. The conference is providing for two buses from Young’s Transportation, in addition to the Lake Junaluska 

trolley and tram, to shuttle persons up and down the lake. There is plenty of parking at Lake Junaluska. Parking areas and 

shuttle stops are marked on the map included in the Program and Reports Book. Persons are encouraged to “park and ride” 

from these areas. 

Please visit the ministry displays that are located in the lobbies on the second and third fl oors of the Terrace Hotel. There are 

many sources of information available at annual conference about the ministries taking place in WNCC. Be sure to check them 

all out. 

Since 2002, child care services have been provided during annual conference. Registration forms are available on the 

conference website, www.wnccumc.org. Search “annual conference.” 

Order forms for the 2011 WNCC Journal will be available in the registration area and lobby of Stuart Auditorium. You may 

also download an order form from the conference website, www.wnccumc.org. There will be the opportunity to order a Journal 

online this year and pay for it with a credit card. The deadline for ordering is July 15. We are grateful to United Printing Company 

of Charlotte for serving as our publisher of the 2010 materials. 

May this year’s annual conference be a meaningful experience for all. 

Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster, Chairperson 

Kimberly T. Ingram, Secretary

year. 

Mark Richard Smith, Chairperson 

P. COMMISSION ON ARCHIVES AND HISTORY 

As this report is being written, the second revised edition of the book To Be Faithful to Our Heritage is at the publisher, 

with the goal of having this volume available for sale later this summer. Dr. Linda Addo, our Conference Historian, has worked 

diligently in discovering and recording additional information regarding the story of African American United Methodists in 

North Carolina, and we are deeply indebted to her for her diligence and faithfulness to this project. The fi rst edition of this work, 

originally published in 1980, has since been the cornerstone for any and all research for African American United Methodist 

church history in North Carolina. The additional information which is presented in this second edition will only add to the value 

of the book for further research in this fi eld. Further information regarding this publication was available at the commission’s 

display in the lobby of the Terrace Hotel during annual conference. To order the book, please contact the conference archives. 

As always, we rejoice with the churches within our conference who are celebrating signifi cant anniversaries this year, and 

are available to aid every congregation in researching, and celebrating what God has done in their lives. A special display 

highlighting the life and ministry of those congregations celebrating signifi cant anniversaries this year was at the commission’s 

display in the Terrace Hotel lobby. These congregations were also recognized in a video presentation that was shown between 

sessions of annual conference. The Western NC Conference Historical Society meeting on Saturday, June 11 also celebrated 

the life and ministry of these congregations. We have two congregations that are celebrating their bicentennial in 2011: 

Gastonia: Bethesda and Hopewell (Catawba County). The two churches celebrating their sesquicentennial this year are Cold 

Springs (Cabarrus County) and Zoar (Mecklenburg County). The churches celebrating their centennial in 2011 are Greensboro: 

Bessemer, Statesville: Christ Boulevard, Reidsville: First, Midway (Iredell County), Mineral Springs (Union County), Lincolnton: 

Rhyne Heights, Stallings, and Wingate. We also congratulate Friendship (Cabarrus County) and St. James (Guilford County) who 

observed their centennial in 2010. We rejoice over what God has done and is doing in the life of each congregation, and pray for 

God’s continued blessings upon each one during this time of celebration. 

The Commission on Archives and History is the agency within the annual conference which serves as the repository of the 

signifi cant documents of the conference and as the collective memory of what we are doing in ministry. Ours is truly a “Ministry 

of Memory” as we record, collect, preserve, and disseminate the rich history and heritage which are ours as United Methodists 

here in western North Carolina. May God help us to continue to celebrate the many wonderful ways in which he is calling us to 

share his love in the world today! 

James L. Pyatt, Chairperson 

WESTERN NC CONFERENCE HISTORICAL SOCIETY 

The WNCC United Methodist Historical Society was formed to aid local church historians in their tasks and to act as an 

auxiliary to the WNCC Commission on Archives and History. It seeks to develop interest in United Methodist history and promote 

skills for researching, preserving, and recording that history among the laity and clergy within the conference. 

Over the past year the society has continued to support work leading to the publication of a new edition of the book To Be 

Faithful to Our Heritage by Dr. Nancy Addo. The society is facilitating the acceptance of orders for the book and the handling of 

funds to cover publication expenses. 

The society welcomes inquiries and expressions of interest from anyone in the conference who wishes to become a part of 

the organization or be involved in its work. 

Russ Ford, President 

Q. CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS’ FELLOWSHIP 

Recognizing the importance of Christian education in faith formation, nurturing, and discipleship, the Christian Educators’ 

Fellowship (CEF) exists to promote and strengthen Christian education in local churches, districts, and the annual conference. In 

addition, CEF seeks to be supportive to Christian educators, both on professional and personal levels. 

The National CEF Conference was held in Louisville, Kentucky in October 2010. The Western North Carolina Conference 

was well represented, and connected with the Pfeiffer Chapter and friends for dinner during the conference with over 40 in 

attendance.

260 


The WNCC CEF chapter is committed to the growth of all serving in Christian Education ministries. The annual retreat this 

year hosted Donna Gaither from the General Board of Discipleship, offered not only a free workshop for local church leaders and 

volunteers, but also a two-day event for professionals to focus on Charting the Course for Disciple Formation. Plans are being 

made for a summer gathering as well as a mission focus event in the fall. CEF is also in partnership with Pfeiffer University’s 

Pfeiffer Responds series in an effort to offer topical issues that face churches and all leaders. 

Reorganization is beginning for the Education Seminars designed for those new to the Christian Education fi eld who fi nd 

themselves employed by their local church. Restructuring to incorporate new trends and technologies will be vital to this training 

path. 

All individuals who participate in any form of Christian Education are encouraged to join the local CEF and enjoy the 

additional benefi ts of our connections within CEF and the church. Members receive discounted registration to CEF events, biannual 

newsletters, frequent e-news updates, and scholarship opportunities for seminars and conferences. CEF also provides a 

support system of and for those who have unique experiences in Christian Education ministries. 

Learn more about the chapter and share it offerings with others in Christian Education and disciple formation at http://www.

R. COMMISSION ON COMMUNICATION 

The Commission on Communications is the basic support group for communication in the Western North Carolina 

Conference and its mission is to support and interpret all ministry areas of the Conference by presenting and telling their stories. 

The Commission is focused on three primary objectives (as a part of the ‘Power of 3 for WNCC’) for the 2009-2012 

quadrennium to insure the highest level of communication and the utmost fi nancial responsibility and stewardship. 

Objective 1: Audit of Communications 

Objective 2: 

Objective 3: 

Resourcing for Communications 

Assist in fulfi lling the denominational mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ 

for the transformation of the world. 

Objective 1: 

United Methodist Communications, in conjunction with an independent media consultant, completed a thorough audit of 

communications within the Western North Carolina Conference. The fi ndings are as follows: 

Strengths 

Intuitive leadership 

Even as the audit was underway, conference leadership was already anticipating outcomes regarding what would be 

most helpful at the local church level with changes being made such as the director becoming full-time and consolidation of 

databases. 

Effective communication tools 

The primary communication tool, e-News, is comprehensive, timely, widely read and appreciated among those who are 

familiar with it. The Conference website, also, is generally praised for its usefulness, with some 65% of survey respondents 

reporting that they visit the site at least once a month. Quite often, clergy and laity alike acknowledged that whatever 

information they need is likely available if they would only seek it out. 

Extensive use of the internet 

The internet is widely used among United Methodists in the Western North Carolina Conference with 93% of survey 

respondents saying they use it frequently. Over 80% of those over 65 reported that they are regular users. The pervasive nature 

of the internet and its ability to convey large amounts of information at little cost makes it an essential element in the future of 

Conference communications. 

Dedicated, impassioned clergy and laity 

Clergy interviewed and surveyed show a tremendous dedication and spirit for their work. Likewise, laity who participated in 

the audit process were clear about the mission to create disciples of Jesus Christ and expressed eagerness to be about that work. 

Challenges 

Demand for high touch in a high-tech world 

While acknowledging the vast array of electronic and online tools as communication vehicles, many implored the Conference 

not to diminish the importance of human touch in creating two-way communication. 

Limited understanding of the value of the connection 

Clergy and laity both have varying degrees of understanding about the value that the United Methodist connectional system 

brings to the local church. 

Uneven budgetary resources for communication 

Consistency in the quality of communication and a strong sense of brand identity is important. When some Conference 

initiatives get more resources than others to deliver their messages, it sends a signal that some functions are more important 

than others. Some interviewed in the audit process expressed that they felt there was competition, not cooperation in terms of 

communication priorities and resources.


Diversity of technological capabilities at the local church level 

WNCC churches and individuals embody a wide diversity in their understanding of, access to, and degree of comfort with 

various communication technologies. While the means of electronic communication continue to evolve, making a staggering 

amount of information available instantly and relatively inexpensively, many local churches have no obvious access to these 

conduits. However, an opportunity exists to make more use of some basic electronic methodologies than may have been 

expected. Even when the church building, itself, has few resources, individual members often are better-connected than 

previously understood. 

Geography 

Those in the western-most extent of the Conference, west of Waynesville, expressed the most pronounced sense of disconnection. 

Recommendations 

1. Communication Processes and Structures 

The audit process identifi ed a number of areas that could be addressed in order to bring more effi ciency and effectiveness to 


Director Oversight of All Communication 

The workload of the Director of Communication makes it unrealistic for the director to be personally involved with everything 

that is produced. However, when various Conference-wide groups create and distribute their own materials without involving the 

communication staff, there can be inconsistencies in quality. 

While Conference-related groups may still produce their own materials, the communication offi ce should act as the 

clearinghouse for all such Conference-wide efforts. This level of oversight is intended to assure a consistent quality of 

Conference communications in terms of its content, production value, and consistency with the look and feel of other 


Senior Staff Agreement on Key Messages 

The senior staff at the Conference level should meet with some regularity (at least once per quarter) for updates on what is 

going on from a communication standpoint and what messages are most important to be disseminating to wider audiences. 

Communication Training for District Superintendents 

Pastors interviewed and surveyed in the audit process often commented that they are inundated by email to the point 

that they cannot tell what is important and what is not. Much of their email comes from the district offi ces. DS’s should take 

responsibility for some editorial control over what they forward and help their pastors focus on those points that are most 

important. 

Communication Training for Local Churches 

A priority function of Conference communication efforts should be training for local churches in a variety of subjects such as 

website function and design, newsletters, social media, and local public relations. 

While Conference communication staff, themselves, have limited time for such training sessions, they may help identify 

(with the help of others) those who have skills in such areas and who would consider it part of their gift of service to share their 

knowledge with churches at district and sub-district levels. 

Network of Communication Conduits 

Lay members to Annual Conference should be a ready-made network of connection between the Conference offi ce and 

local churches on a year-round basis. However, this group is under-utilized. Training sessions with these people at the district or 

sub-district level could provide them with valuable information about their role within the Conference structure as well as set up 

expectations about acting as a regular communication conduit between their congregation and the Conference. 

Communication Commission 

The Conference Communication Commission has served a valuable advisory role for the Director of Communication. 

Considering the recent changes in Conference priorities and staffi ng directed by the bishop, it may be appropriate to revisit 

the role and make-up of the Communication Commission with an eye toward the members being conduits of communication 

resources. 

African-American Communications 

A close examination of survey results showed that African-Americans who responded feel less informed in the Conference 

than others. The Conference should be made aware of the possibility that African-Americans as a group feel under-informed and 

should seek additional input on ways to address the problem. 

2. Communication Content, Messaging 

The audit found that Conference audiences want three primary types of information, in this order: 

• What events are coming up throughout the Conference 

• What resources are available for local churches 

• What other churches are doing that is successful 

Apportionments, Conference Budget 

A number of those interviewed asked for more information on how to interpret the Conference budget to those at the local 

church level. Materials created should show specifi c, tangible evidence of how apportionment dollars change lives and 

make a difference in the world.

262 


Support for Local Churches 

Overall, the messages relayed and the content created by the Conference should refl ect the idea that the Conference exists 

to support the work of the local church. 

3. Communication Delivery Methods 

The survey shows that, overall, the Conference e-News is the favorite way to receive information, followed closely by direct 

emails about topics of interest to members and then visiting the Conference website. Those over 65 would prefer to see 

Conference information in their local church newsletter, but close behind was reading the e-News and visiting the Conference 

website. Those who took the survey via hard-copy rather than the electronic version would prefer to get Conference 

information in their local church newsletter. 

e-News 

The Conference e-News is read by over 80% of survey respondents, with 66% saying they read “much of it” or “thoroughly.” It 

was generally credited in interviews and the survey alike as being a comprehensive, timely compilation of important information. 

Web Site 

The Western North Carolina Annual Conference website already includes useful, timely information. A few specifi c areas for 

additional attention: 

• The home page currently includes entire stories about events within the Conference. It may be easier for visitors to 

get a quick glimpse of important events and initiatives if the stories were summarized with a headline, a photo, and 

a line or two of description, and then a link to the full story. 

○ 

○ 

The resource section should be continually expanded and arranged in categories to make them easier to peruse. 

District websites are not consistent in their look and functionality. The Conference should agree on a 

template for the sites’ look and structure and work toward making them refl ect a common connection. 

E-pistle 

The bishop’s E-pistle is well-received by most audiences who are aware of it. The survey showed that far more clergy read the 

E-pistle than laity. 

Bulletin Insert 

A means of developing a much greater sense of connection between the Conference and laity would be to return to the idea 

of a regular insert that may be printed at the local church level and included with the worship bulletin. 

Quarterly Compilation of Success Stories 

Local churches want to hear about what is working in other places, partly to learn from others’ successes and partly to 

celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of those churches are called to serve. While these success stories may be part 

of the information delivered regularly through e-News, bulletin inserts, and on the website, a quarterly compilation of such stories 

could serve a variety of functions. The piece should be produced electronically to save costs, but should be laid out in such a way 

that a printer-friendly version of it could be run off at the local church level and made available for members to pick up. 

Social Media 

Some younger pastors report that they use Facebook more than email. The Conference should embrace various forms of 

social media. 

Other information about the audit: 

The audit, which was conducted with partnership and funding from United Methodist Communications (UMCom), will 

determine the proper strategies and types of communication for any/all available communication vehicles (print, visual, webbased, 

etc.). This audit was accomplished at no increased budget cost to the conference. The audit’s fi ndings have included 

specifi c recommendations for the conference to increase its communications effectiveness, strengthen its image, and assist 

in achieving its mission statement. Further, the fi ndings become the foundation on which future communications planning can 

be more effective for the conference at all levels. The audit’s fi ndings provide the basis for the preparation of a comprehensive 

communications/marketing/public relations plan. Many of the recommendations are already in place or are in process of 

implementation. The ultimate purpose of this audit is to help the conference (conference offi ce, staff, local districts, and 

churches) effectively tell the good news story and transform people’s lives. 

Objective 2: 

‘Resourcing for communications.’ During the past year communications trainers have been provided for district and local 

church workshops across the conference, focusing primarily on ‘Rethink Church.’ An effort is being made to update and expand 

the training to impact more local churches with resources they can easily utilize in fulfi lling their mission. Trainers are available 

to come to your church or district, contact the Communications Offi ce for more information. Communications resources 

are regularly disseminated to local churches through WNCC e-news. Links to valuable resources are kept updated in the 

Communications section of the website (wnccumc.org). 

Objective 3: 

Assist in fulfi lling the denominational mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The 

major effort in 2010 was IMPACT Community Day on June 5. More than 14,000 volunteers across the conference touched the


lives of a minimum of 650,000 people. The main thrust of this effort was to connect with seekers and the unchurched in a 

meaningful way living out Wesleyan theology of social action in local communities. Beyond that volunteers became acquainted 

with others outside their regular faith communities initiating relationships that would hopefully continue in the future. 

IMPACT Community is in full motion for 2011 and is set for Saturday, Oct. 1. For more information about IMPACT Community 

Day in your district, please consult your district offi ce. 

In addition to these three objectives for the quadrennial, the conference website www.wnccumc.org is continually being 

updated and improved. 

The Offi ce of Communications is actively engaging in and continuing the conversation of www.facebook.com/wnccumc and 

www.twitter.com/wnccumc, to connect with each member locally. 

Lastly, The Commission on Communications has been resourced for more than 5 years by the Rev. Mark Barden as the 

director of communications for the Western North Carolina and the commission celebrates the work that Mark has helped 

carryout in connecting with the Conference. Mark has long felt a calling to shepherd God’s children at the local church level 

and will be appointed at this session of the Annual Conference. The team welcomes Skyler Nimmons as the new conference 

communications specialist to continue the work in deepening the connection as aspects of new media are explored. 

Thank you for your support of the Commission on Communications and your time in reading this report.

S. CONFERENCE STAFF RELATIONS COMMITTEE 

The Conference Staff Relations Committee (CSRC) of the Western North Carolina Conference is charged with the responsibility 

of functioning in a fashion similar to the Staff/Parish Relations Committee of a local United Methodist Church and is to: 

1. To act as the Human Resources arm of the Western North Carolina Conference 

2. To use, and regularly update, the “Personnel Policy Handbook.”

Annual Conference. 

10. To recognize special accomplishments and milestones in the career of an employee such as retirement, job 

change, or signifi cant employment anniversary. 

11. To coordinate and sponsor events to show appreciation to the employees. 

12. To report to the annual conference on its actions during the preceding Conference Year. 

The past year has presented many unique challenges and opportunities for the CSRC members as they have prayerfully 

sought ways to help the conference staff to function at an optimal level while at the same time remaining fi scally responsible. 

A major step the CSRC took in this direction was to eliminate the term “Cabinet Level Appointment.” Historically, the salaries 

of certain conference staff positions were directly relational to the salaries that were approved for the district superintendents. 

It is now the policy of the CSRC to pay all conference staff positions at a level that is commensurate to the market value for 

similar job responsibilities. Each conference staff employee will be hired, evaluated annually, and compensated based on their 

individual position and job performance. 

It is with sincere appreciation that the conference bids farewell to both treasurer Bill Wyman, and communications director 

Mark Barden. Both of these men have served the WNCC with honor and distinction with each having been recognized by the 

greater church for their outstanding accomplishments and service. 

The CSRC is pleased to announce that Skyler Nimmons has been hired to assume the responsibilities of the conference’s 

communications specialist. The members of the CSRC feel that Skyler will be a marvelous addition to the conference staff as he 

brings with him cutting edge skills and boundless energy. 

The CSRC recognizes how uniquely special are those persons who are members of our conference staff. The WNCC can be 

proud of the commitment and hard work of these dedicated people who have continually been asked to take on more and more 

responsibilities in a constantly changing structural environment. For this reason we are recommending modest raises for staff 

members who are not new to the conference offi ce. A summary of the increases can be found in the proposed conference budget. 

It has only been within the last four years that CSRC has been responsible for setting the salaries of the conference’s 

district superintendents. Within the parameters of that timeframe the superintendents have virtually received no increase in 

salary. Three years ago the superintendents agreed to take a voluntary cut in salary and since that time the members of the 

Annual Conference have voted down any salary increase recommended by the CSRC for the superintendents. While the CSRC 

recognizes the budgetary constraints under which all of the branches of the conference must operate, the committee believes 

that it is imperative that the superintendents receive at least a cost of living raise this year. The outline of this increase can 

be found in the proposed conference budget. The CSRC encourages all local congregations to be responsible in paying their 

apportionments to the District Superintendents Fund. Complete payment toward this fund is the only way to insure that a defi cit

264 


is not incurred in the conference budget. 

In the year ahead the CSRC will continue to support the work of our conference staff members as well as the district 

superintendents and give them every opportunity available to serve the people of the WNCC in the most effi cient way possible. 

These people truly are the glue that holds our conference together thus allowing the rest of us to fulfi ll our commitment to serve 

Christ by doing all the good that we can.

T. COMMITTEE ON THE EPISCOPACY 

“Finding Balance” 

For the purposes of this report, the good news is that the Committee on Episcopacy has formally and respectfully requested 

that the Southeastern Jurisdiction consider leaving Bishop Larry Goodpaster here with the Western North Carolina conference. 

The bad news is that the bishop is so busy, we’re going to have to make a concerted effort to avoid letting him “burn out” while 

he’s here. 

With only fi ve years left before retirement. Bishop Goodpaster is quick to tell you he is called to make those years count. 

As part of his effort to “do all the good he can,” the bishop initiated and participated in a 360 process designed to get 

feedback from those with whom he works, both on a professional and volunteer basis. Multiple people, including members 

of the conference Committee on Episcopacy, completed an online survey. The results were reviewed by a job coach, who then 

worked with the bishop to identify strengths, overused strengths and opportunities. 

The process, funded by a Duke grant, was provided to new bishops and those who moved in 2008. The book The Versatile 

Leader served as the text for this initiative. 

Based on the fi ndings of the 360 process, Bishop Goodpaster has given up his Episcopal responsibility for Southeast Asia. 

This was diffi cult for him, but knew he could not continue in this capacity and fulfi ll all his other responsibilities. He also resigned 

from a national committee that annually took him away from two to three weeks. 

As president of the Council of Bishops, as well as board chairperson of Lake Junaluska Assembly, the demands on his time 

are many. He has turned down speaking engagements when he realized he would have neither time nor energy to prepare 

adequately. This committee affi rms that there are times when that “no” is as holy as a “yes.” 

Yet, in his pursuit of excellence, the bishop has made time for accountability sessions with a range of people in his life. The 

sessions are used as “check ins,” when folks can ask how he is doing in meeting the personal and professional goals he has set 

and to fi nd out how it is with his soul. 

This process of accountability and evaluation will continue this summer and fall, as members of this committee, the cabinet, 

conference staff, and key conference committee chairpersons with whom the bishop has regular contact, will be asked to 

complete an online survey from the Southeastern Jurisdiction Committee on Episcopacy. In preparation for the appointment 

of bishops, they initiate an evaluation process in each conference. Betty Jo Hardy and Reverend Andy Langford represent the 

Western NC conference on that committee. 

I also would like to publicly thank the members of this committee who take time from their busy lives to support the bishop 

and uphold the responsibilities of this group. We invite you to join us in prayer on Friday mornings, as we continue to wrap 

Bishop Goodpaster, his family, and the work of Christ in this conference in prayer.

U. EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE COMMITTEE 

The Episcopal Residence Committee is pleased to report that Bishop and Mrs. Larry Goodpaster have settled into the 

residence and have been comfortably using and enjoying the residence at 2506 Windsor Crescent Court in Charlotte. The 

residence endowment reserve now stands at $84,205.87 (as of 12.31.2010). For 2012, the committee is requesting that the 

amount be $10,000. The committee, in consultation with Bishop and Mrs. Goodpaster, will continue to monitor expenses and 

request funding as is appropriate and necessary.

V. COMMISSION ON EQUITABLE COMPENSATION (CEC) 

Policies and Guidelines for Administering the Equitable Compensation Fund 

(Calendar Year 2012) 

1. Policies Pertaining to the Commission on Equitable Compensation: 

342 and 625 of the 2008 Book of Discipline direct the Commission on Equitable Com pensation (CEC) to recommend 

a minimum level of pastoral compensation for clergy serving as local church pastors under episcopal appointment and to 

administer the Equitable Compensation Fund (ECF) as a source of funding of last resort for pastors-in-charge in order to 

maintain a living, equitable level of compensation for these itinerant ministers. 

a. Executive Committee: 

During each quadrennium, at its organizational meeting, the CEC shall elect an executive committee consisting of a


chairperson, a vice-chairperson, a secretary, and ad ditional members from the full commission as needed, so that 

the executive committee consists of an equal number of clergy and lay persons. The assistant to the bishop and a 

cabinet representa tive will serve as ex-offi cio members of the executive committee. 

b. Defi nition of Compensation: 

As used by the CEC, the term “compensation” includes the annual amount designated as cash salary for service 

rendered, additional insurance premiums over and above the conference-approved program of individual medical 

insurance for clergy, accountable professional expenses, household expenses paid by the local charge, and other 

fringe benefi ts. Compensation does not include housing allowance in lieu of parsonage to the extent of actual 

housing expenses, fair market value of supplied parsonages, reimbursement for parish-related travel expenses 

paid by the local charge to the extent of actual travel expenses or use of an auto mobile for parish travel purposes, 

funds provided for continuing education to the extent they are used for that purpose, bona fi de gifts or honoraria 

for special services, allowances for moving ex penses paid by the annual conference or local church, or individual 

medical insurance premiums in the amount of the conference-approved program of insurance for clergy. 

2. Types of Grants 

Two categories of support are available from the ECF: emergency sustentation grants and regular grants. 

a. Emergency sustentation grants are available under the provisions of 626, which states that each church or 

charge has an obligation to pay in full compensation, as approved by the charge confer ence, to its pastor(s). If 

it becomes apparent that a church or charge will be unable to so provide the compensation approved by the 

charge conference, the church or charge shall immediately notify the district superintendent and may request 

consideration for a short-term emergency grant from the Eq uitable Compensation Fund (cf. also 625). 

b. Regular grants are available for those churches or charges which, at their annual charge confer ences, determine 

that they will be unable to provide compensation at the minimum level set by our annual conference. In cooperation 

with the bishop and cabinet, the CEC offers grants, on a declining schedule, totaling no more than 30% of the 

appropriate minimum pastoral compensation for a period of three or fewer years. In the fi rst year, a church or 

charge may receive up to 100% of the maximum available grant; in the second year, up to 70%; in the third 

year, up to 40%. During this period, the church or charge must adopt and follow a plan, approved by the district 

superintendent that elimi nates the need for this assistance. After the third year, a church or charge will not 

automatically be eligible for a regular grant. 

Representatives of the CEC shall consult with the district superintendents about any clergyperson or church that 

has received equitable-compensation grants for fi ve consecutive years. 

3. Defi nitions and Classifi cations of Pastors 

a. Full-Time Pastors: Subject to these policies and guidelines, pastors appointed to full-time service under 338.1 or 

318.1 shall have a claim upon the ECF and shall not receive less than the min imum compensation specifi ed in 

the current schedule ( 342). 

b. Pastors Serving Less Than Full-Time: Subject to these policies and guidelines, elders and probationary (provisional) 

members serving as pastors appointed to less than full-time service under the provisions of 338.2 shall 

have a claim upon the ECF in one-quarter-time increments of either ¾, ½, or ¼ time as negotiated by the 

district superintendent at the time of the appointment, receiving not less than this percentage of the minimum 

compensation specifi ed in the current schedule. 

c. Pastors Attending School: Subject to these policies and guidelines, a pastor appointed to a church or charge who 

is enrolled in good standing in a college or seminary for a minimum of nine hours per semester or equivalent in 

fulfi llment of the requirements for conference affi liation and who is not otherwise gainfully employed shall have 

a claim upon the ECF in an amount based upon the one-quarter-time increments as negotiated by the district 

superintendent at the time of the ap pointment, which shall not exceed ¾ time. In determining the compensation 

for a pastor attending school, grants received for educational expenses shall not be considered as part of 

compensation. Pastors who discontinue or complete their studies and intend to be considered as serving full-time 

shall be compensated at that level only after certifi cation by the CEC. 

d. Part-Time Local Pastors and Retired Supply Pastors: Since the ECF is designed to support those in full-time services 

as pastors of our local churches, those charges utilizing part-time local pastors or retired supply pastors shall not 

have a claim upon the ECF. 

e. Pastors Engaged in Continuing Education: Inasmuch as continuing education is required of all ordained clergy, no 

pastor engaged in a program of continuing education under 351 shall by rea son of such study leave be denied 

the minimum compensation support as specifi ed in the current schedule, except that in cases of educational leave 

in excess of one month, the supplement shall be adjusted as negotiated by the district superintendent and the CEC. 

f. Deacons in Full Connection: As provided in 331.14b, deacons in full connection serving within the local church 

“shall receive a salary from the local church, charge, or cooperative parish not less than the minimum salary 

established by the equitable compensation policy of the annual confer ence for full-time and part-time pastors,” 

although these entities should be reminded that they are fully responsible for the compensation of these 

individuals. If the bishop and cabinet appoint a dea con in full connection to a position as pastor-in-charge of a local 

church or charge, that individual shall have a claim upon the ECF and shall not receive less than the minimum 

compensation speci fi ed in the current schedule for elders in full connection.

266 


4. Request Procedures 

Regular grants from the CEC must be requested by a formal action of the charge conference, supported by a written grant 

application, using the CEC form available through the conference web page, and signed by the district superintendent, 

the pastor, and the secretary of the charge conference. Requests must be completed in full and be accompanied by all 

required documentation in order to be processed by the CEC. Required documentation must include, but is not limited to: 

written plan for decreasing reliance on equitable compensation, letters of support from pastor, church leadership, and 

district superintendent and most recent report on “The Power of 3 for WNCC.” The more information the CEC has about 

a local church situation the better equipped the CEC is to provide support. Requests must be made at least 30 days prior 

to the month when the assistance is to commence. In these cases, the local church or charge must pay at least 70% of 

the minimum applicable to its pastor. For emergency sustentation grants, the district superintendent is responsible for 

submitting documentation to the cabinet and CEC executive committee for immediate processing, approval, and payment 

authorization. 

5. Guidelines for Recommending Minimum Compensation 

The CEC desires to recommend minimum pastoral compensation that is equitable for both churches and pastors. We 

acknowledge that economic conditions vary across our annual conference. To be equitable, therefore, we must be aware of 

the fi nancial impact of our recommendations upon the local churches in order not to make pastoral support an excessive 

burden, while providing our clergy with fair, living, and equitable compensation. 

In making our recommendations, we refer to changes in the North Carolina per capita Income (NCPCI), as maintained by 

the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis, on a two-year-lag basis (the earliest time for which data are obtainable). 

The NCPCI offers a true measure of the underlying economy in which our congregations exist and is independent of our own 

conference actions. We give additional consideration to the two-year-lag Conference Average Compensation (CAC) and other 

measures of the health of our churches and the economy as deemed necessary, segmenting the minimum compensation 

levels into the following categories: 

• Elders and Deacons in Full Connection. 

• Probationary (Provisional)/Associate Members. 

• Local Pastors who have completed the Course of Study/M.Div. 

• Local Pastors who have not completed the Course of Study. 

PROPOSAL: EQUITABLE COMPENSATION POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

X. DISCIPLE BIBLE OUTREACH MINISTRIES OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. 

Disciple Bible Outreach Ministries of NC, Inc. (DBOM) was founded in 1999 as a collaborative DISCIPLE Bible Study ministry 

of the Western North Carolina and North Carolina Conferences. DBOM supports DISCIPLE in the local churches and mobilizes 

local church volunteers to take the DISCIPLE ministry to the larger community. This outreach has been most dynamic in 

correctional settings. 

DBOM provides free DISCIPLE Bible Study facilitators training events and offers hands-on assistance to churches beginning 

new DISCIPLE programs, revitalizing past programs or maintaining existing programs. DBOM manages a large outreach of 

DISCIPLE Bible Study in the prisons, jails and Youth Development Centers of NC. DBOM recruits, trains and certifi es volunteers 

for the prison outreach and works with correctional offi cials throughout NC to establish the programs. Hundreds of local church 

volunteers and thousands of inmates have participated in DBOM outreach ministries in NC alone. 

DBOM has received support for prison ministry both locally and throughout the United Methodist Connection. Now, with 

encouragement from the denomination’s Connectional Table and bolstered by support from a recent partnership with the 

General Commission on United Methodist Men, DBOM is expanding to other states. DBOM has established a new national 

organization (Disciple Bible Outreach National, Inc.) and is currently organizing affi liate ministries in Virginia, Kansas, Tennessee, 

Maryland and Georgia. More expansions are planned in 2012 and beyond. The DBOM of NC staff and board are the guiding 

nucleus of the new initiative which now involves leadership throughout the connection. The staff and board’s commitment is to 

keep the DBOM of NC ministry strong and vital while expanding God’s work.

268 


None of this would be possible without you, the laity and clergy of the conference. The outreach volunteers are the best, and 

the DBOM Board and sub-committees have worked tirelessly to move the ministry forward. Thanks be to God for this exciting 

new expansion and covet your continued prayers. DBOM was born in the churches of the Western North Carolina and North 

Carolina Conferences. It was the passion and dedication of the laity and clergy who gave rise to this ministry which is now being 

offered throughout the connection. Thanks be to God for you, and the ministry needs you more than ever. A primary source of 

DBOM funding comes from the yearly special offering. This year, the offering will be taken on Aug. 28, 2011. Envelopes and 

additional information will be provided soon. DBOM is grateful for your support. 

Thank you and God bless you as we continue to offer DBOM’s ministry in the prisons and pews of America!

Thomasville, N.C., and the vision of Bishop Earl G. Hunt, Jr., and other conference leaders, is devoted to the strengthening of 

preaching in the conference. Laity and clergy both support the institute and benefi t from its emphasis on continuing education 

as a means towards vital and effective preaching. The primary offering of the institute occurs in February when the annual Finch 

Lectures on Preaching are presented as part of the Mission to Ministers. This year, participants gathered at Myers Park United 

Methodist Church in Charlotte, to hear two outstanding speakers: Philip Jenkins, professor at Pennsylvania State University, and 

renowned expert on global Christianity; and Lillian Daniel, senior pastor of the First Congregational Church of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, 

noted speaker and author; and to worship with Willie Jennings, professor of theology at Duke Divinity School, preaching.

Z. THE EUGENE M. COLE FOUNDATION 

The Cole Foundation was established by the Will of Eugene M. Cole in 1944 to provide benefi ts for retired ministers and 

surviving spouses for the Western North Carolina Conference. In 2010, the Foundation directed monthly payments to the 

Conference treasurer to supplement the cost of health care benefi ts to retired ministers and spouses. The Trustees also sponsor 

a breakfast for retired clergy and spouses at Annual Conference. 

The Foundation is governed by three (3) Trustees elected by the annual conference: James C. Windham, Jr., chairperson; 

Juanita Henderson, vice chair; and Anthony Orsbon, secretary. 

PROPOSAL: TRUSTEE OF COLE FOUNDATION 


The Trustees of the Eugene M. Cole Foundation propose that Juanita Henderson, whose term as Trustee expires in 2011, be 

re-elected for another three (3) year term, expiring in 2014. 

James C. Windham, Jr., Chairperson 

AA. UNITED METHODIST FOUNDATION OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, INC. 

As always, it is a pleasure to present the Annual Report of the United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina, Inc. 

Not unlike years past, the foundation has experienced a year full of excitement and change. 

Since the June 2010 meeting, the foundation staff has moved into its new 7,400 square-foot building located at 13816 

Professional Center Drive in Huntersville. The departure from the Western North Carolina Conference Center fulfi lls a 25-year 

dream set in motion when the foundation fi rst became an active entity in the conference. Although the current staff only


numbers eight, the foundation built for future expansion with a building that can accommodate up to 20 staff members. In 

addition, there is a 1,200 square-foot multi-purpose room that leads to a 1,200 square foot deck overlooking woodlands, a 

catering kitchen, and welcome area. The entire building has access to wireless internet and is open to United Methodist groups 

from throughout the conference. In mid-March the Lake Norman District offi ce moved to a 2,200 square-foot suite on the 

southeast corner of the foundation building. 

More excitement and change were in store at the beginning of 2011, when Reverend Scott Ireland was appointed as the 

new Executive Director of Reynolds Ministries. The creation of this full-time position will enable the Reynolds Fund and Reynolds 

Leadership Fund to reach out in even more meaningful ways, with efforts to fi nancially support ministries that make disciples for 

Jesus Christ, and develop strong clergy leadership in the Western North Carolina Conference through the Reynolds Certifi cate 

Program in Church Leadership and the Reynolds Academy for Evangelism and Discipleship. In 2010, over $700,000 was given 

to support various ministries not only with this conference, but throughout the world. 

Through the collaborative ministry of foundation staff member Reverend Janice Virtue and the Western North Carolina 

Conference, strong leadership initiatives are being created that will help reach conference goals of following Jesus, making 

disciples and transforming the world. 

The United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina continues to offer sound, socially responsible fund management 

services, led by an investment committee comprised of faithful United Methodists who are “in the business” of managing 

funds as a career choice. As of Dec. 31, 2010, the foundation’s Diversifi ed Fund had a 13.06% return…2% better than the 

related benchmark! In addition, the UMF Development Fund and corresponding Loan Program continue to be a vital ministry. 

As of March 2011, the foundation has loaned approximately $9.2 million to churches and related institutions throughout North 

Carolina at a very competitive rate, while providing to the investor an above-market rate of return. Based on these ministries, as 

well as those of endowment development, planned giving and stewardship education, the foundation’s total assets surpassed 

the $100 million mark. 

In September the board of directors engaged in a long-range visioning process that birthed a new mission statement: 

The United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina, Inc. 

is a ministry of the church, for the church with a mission to 

build the church for generations to come. 

We engage in this mission by investing in people, churches and innovation. 

Please know that the goal is to search for ways that The United Methodist Foundation of North Carolina can serve its 

constituents throughout western North Carolina. 

The foundation’s 2010 Annual Report, Threads of History…Fabric of Faith celebrates 25 years of active ministry and not 

only shares with the reader its various ministries, but also tells the story as to how it got to where it is at this time in history. This 

report is included in the annual conference handouts that will be provided at registration. Take a few moments to learn more 

about the foundation, and when the time comes that it can be in ministry with you, please give it consideration.

BB. RFD CDC 

RFD CDC is a ministry to enable rural faith development, community development, rural funding, research, and building 

consultation. While RFD CDC is affi liated with the Western NC Conference, it is self-sustaining through grants and fees for 

ministry services. 

The work of RFD CDC has focused on four areas during the past year. The fi rst area is facility planning with local churches 

during the design, budgeting, funding and contracting stage. For projects $1 million and under, ConstruX can provide 

construction services at a guaranteed price. Facility planning for senior and affordable housing, as well as faith-based projects, 

is ongoing both within and beyond the bounds of the Western NC Conference. 

The second area of focus for RFD CDC for the past year has been leadership development, as it has worked on the ABIDE 

program in the Marion District, and with the development of the ABIDE program in other states as RFD CDC expands its working 

relationship with Spiritual Leadership Inc. 

The third area of focus has been economic development. RFD CDC is the national development partner with Circles (an 

initiative of working with persons in poverty to move to self-suffi ciency) as well as providing leadership for the UMC national 

team for Circles. RFD CDC will also be the lead agency for a N.C. state offi ce for this poverty initiative. This program is in 

partnership with the General Board of Global Ministries, who is the coordinator for the UMC focus on ministry with the poor in

CC. BROTHERHOOD/SISTERHOOD OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA 

Connection – the act of the state of connecting. Those in the Brotherhood/Sisterhood think that connection isn’t just a 

word, but a practice. They believe it takes more than talking about connection to actually be connected. It takes action. One way 

connection is alive and well is through the mission of honoring and remembering member clergy women and men who have 

died, as an act of love for their ministry. The Brotherhood/Sisterhood of the Western NC Conference was founded more than 

a century ago by concerned clergy and laity who became aware of the diffi cult circumstances that United Methodist pastors’ 

families face upon death. 

On receiving word, a check in the amount of $9,500 is immediately taken to the surviving spouse or designate. This provides 

immediate fi nancial assistance to the family of the deceased clergy member and, at the same time, assures the family of 

continued love and gratitude for their ministry and service. 

It is the dedicated clergy and lay members of the Brotherhood/Sisterhood who make this ministry happen through their 

generous support of this mission. 

A special thanks to Bob Combs, who continues to serve so faithfully as the executive director. He “lives and breathes” the 

mission of this organization and despite some health concerns this year, has labored tirelessly. 

At the present time, fewer than 50 percent of clergy in the Western NC Conference and 1 percent of the laity of the annual 

conference have membership in the Brotherhood/Sisterhood. Membership is open to all clergy members of the annual 

conference (full, provisional, associate, and local pastor). Clergy under the age of 35, or who have been members of the annual 

conference for fewer than fi ve years, may join by making an application and paying a registration fee of $10. Clergy who are over 

35, or who have been members of the annual conference for more than fi ve years, will be asked to sign a non-interest-bearing 

promissory note for all assessments since their 35th birthday. 

Thanks to God for the privilege of being part of such a signifi cant ministry where connection is more than just a word – it is 

love in action. 

Proposals (To be acted upon in meeting of Brotherhood/Sisterhood membership) 

1. That the assessment rate for clergy members be $8 per call, that lay participants contribute $3 per call, that the 

initiation fee for new clergy members be $10, and that the benefi t paid to benefi ciaries of deceased clergy be 

$9,500. 

2. That both clergy and laity be encouraged to include the Brotherhood/Sisterhood in their wills. 

3. That clergy and laity members be encouraged to pay in advance an annual estimated assessment of $120 and 

$45 respectively based on an average of 15 assessments per year. 

4. That persons with notes be encouraged to begin payments on any outstanding balances. 

5. That assessments be paid upon receipt of notice or within 60 days of the notice. 

6. That each local church be encouraged to observe Brotherhood/Sisterhood Sunday on the third Sunday in February 

or on another Sunday more suitable to the particular congregation.

DD. THE DUKE ENDOWMENT 

The Duke Endowment was formed in December of 1924 by the industrialist and philanthropist James B. Duke. He 

famously said that if it were not for his father and a Methodist minister he would not have amounted to anything. Growing up 

in a Methodist home, he understood the importance of service to community. And when forming his Endowment, Mr. Duke 

made provision for four areas of focus: higher education, health care, child care and rural United Methodist Churches in North 

Carolina. For nearly 87 years, the Endowment has been blessed to be engaged in ministry with rural churches all across the 

conference. The Duke Endowment has witnessed the powerful ways in which the Spirit is alive and the remarkable ministries 

that have ignited congregations. 

Ministries that are truly innovative drawing on the creativity in rural churches and communities and there is no shortage 

of creativity in rural places. Formed by the grace and love of God, and led by the Holy Spirit, rural churches understand what 

it means to be in service with neighbors. Theirs is a powerful and faithful story. The Duke Endowment is blessed to serve 

congregations living into their calling all across the Western North Carolina Conference. 

The Duke Endowment is also blessed to serve clergy through the Clergy Health Initiative. This Initiative is a partnership of 

the Western NC Conference, the NC Conference, the Divinity School at Duke and the Endowment dedicated to clergy. Last fall, 

1150 pastors enrolled in a program called Spirited Life. Cast within a framework of Wesleyan theology and spirituality, Spirited 

Life provides clergy with the tools they need to manage stress; learn to care for their bodies in a healthy, mindful way; and fi nd 

spiritual renewal. Nearly 400 pastors in the fi rst cohort began the 23 month program in January. Cohort 2 will begin in January 

of 2012 with Cohort 3 to kick off in January of 2013. It is a ministry that seeks to enrich soul, mind and body. 

The Thriving Rural Communities Initiative is another example of working in partnership with the two conferences and 

the Divinity School at Duke University. Through the Thriving Rural Communities Initiative, the partners seek to promote the 

development of transformative leaders for rural ministry and thriving congregations. This initiative is directed by Jeremy Troxler 

who is a blessing to rural North Carolina. He approaches the Initiative’s work by training rural ministry fellows, resourcing 

partner congregations, connecting rural clergy and churches and inspiring positive institutional change. Rural Ministry Fellows 

are selected through a rigorous process that considers a number of factors – they are among the best and the brightest. They 

receive a full scholarship to Duke Divinity School as well as special colloquia on serving in rural ministry. When they graduate, 

they covenant to serve in rural communities for at least 5 years. But I sense from conversations with the Fellows, that they 

plan much longer stays in rural congregations. This May, Rural Fellows Laura Beech and Ken Spencer graduated from Duke 

and will serve in the Western North Carolina Conference. Laura will serve Longtown UMC in the North Wilkesboro District and 

Ken will serve Hopewell in the Lexington District (not too far from where Trinity College – now Duke University once stood). The 

Endowment is excited for each of them and their new church homes. And, the newest class of Rural Ministry Fellows from the 

Conference includes: Joshua Kurtz (Greensboro District), Rebekah Shuford (Albemarle District), Joshua Britton (Albemarle 

District) and Darrel Bowles (Asheville District). The future looks bright! 

While the Rural Ministry Fellowships are locked up for next year, there are a number of other continuing education 

opportunities for pastors in Duke Endowment eligible churches. In August, the Endowment will once again host the Convocation 

on the Rural Church. The theme is “Down to Earth Faith” and will feature sessions led by Tex Sample. If you can’t be with us in 

August, know that Study Leave is available throughout the year at Duke Divinity and is offered at a signifi cant cost reduction for 

Endowment pastors. Study Leave allows you to design your own week of learning and gives you access to faculty. It’s a wonderful 

week. If you’re interested in learning more, please go to the website: www.dukeendowment.org 

Finally, The Duke Endowment is making grants. In 2010, grants totaled $11.9 million and were focused on four areas: 

leadership development, church based child care, affordable housing and food/hunger programs. Those four areas will continue 

to be the focus in the coming year. As you discern the ways in which the Spirit is calling your church, please visit the website and 

see if the Endowment can be of service. Applications are available on-line and are due June 15 th for the December grant cycle 

and December 15 th for the June (2012) grant cycle. The Endowment also continues to fund the construction and renovation of


church buildings. Though grants are being awarded, the budget isn’t as big as it once was. Demand, however, has remained 

high. Those at The Duke Endowment continue to pray to be faithful stewards of these resources and deploy them in ways that 

glorify God.

EE. NORTH CAROLINA PASTORS’ SCHOOL AND 

DUKE DIVINITY SCHOOL CONVOCATION 

On Oct. 11-12, 2010, 928 clergy and laity gathered for the annual Convocation and Pastors’ School at Duke Divinity School. 

The event focused on the theme “The Living Witness: Tradition, Innovation, and the Church.” The event featured inspiring 

lectures, seminars and worship services. Bishop N.T. Wright provided the James A. Gray lectures. Rob Bell, pastor, provided the 

Franklin S. Hickman lecture and journalist and author Andy Crouch offered an additional lecture. The Convocation preacher was 

Bishop Vashti McKenzie. Seventeen different continuing education seminars enrolled 606 participants. The seminars included 

topics such as “Technology and Community,” “Embodying Traditioned Innovation,” “Social Capital: Using Abundant Resources to 

Generate Hope,” and “Depth for Youth Ministry.” 

The 2011 Convocation and Pastors’ School will be held Oct. 10-11, and will explore the topic “Drawn into Scripture: Art and 

the Life of the Church” with professor and musician Jeremy Begbie, author Marilynne Robinson, professor and musician Anthony 

Kelley and the BLAK Ensemble, and Dr. Lillian Daniel. The arts–in their varied forms–can provide a source of inspiration. Join in 

an effort to appreciate how the arts can help enliven scripture. 

Event information, including registration, is available at http://divinity.duke.edu/initiatives-centers/lifelong-learning/cps-2011 

or by calling 919-613-5323.

FF. SCHOOLS OF THEOLOGY 

1. CANDLER SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY 

Candler School of Theology prepares real people to make a real difference in the real world. Its distinctive commitment 

to authentic discipleship and relevant ministry enables it to develop uniquely well-rounded leaders who are challenged 

academically, encouraged spiritually, and immersed in Christian service from the fi rst day they arrive on campus. 

As one of the 13 offi cial seminaries of The United Methodist Church, Candler is grounded in the Christian faith and shaped 

by the Wesleyan tradition of evangelical piety, ecumenical openness, and social concern. As one of seven graduate professional 

schools of Emory University, Candler provides a rich context for learning and formation supported by the extensive resources of 

a top-tier research university. As a school located in the major metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia, Candler offers students a 

learning laboratory that refl ects the highly diverse communities of the 21st century world. There is no better place for ministry 

preparation that addresses major denominational priorities: developing leaders, starting and growing churches, ministry with the 

poor, and improving global health. 

Candler’s student body continues to refl ect the diversity and breadth of the Christian faithful. Enrollment stands at 469, with 

358 seeking the Master of Divinity, 67 the Master of Theological Studies, 16 the Master of Theology, 14 the Doctor of Theology, 

and 14 enrolled as Special, Non-Degree students. The total student population is 25% US ethnic minority, 9% international, and 

52% women. Forty-six denominations are represented, with 52% of M.Div. students being United Methodist. The median age of 

the entering class of M.Div. students is 26, with 57% of total enrollment under thirty. 

To ensure that students are prepared for leadership in an increasingly global context, Candler continues its emphasis on 

internationalizing the curriculum. This fall, Dr. Beauty Maenzanise, dean of the theology faculty at Africa University in Zimbabwe, 

joined Candler as the 2010-11 McDonald Chair in the Study of Jesus and Culture, and Dr. Margot Kaessmann, former head 

of the 14 million-member Protestant church in Germany, joined for a semester as visiting Theologian-in-Residence. This year, 

Candler has academic exchange partnerships with theology schools across fi ve continents and nine countries, including many 

related to The United Methodist Church. In addition to its ongoing summer internship program with the Methodist Church in the 

Bahamas, Candler once again partnered with International Relief and Development, Inc., to send eight student interns as far as 

Cambodia and as near as Gulfport, Miss., to address a broad range of issues, including democracy and governance, HIV/AIDS, 

child poverty and mortality, and community development. Travel seminars in 2010-2011 include the Middle East Travel Seminar 

in May-June and World Methodist Evangelism Institute evangelism seminars to the Philippines, India, and Colombia. 

A hallmark of the Candler M.Div. experience, the two-year Contextual Education program shapes students’ pastoral identities 

by interweaving service at ministry sites and churches with academic analysis in the classroom and spiritual refl ection in pastorled 

small groups. In any given week, Candler deploys more than 250 ConEd students throughout the region to minister to people 

in congregations, hospitals, and social service agencies. This year, plans are to expand Candler Advantage, a program designed 

to pay rising third-year M.Div. students for summer internships in congregations so they can concentrate fully on honing their 

pastoral skills beyond the fi rst two years of ConEd. 

Candler’s Lifelong Learning events strengthen the church by providing opportunities for clergy and lay leaders to learn 

more about the practice of ministry. Fall Conference 2010 focused on confl ict transformation; the spring event featured poet, 

author, and funeral director Tom Lynch along with Candler’s own Tom Long, addressing “The Good Funeral.” The 2011 Fall 

Conference highlights “The Art of Preaching in the 21 st Century,” with a chance to learn from some of the most respected names 

in preaching.

274 


In addition to its Lifelong Learning events, Candler oversees the educational process of more than 900 people each year 

through the Course of Study regional school and its fi ve extension schools in the Southeast. 

Despite today’s challenging economic climate, Candler remains committed to making theological education fi nancially 

possible for its students. Although the operating budget essentially remained fl at this year, it increased its total fi nancial aid 

investment to over $5 million. Eighty-three percent of eligible students received Candler-based fi nancial aid, with the average 

award covering 76 percent of tuition. In March, Candler hosted its third annual Leadership Candler event, an all-expensespaid 

discernment experience that draws together top prospective M.Div. students to explore the richness of life and study at 

Candler as they are considered for 30 top scholarships. In addition, Candler won a grant from the Carpenter Foundation to offer 

fi nancial management training to students. The grant also sponsored the public lecture series, “Simple Enough?” to explore the 

relationship between fi nancial and spiritual well-being. Featured speakers were popular United Methodist pastors and authors 

Adam Hamilton and Paul Escamilla. 

The esteemed faculty continues to distinguish itself at the highest levels. Dr. Luke Johnson won the prestigious Grawemeyer 

award in religion, Dr. Carol Newsom received a Luce grant from the Association of Theological Schools, and Dr. Jacob Wright 

received a medal of honor from the Collège de France in Paris. In addition to their achievements in scholarship and teaching, 

faculty members continually demonstrate their dedication to the church through preaching and teaching engagements and 

service in parishes both local and across the country and world. 

Candler celebrates the outstanding achievements of two of its United Methodist faculty as they retire this year: Dr. Russ 

Richey and Dr. Brooks Holifi eld. Both are highly regarded for their extraordinary work in their areas of expertise—the history of 

Methodism and American Christianity, respectively — and for their service to Methodism, both at the local and national levels. 

Candler draws considerable vitality and inspiration from its relationship with The United Methodist Church. The ability to fulfi ll 

its mission of educating faithful and creative leaders for the church’s ministries in the world depends upon the support, gifts, 

and prayers of the larger community. Candler is appreciative of the countless ways others strengthen this essential ministry 

in the life of Methodism. All are invited to visit the campus in Atlanta or online at www.candler.emory.edu to see fi rsthand how 

Candler prepares real people to make a real difference in the real world. 

Jan Love, Dean and Professor of Christianity and World Politics 

2. DUKE DIVINITY SCHOOL 

The academic year 2010-2011 has been a year of transition for Duke Divinity School, and a year of laying the foundations 

for new strategic initiatives. In January 2010, L. Gregory Jones, who had served as dean of the school for 13 years, was named 

Duke University’s new vice president and vice provost for international strategy. The university appointed Dr. Richard B. Hays, the 

George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament, to succeed Jones as dean of the Divinity School. Professor Hays offi cially 

assumed the deanship on July 1, 2010. 

• The most important new initiative under way for the Divinity School is the creation of three new degree programs 

designed to meet the needs of a changing church: 

• The Master of Arts in Christian Studies (M.A.C.S) is a one-year residential program designed for students seeking 

either a general exploration of Christian theology or an interdisciplinary complement to their work in the university’s 

other professional degree programs. 

• The Master of Arts in Christian Practice (M.A.C.P.) is a two-year program designed to provide theological training for 

lay professionals employed in church positions, or for other professionals who see their work as a form of Christian 

vocation. 

• The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) is a professional doctorate providing advanced study for ordained clergy seeking to 

deepen and enhance their practice of ministry. 

Both the M.A.C.P. and the D.Min. will be offered as “hybrid learning” programs that combine short periods of on-campus 

intensive study with a web-based learning platform that enables a cohort of students to remain in ongoing engagement with 

Divinity School faculty and with one another. Dr. Craig Hill, previously on the faculty at Wesley Theological Seminary, has joined 

the Duke faculty as the director of these new programs. The fi rst students will matriculate in the summer of 2011. The fi rst 

cohort for the M.A.C.P. program will focus on youth ministry (an area of great need for the church), and the fi rst cohort of the 

D.Min. will focus on Leadership in the Christian Tradition. 

These programs will expand the range of the school’s impact on wider constituencies, but they will neither compromise 

nor replace the school’s highly successful existing degree programs (M.Div., M.T.S., Th.M., and Th.D.). These degree programs 

will continue to be offered solely as on-campus residential programs. The M.Div. program especially remains the heart of the 

school’s mission, serving as the basic program for the formation of students called to ordained ministry. 

As the fi nancial situation of the university has stabilized during the past year, the Divinity School has begun the process 

of hiring additional faculty. Dr. Lester Ruth, previously of Asbury Theological Seminary, will join the Divinity School as research 

professor of Christian Worship. Dr. Edgardo Colón-Emeric will relinquish his administrative role as director of the Hispanic 

House of Study to accept a tenure-track position as assistant professor of Christian Theology. In addition, Brittany Wilson, who 

is just fi nishing her doctorate at Princeton Theological Seminary, will be joining the faculty as visiting assistant professor of New 

Testament. 

Two junior members of the Divinity School faculty achieved the distinction this year of being awarded promotion and tenure 

at Duke University. Dr. Anathea Portier-Young will be promoted to associate professor of Old Testament, and Dr. C. Kavin Rowe to 

associate professor of New Testament.


Duke Divinity School continues to pursue its tradition of rigorous theological education in the service of the church, academy, 

and world. We were very pleased to welcome a diverse, energetic, and academically strong group of new students in the fall of 

2010. Of 151 entering students seeking the three-year M.Div. degree (bringing our total M.Div. enrollment to 443), 52 percent 

are United Methodist, 15 percent are Baptist, 8 percent are Anglican or Episcopal, and 4 percent are Presbyterian. Forty-six 

other denominations round out the M.Div. class. 

The impact of Faith and Leadership, the online magazine of Leadership Education at Duke Divinity, continues to grow. The 

magazine seeks to provide deeper refl ection on Christian leadership through video interviews with transformative leaders, 

theological refl ections, and in-depth articles. See http://faithandleadership.com/ 

The second year of the Summer Institute, sponsored by the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School, drew 150 

participants for a week-long series of lectures and discussions, led by world-class scholars and practitioners. The aim of the 

program is to build and strengthen Christian communities committed to the task of reconciliation. 

Throughout the year, the Divinity School hosted numerous conferences, visiting lectures by leading scholars, meetings of 

the Episcopal Leadership Forum for United Methodist bishops, and other activities that refl ected the diversity and vitality of the 

Divinity School community. The largest event was the annual Convocation and Pastors’ School in October 2010, which drew over 

900 participants to hear featured lectures by New Testament scholar N.T. Wright, Pastor Rob Bell, and Christian journalist Andy 

Crouch. The convocation sermons were preached by Bishop Vashti McKenzie. 

The mission of the Divinity School is summed up in the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 12:2: “Be transformed by the 

renewing of your minds.” As we seek to be transformed by the gospel, we are deeply grateful for the relationships among the 

United Methodist Church, this Annual Conference, and Duke Divinity School. We look forward to working cooperatively with you in 

the task of preparing men and women for Christian ministry. To learn more about Duke Divinity School, please visit our website 

at www.divinity.duke.edu.

4. WESLEY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 

Washington, DC 

Last conference year saw extraordinary growth and changes at Wesley Seminary, with the largest and youngest entering 

class in their history. Dynamic weekly worship on campus was enhanced by a newly refurbished and fully accessible 

Oxnam Memorial Chapel. United Methodist dean Dr. Amy Oden took the helm. Dr. Oden came from her position as Professor 

of Church History to lead the seminary in the transition from Dr. Bruce Birch’s retirement. Her gifts for shaping Wesley’s vision 

and modeling leadership mark her as an obvious choice to continue in that position. Watch for announcements of a campus 

celebration of her appointment. 

Drew Dyson was also welcomed to the James C. Logan Chair in Evangelism. Professor Dyson is shaping new efforts 

to prepare students for ministry with youth and young adults. Dr. Dyson is an ordained United Methodist pastor who 

served churches and worked for the General Board of Discipleship before pursuing his Ph.D. Also new to the faculty is Sam 

Marullo, Director of Research on Missional Communities and Professor of Sociology. Dr. Marullo is a deacon in The UMC. He 

comes to Wesley after having chaired the Department of Sociology at Georgetown University, while completing a Master of 

Divinity at Wesley. Dr. Marullo will be directing the Center for Missional Church from the Mount Vernon Square – Wesley’s new 

downtown location.

276 


Wesley has dramatically revised the Course of Study School, renewing the curriculum and making it easier for pastors 

to complete the course with alternative scheduling options. A resource for church leaders – The Lewis Center for Church 

Leadership - continues to provide ground-breaking research and resources. Their free online newsletter, Leading Ideas, is a gift 

to all congregations’ leaders with immediately usable ideas. Find out more at www.churchleadership.com. 

Two books on ministry were produced. Dr. Lovett Weems and Tom Berlin, pastor of Floris UMC, co-authored Bearing Fruit: 

Ministry with Results, which gives ministry leaders tools to assess fruitfulness in their ministry. Dr. Michael Koppel and Dr. 

Denise Dombkowski Hopkins co-authored Grounded in the Living Word: The Old Testament and Pastoral Care Practices, which 

explores the connection between pastoral care and biblical interpretation. 

Wesley unveiled a mammoth and unique resource for global theological education in The UMC. Prepared by the Wesley 

Ministry Network, in cooperation with theological educators in the Central Conferences, the Wesleyan Studies Project is three 

DVD courses, structured as 12-lesson courses on Methodist History, Methodist Doctrine and Methodist Evangelism with 

video sessions by more than 50 scholars from 11 countries. They can be ordered at www.wesleyministrynetwork.com. 

Next year bears similarly exciting news. To be added to faculty this coming year are Dr. Cedric Johnson as Assistant 

Professor of Pastoral Theology. Dr. Johnson is well-published and brings extensive experience in pastoral care and counseling. 

He is affi liated with the Church of God in Christ, a denomination that grew from the continuing Wesleyan revival. The library is 

scheduled for renovation, making it the center of student life and creating an Information Commons. 

Two new tracks will launch in the Doctor of Ministry Program. The fi rst is a cohort of military chaplains focused on “Religious 

Leadership in a Complex, Multi-faith Environment.” The second is “Theological Education from a West African Wesleyan 

Context.” This has been designed in partnership with United Methodist brothers and sisters in Liberia to prepare a generation 

of indigenous theological educators. And this summer, Wesley will launch a portal that includes a collection of courses held oncampus, 

via distance learning, and Wesley-related events for which active clergy, alumni, professional lay people and others can 

earn continuing education units (CEUs). 

God’s call is bold. Your seminary should be too. Meet us at www.wesleyseminary.edu.

5. BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY 

Greetings from Boston University School of Theology, one of the United Methodist partners in mission. The school 

appreciates prayerful support, and shares the following new developments. 

News flashes from the school 

New faculty: Three new faculty members arrived this year, and they are already contributing mightily to the life of STH. 

Dr. Walter Fluker is the Martin Luther King Jr. Professor of Ethical Leadership. He teaches exciting courses, consults with 

international organizations on ethical leadership, and leads the Howard Thurman Papers Project, now based at STH. Dr. 

Christopher Evans is Professor of the History of Christianity and Methodist Studies. He brings expertise in American Christianity 

and the history and theology of Wesleyan traditions. Dr. Courtney Goto is Assistant Professor of Religious Education, reviving the 

STH program in educational ministry with her distinctive interest in teaching and the arts. She has recently studied the artful 

ministry of her Japanese-American UMC congregation, especially its sanctuary art, worship, and Japanese garden. 

New curriculum: The new curriculum, “Faith Engaging the World,” has arrived, with its potential to prepare spirituallycentered, 

prophetic, intelligent, practical religious leaders who can contribute to renewing and transforming the church and the 

world. Not only are M.Div. and M.T.S. students benefi tting from the new curriculum. The new one-year Master of Sacred Theology 

program for military chaplains has also launched, responding to their increasing needs to address issues of ethics, trauma, and 

confl ict transformation. 

Church connections: United Methodist Women will read two books authored or co-authored by the faculty in the UMW 

Mission Studies this summer: Dana Robert’s Joy to the World!: Mission in the Age of Global Christianity and Stephanie Hixon 

and Tom Porter’s The Journey: Forgiveness, Restorative Justice and Reconciliation. In addition, Bryan Stone and his students 

continue to initiate and support new church starts; several of the faculty and students have spoken or consulted with church 

boards and agencies; and graduates are giving strong leadership in their home churches and conferences. 

Global connections: Travel seminars have studied this year in Ephesus (modern Turkey) and Russia, and the school has 

collaborated with people in Korea, China, South Africa, Norway, and Australia. Dr. Thomas Thangaraj has been Visiting Professor 

in Global Christianity and Mission, teaching courses in Images of Christ and Christian Encounters with Hinduism. Professor 

Dana Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity and Mission, delivered the opening keynote address in the 100 th 

anniversary of the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference and in the opening convocation of the 2010 Boston Conference: The 

Changing Contours of World Mission and Christianity. The Reverend Canon Ted Karpf, recently of the World Health Organization, 

has joined the team as Director of Development. He is already building new global connections that promise challenging growth 

opportunities. 

Contextual engagement: The school received a grant of $200,000 to support its LINC program – Learning in a Nexus of 

Communities. Partnerships continue to be built with local churches and service agencies, as they contextualize theological 

education at STH. The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations are recognized for supporting these efforts. 

Community building: Community life is buzzing with dynamic weekly worship, followed by community meals and morning 

prayers. Efforts to strengthen community and spiritual life have expanded with the addition of a Spiritual Life Coordinator, 

the Reverend Robin Olson, and the addition of a Coordinator of Communications and International Student Life, Philippa 

Mpunzwana.


Sustainability charge: Greater sustainability is a critical goal, with the implementation of energy conserving practices, the 

addition of a basement green community center, and the launch of an intentional living community for some of the students in 

the “Green House.” 

Still to come 

New Faculty Searches: Currently, faculty searches are underway in preaching, pastoral theology, and history of Christianity. 

People’s history: The STH People’s History Project continues, and has included some wonderful oral history interviews with 

alums this year. Those interested in sharing oral histories should contact the alumni offi ce: (617) 353-2349. 

Lifelong learning: This endeavor has just begun, but collaborations are being built with churches and other educational 

institutions to respond to the needs of local churches, clergy, and lay leaders. 

Alumni networking: Alumni activity to conferences and regions is being decentralized in order to facilitate the exchange of 

ideas, knowledge and collaborations. Jaclyn Jones is the point of contact for these efforts to stimulate the connection between 

alumni and Boston University School of Theology. Jaclyn can be reached at sthalum@bu.edu. 

The school is abundantly grateful to its graduates, conference friends, and church partners throughout the United Methodist 

connection. Prayers are welcomed! 

Mary Elizabeth Moore, Dean 

6. DREW UNIVERSITY THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL 

Former Dean Maxine Beach once said Drew University Theological School is “a special place.” Many agree. It is a welcoming, 

hospitable, and caring community. Drew does not pretend to be a perfect community, but it strives hard to welcome all who 

come through its doors and cares for the shalom, or well-being, of each individual, as well as the common good. 

Drew is a special place because of the many ways it seeks to equip and empower leaders for Christian ministry through the 

numerous programs it offers: M.Div., S.T.M., M.A., M.A.Min., D.Min., and Ph.D.; continuing education opportunities for pastors 

and lay people; internships through Communities of Shalom in Shalom zones worldwide; Partnership for Religious Education 

in Prisons program in a local men’s prison and women’s prison, where Drew students and inmates study and learn together; 

Certifi cation in Spiritual Formation and Camp and Retreat; Cross-Cultural Courses in India, Turkey, El Salvador, Mexico, Taize, 

and Ghana; and United Methodist liaison and Deacon liaison to assist students in their discernment. 

In Dr. Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan’s fi rst weeks, he has begun to visit churches and alumni in the vicinity. He believes very strongly 

that Drew can only do theological education with communities, both communities of faith and other kinds of communities that 

its alumni serve. In many ways, he believes Drew owes a debt to churches and other agencies that work with them to train and 

form students for leadership. 

Drew takes pride in having a faculty that is perhaps one of the most diverse in theological education, with an almost equal 

number of women and men. The student body is equally diverse. Drew takes seriously its United Methodist identity. It is well 

positioned to be a leading progressive United Methodist seminary. It welcomes ongoing dialogue as it works to shape a vision in 

equipping the saints for ministry. Drew makes Christian disciples that transform the world.

GG. LAKE JUNALUSKA ASSEMBLY 

There is great excitement at Lake Junaluska these days. The 100 th anniversary celebration is scheduled for 2013, and with 

the energy that often accompanies a transition of leadership, all are beginning to realize the incredible untapped potential that 

exists in this wonderful place called Lake Junaluska. 

Preparations are afoot for the Centennial Celebration in 2013, and with those preparations comes refl ection on the amazing 

history of this place and its important relationship with the Southeastern Jurisdiction and each of the annual conferences 

making up the SEJ. Lake Junaluska is grateful for the generous support over the years; without this support it would not be here 

today. Lake Junaluska belongs to its supporters. The world has changed, the United Methodist Church is changing, and with 

that the old models of fi nancial support within the church will also need to change. It is hoped that any future fi nancial support 

received from annual conferences in the SEJ will occur because of what Lake Junaluska is, and what it does toward adding 

signifi cant value to the mission of local congregations, the annual conferences, the Southeastern Jurisdiction, and The United 

Methodist Church as a whole. 

In efforts to work fully toward the potential that exists at Lake Junaluska, a four-step process has begun: 

1. Clarify and own the mission and vision statements 

2. Develop a strategic plan that will allow Lake Junaluska to fulfi ll that mission and vision 

3. Secure necessary resources to fund the strategic plan 

4. Fully implement the plan

278 


The Board of Directors of Lake Junaluska Assembly, Inc. affi rmed a revised mission statement in March 2011: “The mission 

of Lake Junaluska is to be a place of Christian hospitality where lives are transformed through renewal of soul, mind, and 

body.” A Strategic Planning Task Force has been appointed by Bishop Goodpaster, with the charge of bringing a comprehensive 

strategic plan to the October board meeting. The development program is being strengthened, to be ready to provide 

opportunities for individuals and organizations to help fund the new plan. Already there are changes in operations that will 

continue to be modifi ed and improved in the “move on to perfection,” a good Wesleyan concept. 

One of the greatest challenges is how to appropriately remember the past, but boldly embrace the future. Lake Junaluska is 

diligently working to identify those things from the past that must be preserved, and is at the same time envisioning a future that 

requires them to do things differently. They look forward to working in partnership. 

Executive Director Jack Ewing says, “I was attracted to this new position not only because I have come to love this place 

we call Lake Junaluska but because I see so much potential for this “holy ground” playing a critical role in impacting the world 

for God and for good. And I am convinced that the potential I see for this place today is only a small fraction of what we can 

become. I am so grateful for the vision of those who founded Lake Junaluska almost one hundred years ago and am humbled 

by the opportunity to provide guidance as we enter into the next one hundred years of helping to usher in the Kingdom of God 

through Lake Junaluska.” 

The future of Lake Junaluska is indeed very bright. 

Jack Ewing, Executive Director 

HH. AFRICA UNIVERSITY 

Africa University: Serving God. All the Time. Everywhere. 

Support from United Methodists around the world has enabled Africa University to strongly emerge from Zimbabwe’s recent 

economic and political crises. 

“As we have endured Zimbabwe’s national crisis, we have, indeed discovered not only what we are, but reinforced whose 

we are,” says Dr. Fanuel Tagwira, vice chancellor. “We are preparing Africa’s newest generation of leaders while proclaiming our 

faith and allegiance to Jesus Christ.” 

The university is preparing to celebrate its 20 th anniversary of ministry and service to Africa in 2012. 

The university offers thanks to the 21 annual conferences that met 100 percent of their apportionments for the Africa 

University Fund. In 2010, United Methodists contributed nearly $2.2 million to the Africa University Fund. That represents more 

than 86 percent of the $2.5 million goal. The fund supports general operating costs, such as faculty and staff salaries and 

upkeep of facilities. 

While meeting apportionments is important, second-mile giving to the university’s endowment for student scholarships is 

vital. Students have a great need for scholarship support. 

Africa University graduated 349 students in June 2010, and opened the 2010-2011 school year with 1,200 students 

representing 25 African countries. Since opening in 1992, more than 3,500 students have earned bachelor’s and master’s 

degrees. Africa University prepares leaders in theology, agriculture, business and social sciences, health sciences, and peace 

and justice. 

Africa University’s curriculum and support of the surrounding community refl ects its biblical commitment to service and the 

Wesleyan heritage. Graduates are prepared to serve Africa in ways that refl ect the church’s four areas of focus: ministering to 

the poor, combating diseases of poverty, creating and revitalizing congregations, and developing principled Christian leaders. 

The 2010 graduating class included 39 recipients of the university’s inaugural master’s degree in intellectual property. They 

represented 15 African countries. Africa University is the fi rst university in sub-Saharan Africa to offer this degree. It stresses the 

value of protecting intellectual property for the people of Africa. It is one more example of the ethos of the University – preparing 

leaders who remain in Africa to serve Africa. 

Another important aspect of the university is its commitment to gender diversity. The student body is nearly evenly divided 

between females and males. That is a signifi cant development in Africa – a positive sign for the expanding role of women across 

the continent. 

Another positive sign is the commitment of African United Methodists to take an even more active role in supporting the 

university. During the 2010-2011 academic year, African bishops broke ground on a new housing facility for staff – funded by 

annual conferences in Africa. This housing unit is expected to be ready for the opening of the 2011-2012 academic year. 

Africa University is preparing to add additional cyber-campuses. Student applications far outstrip the ability to educate 

students on the Old Mutare campus. So, more locations are being added to the online cyber courses. The fi rst virtual campus 

is located in Maputo, Mozambique. As service is broadened to all of Africa, plans are being made for virtual campuses in the 

Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone. A key to the success of these cyber-campuses will be the 

new, expanded ability to reach the world through the Internet. The university recently fi nished connecting with a new high speed, 

fi ber optic cable system that links Zimbabwe with the world. 

All of this is happening through the prayers and fi nancial support of United Methodists around the world. Churches are 

encouraged to meet their Africa University Fund shared ministry obligation this year - their support is part of The United 

Methodist Church’s response to God’s call to serve Africa. This support prepares Africa’s next generation of leaders. They will 

sprea d the Gospel of Jesus Christ, improve health care and living conditions, expand business and commerce, and educate 

another generation of leaders in this rapidly changing region of the world.

II. HINTON RURAL LIFE CENTER 

Hinton Rural Life Center, located in the mountains of southwestern North Carolina near Georgia and Tennessee, is a 

mission agency of the Southeastern Jurisdiction. Inspired by Jesus Christ, the Hinton Center seeks to be a creative catalyst for 

building healthy and effective communities of faith by advocating for churches of small membership, providing resources and 

consultation for all congregations, offering opportunities for service-based mission and refl ection, addressing issues that affect 

human well -being and quality of life, and furnishing sacred space for hospitality, spiritual growth, and renewal. 

Building upon the success of the Colleague Covenant Forum, the First Parish Project is a continuing education program 

aimed at developing and sustaining effective pastoral leadership in the small membership church. This ecumenical program 

targets pastors who are age 35 or younger and serving their fi rst full time pastorate. In 2010 Hinton Center hosted two FPP 

groups in fi ve separate sessions and led consultations for 13 of the participating churches. Current recruitment for the ninth 

group is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2011, with the remaining commitment to equip pastors for ministry in the small 

membership church. 

The Hinton retreat lodge and cottages continue to be offered as sacred space for hospitality and renewal. Whether hiking 

to the outdoor chapel, meditating by the labyrinth, enjoying a canoe ride on the lake, or relaxing on the front porch, guests 

experience fi rsthand the beauty of God’s creation. Last year, Hinton Center hosted over 11,324 person/nights with over 1,000 of 

those coming from districts and United Methodist churches in the Western North Carolina Conference. 

Equipping small membership churches with effective ministry skills remains a vital part of Hinton Center’s core purpose. The 

staff works by invitation from local churches, cooperative ministries, districts, or conferences to provide leadership training and 

consultation. They offer a variety of resources for both clergy and laity seeking to build healthy rural communities. During 2010, 

Hinton Center hosted three small membership church workshops with 130 people in attendance, and fi ve district/conference 

consultations were conducted throughout the Southeast. 

Since the mid-1960’s, volunteers from across America have been working with Hinton to provide much needed assistance 

in the areas of home repair and new home construction. Last summer alone, the collaborative efforts of over 1,100 volunteers 

resulted in the repair and maintenance of 50 homes. These volunteers contributed 33,000 service hours as they journeyed 

together, experiencing the rich mountain culture and growing in their understanding of Christian community and faith in action. 

These volunteers also worked side-by-side with the third group of new homeowners in the Mutual Self-Help housing program 

under the supervision of a professional contractor. Five new homes were completed in 2010, with eleven more scheduled for 

completion by November 2011. To date, over 50 families have been transformed by the reality of home ownership. 

The majority (85%) of Hinton Center’s annual $1.5 million budget is generated from program fees and retreat operations. 

Funding from the Southeastern Jurisdiction contributed 2%, while direct appeals, Advance Special giving, and foundation grants 

resulted in the remaining 13% of the operating budget. 

Fifty years ago, a small group of committed United Methodists responded to their pastor’s call to give the best they had to 

God. From this original vision, the ministries of Hinton Rural Life Center continue today, bringing hope and transformation to 

rural communities. Hinton Center is thankful for the support from the Western North Carolina Conference and looks forward to 

being in ministry for the next fi fty years.

PETITION 7 

Subject: WNCC Board of Congregational Development Funding 

Submitted by: Ken Partin, Chairperson and Steve James, Director 

Text: 

Whereas: Bishop Larry Goodpaster advanced and the Western North Carolina Annual Conference embraced the divinely inspired 

vision of “The Power of Three” which includes the establishment of 30 new congregations prior to December 31, 2012; and 

Whereas: this vision inspires us to live out our conference mission of following Jesus, making Disciples and transforming the 

world; and 

Whereas: It is widely recognized that The United Methodist Church in the United States, like all mainline denominations, 

faces a two-pronged crisis in membership: an aging population which is departing the church militant at increasing rates; and an 

absence of younger members being attracted to our existing churches; and 

Whereas: The Conference Council on Finance and Administration and the Connectional Table have presented a 2011 

apportionment budget to the annual conference proposing $700,000 in funding for new faith communities, an amount 

representing almost 1/3rd of the total amount committed to the conference vision and goals fund, and they and other 

conference leaders have expressed support for strong future funding of new faith communities from the apportioned vision and 

goals fund of the annual conference; and 

Whereas: It will take funding from sponsoring local churches, individual donors, apportionments at the conference and 

district level and deep personal stewardship from the members of new faith communities to fully fund the needed ten new faith 

communities a year; and


Whereas: waiting for the proper fi nancial, social, or religious climate before we take action will only delay the benefi ts and 

blessings we will fi nd in obedience to God’s call and vision, so powerfully expressed by our Bishop Larry Goodpaster; therefore, 

be it 

Resolved, That The Western North Carolina Annual Conference directs the Conference Board of Congregational 

Development, Connectional Table and WNC Council on Finance and Administration to: 

a. Develop a major funds campaign in collaboration with Bishop Goodpaster, the Board of Congregational 

Development, The United Methodist Foundation, The Duke Endowment, The Council on Finance and 

Administration and key lay and clergy leaders of the Annual Conference. The goal for this multi-year fund campaign 

for new faith communities would be set by the end of 2011 after a feasibility study and needs assessment has 

been completed by the conference leadership. The fi rst year goal for the campaign should be not less than 

$1,000,000. [NOTE: The Florida Annual Conference raised $20 million to create an endowment for the perpetual 

funding of new faith community development] 

b. Request districts to prayerfully and missionally consider increasing their district apportionments to at least $5.00 

per member for the support of New Faith Communities to be directed by the District Board of Congregational 

Development but used missionally within or beyond the district area (295,000 x $5.00 = $1.475m). [NOTE: 

The Texas Conference, virtually equal in size and budget to WNC, apportions $1.7 million for congregational 

development at the conference level and another $1.7 million for congregational development at the district level] 

c. Work closely with the conference trustees and district superintendents to sell abandoned properties so funds can 

be expended in support of New Faith Community Development at the District and Conference level. 

d. The plan design would be presented to the 2012 Annual Conference for fi nal action 

The WNC Conference further directs that Launch Pastors and Launch Teams also will be expected to personally raise funding 

from local churches, foundations and missionally minded individuals to support start up costs for their new faith communities. The 

goal for each launch team equaling 10% of the projected start up and salary support costs for the new launch, or approximately 

$30,000 for each team.

PETITION 21 

Subject: Rural Life Sunday 

Submitted by: Rev. Randy L. Wall, Chairperson, United Methodist Rural Fellowship 

Text: 

Whereas, Paragraph 265.3 of The Book of Discipline (2008) states that: 

“Rural Life Sunday shall be observed on a date to be determined by the annual conference. Rural Life Sunday shall call the 

Church to celebrate the rural heritage of The United Methodist Church, to recognize the ongoing crisis occurring in rural areas 

of the nation and world today, and to affi rm the inter-dependence of rural and urban communities. The observance of Rural Life 

Sunday shall be under the general supervision of the General Board of Global Ministries;” and 

Whereas, The rural crisis had led many rural residents of our country to suffer the loss of self-esteem and their way of life due to 

the closure of farms, businesses, schools, and health care facilities; and 

Whereas, the state of North Carolina continues to suffer the loss of rural and open land due to increased development; and 

Whereas, the good citizens of North Carolina in rural and urban areas face growing environmental concerns about the quality 

of our land, water, and air; and 

Whereas, Rural Life Sunday has traditionally promoted themes related to health and wholeness, conservation, and stewardship 

of our natural resources; and 

Whereas, these themes are of increasing importance; and 

Whereas, The Book of Discipline gives authority to the annual conference to set Rural Life Sunday on the date best for the annual 

conference; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church designate the sixth Sunday after Easter, 

or another Sunday where needed, as Rural Life Sunday in 2012; urge the clergy and laity of its member congregations to observe 

this day; and encourage its member congregations to utilize resources for this observance from such sources as the Board 

of Global Ministries, the United Methodist Rural Fellowship, the Rural Chaplains Association, and county Soil and Water Conservation 

offi ces located across the region.

PETITION 22 

Subject: Expand the Definition of a Union Church 

Submitted by: Dianne R. Johnston, Pastor, and Barbara Jenkins, Lay Delegate, of Pleasant Grove Union Church, Weaverville, 

Asheville District 

Text: 

Whereas, the only defi nition of an ecumenical church of the four listed in 208 of The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist 

Church 2008 that is limited to two denominations is in 208(b), I propose that the words “or more” be added to 208(b). Rationale: 

Adding the additional words “or more” to 208(b) will make the description consistent with the other ecumenical church 

membership roll designations in 208, and will allow union churches to consist of more than two denominations; therefore, be it 

Resolved: That the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church petition the 2012 General Conference 

to amend 208 (b) to read as follows: 

208(b) a union church, in which a congregation with one unifi ed membership roll is related to two or more denominations;

Text: 

Whereas, Many people are hurting from the effects of bullying in the forms of physical and verbal harassment, oppression, and 

exclusion; and 

Whereas, Western North Carolina churches which are creating safe spaces for all people are experiencing life and growth; and 

Whereas, Paragraph 162 of the Book of Discipline states: 

“We affi rm all persons as equally valuable in the sight of God. We therefore work toward societies in which 

each person’s value is recognized, maintained, and strengthened. We support the basic rights of all 

persons to equal access to housing, education, communication, employment, medical care, legal redress 

for grievances, and physical protection. We deplore acts of hate or violence against groups or persons 

based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious affi liation, or economic status. Our respect for 

the inherent dignity of all persons leads us to call for the recognition, protection, and implementation of the 

principles of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights so that communities and individuals may claim and 

enjoy their universal, indivisible, and inalienable rights;” and 

Whereas, The effects of bullying can halt the healthy development of our all people socially, emotionally, and spiritually. 

According to a study by Iowa State University, “Individuals who are bullied experience severe emotional consequences such as 

anxiety, passivity, academic problems, social defi cits, and low self-esteem.” 1 Bullying leads young people to isolation and prevents 

them from creating healthy friendships with their peers. This isolation can lead to participation in high risk behaviors; and 

Whereas, Jesus taught, “you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39); therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Secretary of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church petition the 

2012 General Conference to delete Resolution No. 3425 of The Book of Resolutions and substitute the following: 

3425. Prohibition of Bullying 

The General Conference of The United Methodist Church vows that we will no longer be silent about the 

value of each and every life. To that end, we categorically oppose the practices of bullying (habitually cruel 

or overbearing behavior). 

We urge all United Methodist related institutions, ministries and entities to create safe space for each and 

every child of God, without regard to religion, race, ethnicity, culture, citizenship, socio-economic status, 

gender identity, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, physical appearance and speech. 

Further, in the spirit of advocating for safe sanctuary, we call upon every United Methodist to respond to 

acts of bullying with acts of compassion. We will take a public stand against speeches of hate, harassment 

and acts of violence fi lled with long-held prejudices against all persons. As a strong witness against bullying, 

the Council of Bishops will spend a portion of one meeting in the next quadrennium studying the reality and 

effects of bullying.

Moreover, we call upon the Church and society to intentionally validate, support, and empower persons 

being injured by bullying behavior in workplaces, in schools, and in all environments.

Whereas, “The United Methodist Church opposes continued military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, 

the confi scation of Palestinian land and water resources, the destruction of Palestinian homes, the continued building of illegal 

Jewish settlements, and any vision of a ‘Greater Israel’ that includes the occupied territories and the whole of Jerusalem and its 

surroundings.” (2008 Book of Resolutions, “Opposition to Israeli Settlements in Palestinian Land,” #6073, p. 832); and 

Whereas, The United Methodist General Board of Church & Society, along with twelve other denominations and faith-related 

organizations, has endorsed a letter to President Obama that declares the United States must respond positively to the resolution 

on stopping Israeli settlement construction when it comes before the U.N. Security Council; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church also send a letter to the President, to 

express regrets that the United States has vetoed an Arab resolution at the UN Security Council condemning Israeli settlements 

in the Palestinian territories as an obstacle to peace, a resolution which was sponsored by at least one hundred thirty countries, 

and all fourteen other members of the Security Council; and urging that all possible measures be taken by the United States to 

stop the expansion of the illegal Israeli settlements.

Whereas, Any discussion of immigration and government immigration policy must begin with the truth that every human being 

is made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-28), and that immigrants made in the image of God have supreme value with the 

potential to contribute greatly to society, and that Jesus exemplifi es respect toward others who are different in his treatment 

of the Samaritans (Luke 10:30-37; John 4:1-42); and that other New Testament passages state that Christians should show 

compassion and hospitality to immigrants (Rom. 12:13; Heb. 13:2); and 

Whereas, The United States of America is a country founded by immigrants, and its history has been characterized by waves of 

immigrants from different parts of the world, and immigrants will continue to be an essential part of who we are as a country,our 

response to immigration must include an understanding of this immigrant history and an awareness of the positive impact of 

multiple cultures on national life over the last 250 years. The challenge today is to determine how to maintain the integrity of 

national borders, address the situation with millions of undocumented immigrants, devise a realistic program to respond to 

labor needs, and manifest the humanitarian spirit that has characterized this country since its founding; and 

Whereas, Due to the limited number of visas and the number of years (sometimes approaching 30 years) it takes for our 

government to process visa applications, millions have entered the United States without proper documentation or have 

overstayed temporary visas. Society has ignored the existence of an unauthorized work force due to the economic benefi ts of 

cheap immigrant labor. Without legal status and wary of reporting abuses, immigrants can be mistreated and underpaid by 

employers. Deportation of wage-earners has separated families and complicated the situation for many. Most undocumented 

immigrants desire to regularize their legal status, but avenues to assimilation and citizenship are blocked by local, state, and 

federal laws; and 

Whereas, Immigrant communities offer a new, vibrant fi eld for evangelism, church planting, and ministry, our own United 

Methodist Church has launched efforts to bring the gospel to these newcomers, to establish new churches, and to train leaders 

for immigrant believers; and these brothers and sisters in Christ are revitalizing churches across the country and are planting 

new churches and evangelizing their people; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That motivated by the desire to offer a constructive word for the country’s complicated immigration situation and 

guided by the Holy Scriptures, we the members of the Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist church call 

for the comprehensive reform of the immigration system. We believe that national immigration policy should be considerate of 

immigrants who are already here and who may arrive in the future and that its measures should promote national security and 

the general welfare in appropriate ways; and 

Resolved, We urge: 

● That immigrants be treated with respect and mercy by our own churches. Exemplary treatment of immigrants by 

Christians can serve as the moral basis to call for government attitudes and legislation to refl ect the same virtues; 

● That the government develop structures and mechanisms that safeguard and monitor the national borders with 

effi ciency and respect for human dignity;

286 


● That the government establish more functional legal mechanisms for the annual entry of a reasonable number of 

immigrant workers and families; 

● That the government recognize the central importance of the family in society by reconsidering the number and 

categories of visas available for family reunifi cation, by dedicating more resources to reducing the backlog of cases 

in process, and by reevaluating the impact of deportation on families; 

● That the government establish a sound, equitable process toward earned legal status for currently undocumented 

immigrants, who desire to embrace the responsibilities and privileges that accompany citizenship; 

● That the government legislate fair labor and civil laws for all residing within the United States that refl ect the best of 

this country’s heritage; 

● That immigration enforcement be conducted in ways that recognize the importance of due process of law, the 

sanctity of the human person, and the incomparable value of family; 

● That our own state legislature avoid enacting laws that dehumanize our immigrant neighbors or deny them access 

to health care, educational opportunities, or public safety; and 

Resolved, That the bishop of the Western North Carolina Conference communicate this petition, along with a letter, to the 

President of the United States of America, the Governor of the State of North Carolina, the two North Carolina representatives to 

the United States’ Senate, The Speaker of the House of the North Carolina General Assembly, and The President Pro Tempore of 

the North Carolina Senate.

Subject: Drop the I-Word Resolution 

Submitted by: Rev. Patricia G. Pegram, Esq., Peace and Justice Clinic and Matthews UMC, Jeannette Coggins, Peace and Justice 

Clinic and Matthews UMC, Susan Suarez Webster, Peace and Justice Clinic and Harrison UMC 

Text: 

Whereas, Holy Scripture reminds us of the inherent worth and value of all people, and 

Whereas, The Social Principles of the United Methodist Church “deplore acts of hate or violence against groups or persons 

based upon race,” and 

Whereas, We honor the diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds refl ected in the body of Christ, and 

Whereas, We understand that immigrant rights are often framed within a hateful and hostile discourse in media, government 

and the church, and 

Whereas, We are aware that certain racially derogatory language used in media, political discourse and other institutional settings 

has historically fostered harmful actions including racial profi ling practices, hate crimes and violence, and 

Whereas, The use of the term “illegals” (the i-word) when referring to people dehumanizes and divides communities, contributing 

to punitive and discriminatory actions aimed primarily at immigrants and communities of color, and 

Whereas, The racially derogatory i-word endangers basic human rights including the presumption of innocence and the right to 

due process; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That we, as the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church: 

---Ask United Methodists to commit in both written and verbal communication that no child of God is “illegal.” 

---Strongly encourage local churches, districts, annual conferences, general agencies, campus ministry units, and any 

other place where the United Methodist Church has a witness to expand awareness within the church and communi 

ties the negative racial impacts of calling people “illegals.” 

---Continue to affi rm the human rights of all persons regardless of their nationality or legal status. 

---Call on United Methodists to strongly denounce xenophobic and racist language used to describe human beings; 

---Ask United Methodists to start using the phrase “undocumented residents” when necessary. 

Resolved, That we endorse the Drop the I-Word Campaign and join with communities across the Church and the country in 

asking media organizations and journalists to stop using the i-word in their description of human beings.

Subject: 20/20 Visioning an AIDS-Free World 

Submitted by: Daryl E. Brown, Lay Leader, First United Methodist Church, Charlotte, Charlotte District 

Text: 

Whereas, the global HIV and AIDS pandemic has for more than 30 years been impacting the world, particularly among the 

poor and the marginalized, and the General Conference has established the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund which has 

supported more than 175 HIV and AIDS church-oriented and Christ-centered ministries in 37 countries, and 

Whereas, more than 30 million people are infected world-wide, almost 50% of whom are women, and more than 15 

million children are orphaned, and information about the global health crisis and the church response are available on www. 

umglobalaidsfund.org; and 

Whereas, Jesus called his disciples to “heal every disease and sickness” (Matthew 10:1) and John Wesley instructed his 

followers to treat the sick without stigma or discrimination; and


Whereas, a gift as small as $20 can stop the transmission of HIV from several mothers to their new-born babies, supply 

nutrients to 20 HIV positive children suffering from dehydration, ensure nursing care for a newborn infant born with AIDS, teach 

young people and adults how to prevent HIV, feed an HIV positive person for a month so they can take powerful medicines, and 

provide free Upper Room biblical readings and prayers for those infected and affected; therefore, be it 

Resolved, that since the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund Committee has launched a campaign entitled “20/20: Visioning 

an AIDS-Free World,” the Western North Carolina Annual Conference: 

Endorses the “20/20: Visioning an AIDS-Free World” campaign. 

Calls upon its churches in 2012 to devote at least 10 minutes discussing the pandemic and practical ways each congregation 

can respond. 

Commits that 10 minutes of the 2012 Western North Carolina Annual Conference plenary time be devoted to “20/20: 

Visioning an AIDS-Free World.” 

Invites every church member to contribute yearly $20, $200 or more to the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund Advance 

 

#982345. 

Asks individuals and congregations to join the 2020 Club comprised of those who have committed $2020 by 2020 to 

the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund; and 

Resolved, since words are best matched by action, we urge the 2012 Western North Carolina Annual Conference to take a 

special offering to support the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund (Advance #982345)

PETITION 33 

Subject: Church Assessment Task Force Membership 

Submitted by: Nancy B. Rankin, Chairperson of the WNC Conference Congregational Vitality Team 

Text: 

Whereas, 213 of The Book of Discipline states that “every local church is encouraged to study their congregation’s 

potential;” and 

Whereas, Churches in the WNC Conference have responded positively to this challenge; and 

Whereas, It has largely been our experience that some churches going through the 213: “A Process for Assessment of 

Local Church Potential” have expressed a preference for fewer study task force members from outside of the local church 

congregation, and 

Whereas, In order to provide enough outside study task force members to churches requesting to go through the Assessment 

of Local Church Potential, therefore be it 

Resolved, The Western North Carolina Conference petitions the 2012 General Conference so that the sentence in 213 

that reads: “The task force shall be composed of an equal number of lay and clergypersons and shall include persons from that 

congregation.” Be changed to read: “The task force shall be composed of at least one clergy facilitator, who is not appointed to 

the local church doing the assessment, and one laity facilitator, who is not a member of the local church doing the assessment, 

assigned by the District Superintendent, and shall include the clergy and selected persons from that congregation.”

X. HISTORICAL MATERIAL 

A. HISTORICAL SKETCH 

The Western North Carolina Conference shall include all North Carolina west of the North Carolina Conference, except 

Savannah Church, in Alleghany County, North Carolina; and also that part of North Carolina lying north of the New River, and 

including that part of Virginia lying south of that river in the loop in Grayson County, Virginia; including all the territory in Carroll 

and Patrick Counties, Virginia, south of the crest of the Blue Ridge, and west of the Dan River. (Discipline, 1948, 1957) 

This territory is identical with that of the Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, 

South. All three branches of Methodism forming The Methodist Church were included in this new conference. From the Blue 

Ridge-Atlantic Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church came 39 ministers and 11,901 church members. The 

North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Protestant Church contributed 74 ministers and 22,361 church members. 

The Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South, added 377 ministers and 167,028 

church members. This gave the new conference 490 members, with 28 others on trial, and 201,290 church members. The Blue 

Ridge-Atlantic Conference has held 62 ses¬sions; the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, 112; and 

the Western North Carolina, 50 (see Journal, 1939, pp. 115, 169). 

The Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church was formed on June 5, 1968, by the merger of the 

Western North Carolina Conference and that portion of the North Carolina-Virginia Conference situated within the bounds of the 

Western North Carolina Conference (see Journal, 1968, p. 84). The North Carolina-Virginia Conference had been organized in 

Greensboro on Aug. 11, 1964, and, in addition to the organizational session, held four sessions prior to the 1968 merger.

F. MEMOIRS OF DECEASED CLERGY AND DIACONAL MINISTERS 

JANET ELIZABETH ANDERSON 

April 15, 1947 – November 29, 2010 

Janet Elizabeth Anderson was born to the late Frances Williams and Lester Fauer Anderson on April 15, 1947, in 

High Point, N.C. She graduated from Grainger High School in 1965 and The University of Missouri Journalism School in 

1969. After graduation, she worked fi rst for the Kinston Free Press and then for the Hartford Courant, where she was 

nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for her work investigating car repair scams in the Hartford, Conn., area. She later worked 

as a news anchor in Charlotte, N.C., Atlanta, Ga., and Kansas City, Mo. 

Through Disciple Bible Study at Boone United Methodist Church, she heard a call to ordained ministry at age 50. 

She attended Asbury Theological Seminary where she earned the Master of Divinity degree in 1996. She was licensed 

as a local pastor that same year, ordained a deacon in 1998, and was received into full conference membership and 

elder’s orders in 2003. Her appointments included: Temple Hill-Roaring River in the North Wilkesboro District, 1996-2001; East Bend in the 

Northeast District, 2001-2006; and briefl y at Bess Chapel-Bethlehem in the Gastonia District before emphysema forced her to take incapacity 

leave in November 2006. 

This charming and witty woman moved to Wilkesboro’s Rose Glen Village where she lived until her death at age 63 on Nov. 29, 2010. About 

30 of the Rev. Anderson’s closest friends and family members gathered in a one-room, seven-pew church on the Joseph Williams 

Farm in the Southwood community of Kinston, N.C., to give thanks to the woman who demanded the truth from every person, but 

left no one in the cold at their darkest hour. 

Friends and family reflected on the Janet’s life. “She gave away everything and did not tend to worldly matters. She genuinely 

helped and cared for people, no matter where they were, what they did, where they came from, and we want to make sure that 

stays intact.” Another indicated, “We called her ‘the fount of all wisdom and knowledge’ because if she didn’t know something 

she knew where to find it. ”Janet believed in the power of prayer. A friend remarked, “She found it urgent if you asked for prayer. 

She would immediately grab your hand and say ‘let’s pray’ instead of promising to pray for you.” 

Even in her illness, she remained upbeat and full of life. At Rose Glen, she ministered with warmth and compassion to the spiritual needs 

of the elderly who lived around her. As one friend put it after her death, “If there was ever a person who was waiting to meet the Lord, it was 

Janet.” She is survived by three brothers, Lester William Anderson and his wife, Linda, of Atlanta; Robert Thompson Anderson and his wife, 

Marilyn, of Raleigh, and David Joseph Anderson and his wife, Susan, of High Point.

GEORGE ELTON AUMAN 

April 20, 1929 – March 20, 2011 

George Elton Auman was born on April 20, 1929, in Biscoe in Montgomery County, N.C., to Roy and Lillian Cole 

Auman. Early in his life, his parents relocated their family to Seagrove, N.C. George was the oldest of seven children, 

and when George was 13 years old, his father died unexpectedly. Times were diffi cult in Randolph County in the 

1940s, and George picked up odd jobs to help his family. When he was old enough, in addition to being a student, 

George drove a school bus and worked a second-shift job so he could provide for his mother, brothers, and sisters. 

In 1947, George graduated from Seagrove High School and immediately entered the United States Marine Corps. 

From 1947 to 1950, George faithfully served his country. It was while he was stationed in California that George 

experienced a life-changing event. He had been invited by another Marine to attend a Bible study at a church 

near the Marine base. While in attendance at that study, George experienced God’s call on his heart to the Christian life and to ultimately 

become a church pastor. In the summer of 1950, George completed his military service. He returned to North Carolina and enrolled as an 

incoming freshman student at High Point College (now High Point University). George’s high school girlfriend, Nancy Lee Sugg, with whom he 

corresponded throughout his military service, was also a member of that incoming freshman class. They were married on Jan. 5, 1951. They 

were blessed with two children, Belinda Lee Suddreth on Sept. 20, 1953, and George Milton Auman, on Feb. 1, 1956. 

George Auman was licensed to preach in 1951 and completed his undergraduate degree at High Point in 1954. He was ordained deacon in 

1956, completed the Course of Study at Duke Divinity School in 1957, and ordained elder in 1959. During his tenure in the Western North 

Carolina Conference, George served the East Bend Circuit, 1954; Bethel-Shiloh, 1955-1958; Davie Circuit, 1958-1961; Oak Grove, 1961-1962; 

Badin, 1962-1966; Old Town-Stanleyville, 1966-1968; Homestead-Charlotte, 1968-1973; Pineville, 1973-1977; First UMC-Mocksville, 

1977-1984; Central-Kings Mountain, 1984-1989; and Pine Grove-Winston-Salem, 1989-1991. In June 1991, George and Nancy retired to the 

Lake Norman area of the Western North Carolina Conference, making their home in Terrell, N.C. 

George’s pastoral ministry across the Western North Carolina Conference celebrated his passion for God’s amazing and abundant grace. 

He was an unselfi sh individual who was concerned for all of God’s children. In each congregation George served, there was always a focus on 

reaching out to the least, the last, and the lost. In addition to this local outreach, George involved his congregations in global outreach through 

the Conference Building Team program. During his ministry, he traveled with mission teams to Haiti, Puerto Rico, Panama, and Ketchikan, 

Alaska. McDowell Mission in McDowell County, W.Va., and Hinton Rural Life Center in western North Carolina were also other mission emphases 

for George. George was also an excellent private pilot and a short-wave radio operator. Often, he would weave these skills into the mission and 

ministry of the local church. He was a mentor as well to many young clergy across our conference. His wisdom and guidance were valuable 

gifts to those just beginning their ministry. 

During their retirement, George and Nancy became active in the life of Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Sherrills Ford, N.C. George’s 

continued passion for the faith was evident in his Sunday school teaching and continued focus on missions. One such ministry emphasis was 

the newly formed Conference Mission Center, located in Terrell, less than a mile from his home. Graciously, George volunteered his time so 

that this newly established conference ministry would have a local presence “24/7” if need be. 

Volunteering, serving, and helping others were hallmarks of his ministry, practices that continued into his retirement years. As George’s 

health began to decline, however, his ability to help others slowed too. Gradually, George became homebound, unable to serve in the capacity 

to which he was accustomed. He was still able to share, however, with delight in his eyes, about those places and times where mission and 

ministry had touched his life and the lives of others with Christ’s amazing love. Following a brief period of hospitalization, George entered 

Abernethy Center where he died on March 20, 2011. A graveside service was held on March 22, 2011, at Mt. Olive United Methodist Church 

Cemetery in Seagrove, N.C. A memorial service was conducted on March 23, 2011, at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Sherrills Ford, 

N.C., by the Rev. Grady Barringer and the Rev. Joseph Westfall. 

George Auman loved the United Methodist Church and the people who formed each and every congregation he served. His ministry and his 

passion for serving others continue to make a positive difference in our conference and around the globe.

RICHARD DOUGLAS BAILEY 

March 6, 1934 – October 10, 2010 

Richard Douglas Bailey was as an eternal optimist, a constant encourager, someone who believed in you, and a 

great storyteller. Many knew him as a friend, teacher, pastor, and specialist in Christian philanthropy. 

The last series of Sunday school lessons he taught to his beloved Wesley Men’s Fellowship Class (Providence United 

Methodist Church, Charlotte) were derived from “Joy is like the Rain” recordings of missionary E. Stanley Jones. He 

fi nished this series in August, just one week before his health began to decline. 

With a big smile, he taught his children and grandchildren through his actions and with his words about Christian living. 

Richard was born March 6, 1934, in New York City, the son of the late Mack Woodard Bailey and Mary Pigueron 

Bailey. He earned an A.B. at Asbury College, 1956; completed post-graduate studies at Temple University School of 

Theology, 1956-1958; and earned a Bachelor of Sacred Theology degree at Wesley Theological Seminary, 1960. 

He was accepted on trial in the Peninsula Conference; ordained deacon, 1957; full connection, elder, 1960. He served as pastor of the 

Farmington Circuit, Farmington, Del., 1956-1958; Harmony Grove, Md., 1958-1962; Vienna-Elliott, Md., 1962-1964; and Whatcoat Methodist 

Church, Camden, Del., 1964-1970. Over the next nine years, Richard was an associate council director for the Peninsula Conference in the 

areas of communications and stewardship. His duties included being assistant to Bishop James K. Mathews. In 1980, he established and 

became the director of the United Methodist Foundations of the Washington, D.C. area. In 1985, he became the fi rst executive director of 

the Western North Carolina United Methodist Foundation. After 1992, Richard became a charitable gift planning specialist and consultant in 

Christian philanthropy, working with various churches and charities around our country and the world. Organizations he worked with included: 

the Salvation Army, Lake Junaluska Assembly, Spartanburg Methodist College, Wesley Theological Seminary, Saint Paul School of Theology, 

Kentucky Conference United Methodist Foundation, Baptist Metrolina Ministries, Children’s Home in Columbia, S.C., Coronado UMC, United 

Methodist Higher Education Foundation and WTVI. He was a former president of the National Association of United Methodist Foundations,


authored “Estate Planning: A Workbook for Christians,” and was an executive producer of WTVI’s (public television) “How I Survived World War 

II.” He was a life-long Rotarian and Paul Harris Fellow. 

He was married to Ellen J. Moir of Webster, S.D., on Aug. 12, 1956, his loving wife of 54 years. He is survived by his wife, Ellen; son Mark 

Alan Bailey (Sept. 8, 1959) and wife, Kathy; daughter Kimberly Joy Bailey Cook (April 21, 1962) and husband, Raymond; and son Kent Douglas 

Bailey (July 7, 1967) and wife, Angie. His grandchildren are: Ryan Bailey, Scott Bailey, Megan Cook, Joshua Cook, Zachery Bailey, Nicholas 

Bailey, Victoria Bailey, Alyssa Helms, and Kelsey Helms. He is also survived by brother Mack W. Bailey, step-siblings Robert Bailey, James 

Bailey, and Milly Jorgensen. 

After a year-long courageous battle with cancer he died on Oct. 10, 2010, in Asbury Care, Aldersgate United Methodist Retirement 

Community. A memorial service was held Oct. 10, 2010, at Providence United Methodist Church, Charlotte, N.C. 

He loved his family, loved to teach in the Wesley Men’s Fellowship Class, and touched countless lives in the name of Christ.

EDDIE LEE BLACK 

February 10, 1942 – March 17, 2011 

The Rev. Eddie Lee Black departed the church militant for the church triumphant on Thursday, March 17, 2011, after 

several years of declining health. 

The memorial service for the Rev. Black was held at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 19, 2011, at Midway UMC in Kannapolis. 

Internment followed in Carolina Memorial Park in Kannapolis. 

Eddie was born on Feb. 10, 1942, in Cabarrus County, N.C. He was the son of the late Zellie Lee Black and Inez 

Little Black of Kannapolis, N.C., the youngest of three children. 

He graduated from A.L. Brown High School in Kannapolis in 1960. He worked for a very short time at Cannon Mills 

and then returned to Winn-Dixie Food Stores, where he had worked part-time during high school. 

On March 8, 1964, he married Brenda Freeman Black. They were active in Midway United Methodist Church in Kannapolis as youth 

counselors, Sunday school teachers, and many other capacities. Several years later, Eddie felt God’s call for full-time ordained ministry. 

He was licensed to preach in 1969, became a deacon in 1976, and then an elder in full connection in 1978 in the Western NC Conference. 

At the age of 28, he enrolled in Pfeiffer College (now Pfeiffer University) and took on the responsibility of his fi rst student appointment at 

Boger’s Chapel for his fi rst two years at Pfeiffer. He then received a second student appointment at Matton’s Grove/Zion. He graduated from 

Pfeiffer in 1974, with a Bachelor of Arts degree and entered Emory University. He took a student appointment at Center Grove-St. Paul UMC 

while attending Emory. He then graduated with a Master of Divinity degree in 1977. Eddie’s fi rst full-time appointment was at Mt. Hermon 

UMC, 1977-1982, in Madison, N.C. While in Madison, he organized a Civitan Club. 

Eddie served Cramer Memorial UMC in Gastonia from 1982 to 1985 and Grace UMC in Kings Mountain from 1985 to 1987. From January 

1987 to 1989, he served Denver-Lebanon UMC and then served Denver as a station from 1989 to 1994. While at Denver, he battled asthma 

and other respiratory complications. His last appointment was at First UMC, Norwood, from 1994 to 2002. At that time Eddie suffered a 

stroke and went on incapacity leave from 2003 to 2007 when he retired. After retirement, Eddie continued to serve at Friendship UMC in the 

Albemarle District, however, with the condition of his health, he was unable to complete the appointment. Eddie fully retired Dec. 31, 2007. 

Eddie served with much dedication and love. He was always involved in the community and truly was a servant of God. He radiated God’s 

love throughout his ministry and touched many lives. He loved to laugh, which in part led him to his clown ministry during his later years. He 

was a humble man who was faithful to his calling throughout his earthly life. 

I was truly blessed to have Eddie as my mentor, and I am so thankful that God brought him into my life. He will surely be missed. Eddie was 

convinced that nothing could separate us from the love of God.

ZELLA MAE SPARKS CARPENTER 

November 21, 1941 – November 25, 2010 

She taught us what was most important in life through her tireless service to others. She prayed to the Lord, not for 

tranquility, nor that tribulation cease, but for God’s spirit and love. She asked that He grant us strength and grace to 

overcome adversity through Jesus Christ. 

Her life was rich with family and friends. She taught us to remember our best times and highest moments and live in 

them to give us joy and happiness. The last week she lived, she gave all she thought might be of benefi t to the needy. 

The Rev. Zella Carpenter, of 24 Acton Woods Road, Asheville, N.C., died peacefully at the John F. Keever Solace Center 

in Asheville on Nov. 25, 2010, in the presence of her family after a short battle with cancer. She was born Nov. 21, 1941, 

in Bakersville, N.C., the third of four daughters of Brown and Elsie Young Sparks. 

A service of death and resurrection celebrating and memorializing Zella’s life was conducted at 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 29, 2010, with the 

Rev. Dr. John Boggs and the Rev. Rick Mills offi ciating. Her eulogy was given by Cliff Carpenter, her son. 

She was married for 45 years to Ray Carpenter of Robbinsville, Graham County, N.C. Her only child, Lieutenant Colonel Clifton Browning 

Carpenter, USMC, and his wife, Major Charlotte Jane Holden Carpenter, USMC, reside with their two daughters, Aiden and Autumn in 

Swansboro, N.C. Her sister, Rouselle Mears, lives with her husband, George, in Knoxville, Tenn., and her sister, Lou Ellen Metcalf, lives with her 

husband, Ed, in Bakersville, N.C. She was preceded in death by her parents and older sister, Norma Jean Summers. 

Zella’s formal education started at Bowman High School, Bakersville, where she graduated with honors May 25, 1959. Her leadership in the 

Bowman High School Debate Team gave her widespread recognition and a skill to quickly analyze both sides of an issue. This skill served her 

well in academia and ministry. 

She attended High Point College in 1960, with study emphasis on the Old and New Testaments. She made the dean’s list. She earned a 

Bachelor of Arts degree from Western Carolina University in 1962 with honors. In 1963, she was awarded a Master of Science degree 

in clothing, textiles, and design from University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Zella completed and received a certifi cate for a Post 

Baccalaureate Study for the fall semester 1990, spring semester 1991, fall semester 1991, and the spring semester 1992 for Hebrew I, II, III, 

and IV at N.C. State University, Raleigh. She entered Duke University Divinity School in 1993, and was awarded a Master of Divinity in 1995. 

The Rev. Carpenter served in the North Carolina Conference for seven years and the Western NC Conference for 10 years. Her pastorates 

included Chocowinity UMC, Chocowinity; Brooks Frizzelle UMC, Maury; Mt. Herman UMC, Lizzie; Lucama UMC, Lucama; and Black Creek UMC, 

Black Creek; in the North Carolina Conference; and Hickory: Fairgrove UMC, 2000-2005; Hickory: First, Associate UMC, 2005-2007, Hickory; 

Bethel UMC-St. John’s UMC, 2007-2009; and Asheville: Acton UMC, 2009-2011; in the Western NC Conference. 

Zella spent her early years growing up in Oak Grove Methodist Church, Snow Hill, in Mitchell County. Early in the life of this church, it served 

as a combination church, alternating every Sunday between the Methodist and Baptist services. 

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing, There is a Balm in Gilead, It Is Well With My Soul, Trust and Obey, This Is My Song, O God of Every 

Nation, and Let There Be Peace on Earth were a few of her favorite hymns, which she sang with her Grandmother Young, when she was a 

youngster going to church there. 

Her deep love for the Lord and her profound appreciation for His Church led her to begin teaching small groups in the Methodist Church and 

eventually to follow her calling to become a pastor in The United Methodist Church. She possessed a servant’s heart that was demonstrated 

through years of devoted and conscientious self-giving. Her energetic and compassionate way of loving and working with people will remain an 

inspiration to all those who knew and worked with her. 

Her ministry greatly infl uenced young men and women who now serve The United Methodist Church as educators and ministers. Zella’s 

ministry designation of elder by the North Carolina Conference in June 1997 was a great honor and privilege to her. She was always eager 

and willing to serve beyond the local churches in which she worked. She worked throughout her years in ministry on a variety of district and 

conference committees and boards. 

Zella was an intelligent and compassionate person. She is present with us today in many fond memories. She encountered God in all His 

creation: in the fl owers she grew, especially the roses, ginger lilies, poppies, monarda, and delphinine. She experienced Him in her walks on 

the beach, her visits to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, in religious art, in classical music, in paintings, in sculptures, and in literature. 

Her favorite lines in all secular literature were: “What thought the radiance which was once so bright, be now for ever taken from my sight, 

though nothing can bring back the hour, of splendor in the grass, of glory in the fl ower; we will grieve not, rather fi nd, strength in what remains 

behind.” These lines are from William Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.” She viewed death 

as part of life and taught us to fi nd strength in what remains after death. She whispered to me to read these lines and many of her favorite 

verses from both Testaments shortly before her death. 

She liked rainbows, sunrises, sunsets, and the mighty power of God displayed by storms. She especially liked to go camping with her son 

and sleep under the stars, walk on fallen trees across streams, make crepes, and squeeze her own orange juice. She enjoyed sewing and 

made many of her own clothes and the robes she wore in her ministry. 

Her favorite Christian painting was “Saint Bride” painted by the Scottish painter John Duncan in 1913. The original of this painting hangs 

in the National Gallery of Scotland, Glasgow, Scotland. According to the legend of the Irish, Saint Bride was transported miraculously to 

Bethlehem to attend the nativity of Christ. In the painting, two angels carry the white-robed Saint Bride across the sea. Scenes from the birth 

of Christ decorate the angel’s robes, and may include the artist’s self-portrait as the tiny clown, a boy fool, accompanying the procession of the 

magi on the leading angel’s gown. After several minutes of standing there in front of the painting, when we were in the museum, Zella turned 

to me, and with tears in her eyes, quietly said, “The story of Jesus on Saint Bride’s robe reminds me of the ‘Cloud of Witnesses’ we follow. We 

rely on the truth of the Holy Scripture, on Jesus Christ who is the Word and our salvation, and on the testimony written in the lives of those 

Christians who have chosen to follow the life Christ lived before us.” 

Zella Carpenter left us with an example of a life lived in love and service for Christ. Her thoughts and vibrant witness remain to inspire 

us and call us to live beyond ourselves as we “love the Lord, our God with all our hearts, with all our minds, with all our soul and to love our 

neighbors as ourselves.” 

May God hold you like the lovely and fragile Luna Moth and carry you to safety, away and out into a new growing space – not too loosely lest 

you escape into a greater threat – not so tightly that you panic and self-destruct – but gently, securely, and surely that you feel cradled like a 

baby still fl oating under her mother’s heart, a blessing for one well loved.

HARLAND LONGSTREET CREECH III 

May 16, 1932 – July 15, 2010 

On June 9, 1961, moments before Bishop Nolan B. Harmon ordained that year’s Western North Carolina Conference 

class of elders, the 41 men and women to be ordained heard these words read from the ordination ritual: “Have always 

… in your remembrance how great a treasure is committed to your charge. For they unto whom you are to minister are 

the sheep of Christ, for whom he gave His life.” 

Harlan Longstreet Creech III was ordained that night, and for all his ministry he exemplifi ed the care for Christ’s 

people which he had been ordained to perform. 

This was not a foreign idea to Harlan, and he was well-prepared to bring the words to life in his own ministry. Indeed, 

all of his life to that point had been lived within the context of Christian ministry. His father was a distinguished 

clergyman. He was educated in church-related institutions. And by 1961, he had served for eight years as a pastor. 

His parents, the Rev. Dr. Harlan L. Creech Jr. and Rebecca Capps Creech, were serving in Hickory, N.C., when Harlan III was born there 

on May, 16, 1932. He did his undergraduate study at Lenoir-Rhyne College, from which he earned the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1954. His 

master of divinity degree was conferred by Duke University in 1961. 

Harlan served as an active minister in the Western North Carolina Conference for 46 years. He was licensed to preach in 1951; admitted to 

the conference on trial in 1954; ordained deacon in 1955; and admitted in full connection and ordained elder, as previously noted, in 1961. 

His pastorates included Moravian Falls, 1953-55; Wesley Chapel, 1955-1959; Rock Grove, 1959-1961; Wingate, 1961-1965; Cullowhee, 

1965-1966; Fletcher, 1966-1971; Charlotte: St. John’s, 1971-1973; Greensboro: Grace Associate, 1973-1974; Banner Elk Charge, 1974-1977; 

Shady Grove (Thomasville District), 1977-1982; Providence (Salisbury District), 1982-84; Salisbury: First Associate, 1984-1989; Advance-Mocks, 

1989-1992; and Mooresville: Broad Street, 1992-1997. He was granted the retired relationship at the 1997 conference and moved back to 

Salisbury, where he would be a faithful member of the church family at First United Methodist Church. 

To the great treasure committed to him as pastor, Harlan brought a ministry of devotion to all of Christ’s sheep. He was effective in the 

wide range of duties which church and community require of a pastor. But he is remembered most gratefully as a bringer of pastoral care and 

compassion, especially in the daily ministry of visitation which he saw as his special calling. One could scarcely begin to count the heartfelt 

prayers he lifted to God on behalf of those in need of God’s presence and help. 

He demonstrated a sound and steady faith throughout his years. He lived the words of faith which he proclaimed from the pulpit. His 

demeanor was calm and quiet, but those around him sensed a depth of faith that was trusting and true. He was a man of humility, gentleness, 

and kindness, and he valued every human being and all of God’s creatures. He looked for the good in all with whom he came in contact. 

Harlan also appreciated and loved music, and he even created some original compositions. He enjoyed singing with various groups 

throughout his life, including the Duke University Men’s Glee Club, the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte, the Appalachian State University Chorale, 

and the Chancel Choir of First Church, Salisbury. As a loyal member of the Salisbury Kiwanis Club, he played the piano each week, until 

illness prevented his attending for the few weeks before his death. Among his other interests was art, and he created both oil and watercolor 

paintings. He found pleasure in the beauty of the earth and its creatures: fl owers, birds, squirrels, rabbits, gardening, camping, hiking, fi shing 

and, especially, the mountains. It was in quiet moments, enveloped in God’s world, that he communed with his Maker. 

Harlan always faced the joys and trials of life with a resilience and strength beyond his own, with a profound sense of trust in his Heavenly 

Father. Even through his last two years, and particularly his fi nal weeks, when the more “healthy and whole” life he had known ceased for him, 

he kept the faith and remained grateful to his Lord for the blessings that were his. Among those blessings dearest to him were his faith, his 

family, and his church family at First Church. On the afternoon of July 5, 2010, the last time he was able to be out, he wanted to ride by his 

church. It was like coming by home for him, and so it was. Indeed, he had never been apart from his home in the church through his entire life. 

Harlan died on July 15, 2010, at Rowan Regional Medical Center, Salisbury, after two years of declining health and a sudden illness of three 

weeks. A service celebrating his life was held on July 17 at First United Methodist Church, Salisbury, with Stephen D. Haines, senior pastor, 

offi ciating, and with music by the Chancel Choir of the church. 

Harlan is survived by his wife, the former Jane Cornelius, whom he married on Aug. 21, 1974; their son, Joseph Wesley Creech (born on 

Sept. 6, 1979), and his wife, Nikki, of Arlington, Va.; Harlan’s daughter, Carol Winchester, and her husband, Charles, of Waxhaw, N.C.; his 

grandchildren, Matalyn Creech, of Arlington, and Christopher, Chad, and Brooke Winchester, of Charlotte, N.C.; and his brothers, David and Tim 

Creech, of Charlotte. 

For Harlan’s days, the words found in II Timothy 4:7 resound: “I have fought the good fi ght, I have fi nished the race, I have kept the faith.” 

Thanks be to God for this faithful keeper of the treasure committed to his charge!

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DAVIS 

August 14, 1933 – April 27, 2011 

The Rev. Benjamin “Ben” Franklin Davis was born on Aug. 14, 1933, in Cleveland County, N.C., to Forrest Andrew 

Davis and Nettie Erma Morrison Davis. Raised on the banks of Cleveland Mills and Power Company, Ben grew up 

learning about hydroelectricity from his father, and he enjoyed spending time on the water. He was an Eagle Scout 

and had multiple interests in life which led him to N.C. State University, where he entered the engineering program. 

While at N.C State, he played basketball under the legendary coach Vic Bubas. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree 

from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, an Associate in Arts degree from Charlotte College and a Master

beginning in 1969 and continued to serve faithfully until retirement, in 1995. 

Ben’s career took him on many journeys, which began when he returned to Cleveland County in 1969. He joined Dr. Richard Maybin’s 

medical practice in Lawndale where he was a counselor. He was a counselor for many years with Shelby Mental Health Associates, helped 

establish Cleveland Vocational Industries, and served as the chairperson for Broughton Hospital’s Human Rights Committee. He also worked

314 


for many years at Gardner-Webb University, where he was the director of counseling services and adjunct professor in the School of Psychology 

and Counseling. 

He was a member of the Boiling Springs Rotary and served as president from 1991-1992. He received the certifi cate of lifetime membership 

from Lawndale Masonic Lodge No. 486 and previously received the veteran’s emblem in recognition of 50 years as a master mason. He was a 

longtime member and was honored to serve as chaplain of the Oasis Shrine Temple in Charlotte and South Mountain Shrine Club. At the time 

of his death, Ben was serving as commander of Lawndale American Legion Post 302. 

Ben attended First United Methodist Church in Lawndale, where he enjoyed teaching Sunday school and singing in the church choir. He was 

an avid hiker of the Appalachian Trail, and he was instrumental in organizing and leading many hikes from Georgia to Maine. He also greatly 

enjoyed sailing and rooting for the Duke Blue Devils. 

Ben died on April 27, 2011, in Lawndale, N.C., at the age of 77. He is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Patsy Bridges Davis. 

His life was a celebration of selfl ess and tireless humanitarian efforts to people of all walks of life. Through his counseling, teaching, and 

volunteer work, he was an inspiration to those who knew him.

OREN REX EDMONDS, SR. 

February 25, 1930 – September 23, 2010 

Oren Rex Edmonds Sr. was born on Feb. 25, 1930, in Charlotte, N.C., to James and Edna Deaton Edmonds. He 

served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, 1951-1955. A graduate of Furman University with an A.B. degree in 

1958, he earned his Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Seminary in 1961. 

In 1965, Oren came into the Western North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church on trial and was ordained 

deacon. He was ordained elder and received in full connection in 1968. 

Throughout his ministry, Oren gave himself for the advancement of God’s kingdom through the following 

appointments: Asheville: Piney Mountain-Pisgah, 1964-1966; Asheville: Piney Mountain, Davis Chapel, Pisgah, 

1966-1968; Winston-Salem: Clemmons-Harmony Grove, 1968-1972; Winston-Salem: Clemmons, 1972-1973; 

Salisbury: Bethel, 1973-1977; 

Charlotte: Thrift, 1977-1981; Statesville: Vanderburg, 1981-1986; Charlotte: Harrison, 1986-1990; Greensboro: Moriah, 1990-1992; and 

Charlotte: St. Luke, 1992-1995. In 1995, Oren took the retired relationship. While in retirement, he served the following congregations: Statesville: 

Catawba; Statesville: Monticello-Midway; Statesville: Bethlehem; Statesville: Broad Street Associate 2002–2004; Statesville: Shiloh-Wesley 

Chapel; and, Statesville: Vanderburg. Retirement led him to begin a ministry called Grandpa Says! on radio station WAME in Statesville. 

Oren was a dedicated family man. On Oct. 4, 1952, he married Margaret Laquita Payne. This union resulted in fi ve children. Their fi rst born, 

Donna Kay Edmonds, was born on April 22, 1954. Donna died of cancer on Feb. 24, 1967. It was during this period, that Oren developed into 

a giant of a man and minister. His character became strong in passion and dedication. He was empowered in his faith as he took the pulpit 

to lead the celebration of thanking God for Donna’s life of love. Oren never forgot the grace poured out upon the Edmonds family through this 

experience of knowing that God had never forsaken them, no matter what events in life came their way - even the hour of death. He lived and 

witnessed the message of the resurrection for the rest of his life, always bringing glory to God! 

Oren and Laquita have proudly raised two boys and two girls: Oren Rex Edmonds Jr. (wife, Angela) was born on Feb. 16, 1957; David Richard 

Edmonds (wife, Kay) was born on May 10, 1958; Mary Edna Helms (husband, John) was born on Jan. 3, 1960; and Laquita Ann Sechler 

(husband, Gene) was born on Feb. 28, 1962. With all their love, Oren and Laquita welcomed six grandchildren into the family. 

The Brotherhood/Sisterhood statement on call #910 in regard to Oren’s physical death summed up the ministry of Oren. It was written, 

“Oren was a basic message of love and acceptance, and was fervent in his dedication to God’s Word.” Here was a Christian who literally 

proclaimed with the Psalmist, “I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psalm 119:11). His life was played out 

by knowing that the Word of God was the Bible. To him, the whole of Scripture was the infallible Word of God. He lived Christ and he preached 

Jesus as truly being the only way to salvation. 

This was explicated in even the little things that he did. There were times that he would leave the comfort of the local church and go into the 

community to share this gospel. Many times he would go into an eating place or some other local gathering place wearing his minister’s collar. 

This was a natural conversation starter so that he could present Jesus Christ as Lord. His concern and love for those outside the church was 

obvious. 

Other times, his life led to assurance in the presence of his Lord. An act of grace occurred one time when he was driving us over Old Fort 

Mountain. At the top on the mountain, he stopped for prayer. As I recall that prayer of many years ago, it was one of thanksgiving and praise 

which was offered from a man of devotion. 

One of many things that made Oren stand tall was his keen sense of keeping Jesus’ words, “Judge not, that you be not judged” 

(Matthew 7:1). Oren was a person who accepted persons like they were. He may not have agreed with them but he would never turn someone 

away who needed and wanted his help. He would do all he could to help someone solve a problem, pat them on the back, encourage them any 

way possible, and if needed show them the way to repent. 

On Sept. 26, 2010, a service of celebration for Oren’s life was held at Broad Street United Methodist Church, Statesville, N.C., under the 

leadership of the Rev. Jason Harvey. Mr. Charlie Crabtree sang a solo written by Jim Cowan. The song, “When It’s All Been Said And Done,” 

captures the philosophy of Oren’s Christian life: 

When it’s all been said and done 

There is just one thing that matters 

Did I do my best to live for truth? 

Did I live my life for You? 

Lord I’ll live my life for You. 

Oren died in his home in Statesville. His entombment is in Forest Lawn West Cemetery Mausoleum in Charlotte, N.C.. He now lives again in 

God’s house with many rooms which Christ has prepared for Oren Rex Edmonds Sr. (See John 14:1-11)

ROBERT BENJAMIN FORWARD 

February 13, 1935 – October 10, 2010 

Bob Forward: generous, trustworthy, friend to me, my family, all the families of his appointments. We met each other 

in adjoining parishes in Union County a long time ago. He, Nancy, and Shelly accompanied our family all over our 

conference. All who read this know how that goes. We move from one pillar to another post and in that living and dying 

to glean grace and distribute it among our congregations and to discover in transit that bounty that comes with our calling. 

Bob was known through his sense of humor, his love of God, love of golf, Duke basketball, and the Forward family 

legend. The family came from New England via Duke Divinity School. Bob’s father was known for his longevity, based 

on hope that he would one day have a grandson and that the Red Sox would win the World Series before he died; 

neither of which were likely anytime soon or ever. But lo, the Sox did win and soon there arrived a grandson, but not 

before his father was 102 years of age! Forwards were ones not only of humor and hopes, but longevity as well. When Nancy called with news of 

Bob’s cancer, I recalled the family legend and Bob’s relative youth. Indeed a visit to the hospital that day was the usual exercise of jollity and 

relieving good humor. 

Bob was a good and noble man as well. He dearly loved Shelly, who shared his love of Duke basketball, sports; and Nancy, who loyally 

accompanied him all through the years. For we who had been denied the high privilege of being Duke alumni, he was generous and forgiving 

to a fault. He tolerated us “lesser breeds without the Law.” (Kipling’s reference to those unfortunates who could not share the glory that was 

England!) He mined the lore of the gospel from Duke publications that fell like a morning dew from his pulpits. 

We will miss our friend as time proceeds. I am certain that in the angelic realms of the transcendent, there are “foursomes” who will receive 

their own with mutual joy that began to fl ower in New England and Durham and blossomed among the congregations of the Western North 

Carolina Conference. It will be hard on our friend if the Kingdom does not provide such amenities. 

Make way, old friend, we are not far behind! 

J. Kent Outlaw Jr. 

Robert Forward received his A.B. degree from Boston University in 1956 and his B.D. degree in 1959 from Duke University. He was admitted 

to the Western North Carolina Conference in 1959; was ordained a deacon in 1959; and ordained an elder in 1961. The Rev. Forward served 

the following churches: High Shoals-Iron Station, 1959-1961; Bakersville, 1961-1964; Blair Road, 1964-1965; Waxhaw, 1965-1967; Todd, 

1988-1990; Mt. Pleasant-Tabernacle, 1990-1994; Cid, 1994-95; Northbrook, 1995-1999; Porter-Randall, 1999-2003; Retired, 2003; Retired 

and Midland: Mill Grove, 2010. 

ROBERT ALLEN FOSTER 

April 21, 1928 – May 18, 2010 

Robert Allen (Bob) Foster died from melanoma cancer on May 18, 2010, in Winston-Salem, N.C., after a full and 

rewarding life of compassionate Christian service to others. He has now come face-to-face with the Lord he has talked 

with every day and knows so well. He was born on April 21, 1928, in Valparaiso, Ind., the son of Henry Starr and 

Dorothy Trahan Foster. In 1953, Bob married Ruth English Sevier of Asheville, N.C. They met on a blind date via the 

Wesley Foundation, when he was a student pastor in Greensboro and she was a senior at WCUNC (currently called 

UNC Greensboro). 

Upon graduating from Central High School in Charlotte, N.C., in 1946, Bob received a football scholarship to attend 

the Johns Hopkins University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1950. He earned a Master of Divinity 

degree at Duke University in 1953, where he enjoyed coaching the Divinity School football team. 

In 1951, Bob was accepted into the Western NC Conference, ordained deacon in 1952 and elder in 1953 and served the following 

churches: 

1951-1954, St. Andrews; Vickrey and Burnett’s Chapel (Guilford Circuit), 1955-1958; Mt. Mitchell (Kannapolis), active duty as a chaplain in 

the U.S. Army, 1958-1963, including a three-year tour in Augsburg, Germany; 1964-1967, Trinity (Winston-Salem); and 1967-1968, Skyland 

(Asheville); 1988-1990, Uniting Church of Australia. He continued his service in U.S. Army Reserve units in North Carolina for 25 more years, 

with six years as a colonel, retiring in 1988. Bob was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in 1979. 

By continuing his education as a pastoral psychotherapist at Columbia Presbyterian Seminary in Atlanta, with CPE (clinical training) from 

the Georgia Mental Health Institute, Bob prepared himself for the position of area director of adult services and clinical pastoral counselor for 

18 years, 1970-1988, with the four-county Foothills Area Mental Health Program, where he received special recognition in Mental Retardation 

and Substance Abuse Programs. Bob also established a pastoral counseling and training center in Morganton, N.C. During 1975-1984, Bob 

received formal training at Gestalt Therapy Training Center, San Diego, Calif. From 1977-1984, he had a limited private practice of pastoral 

psychotherapy. He led many workshops and taught classes in all the places where he served throughout his life. 

Upon retiring from mental health, Queensland, Australia, was the site of Bob’s ministry for two years. He served the Uniting Church of 

Australia on a pastoral team for fi ve churches, where Bob and Ruthie made many friends, hiked in the rainforests on days off, snorkeled within 

the Great Barrier Reef, and produced several special presentations for the congregations. 

The Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge honored Bob in 1966 for “outstanding achievement in bringing about a better understanding of 

the American way of life.” North Carolina presented the “Order of the Long Leaf Pine,” the state’s highest award, to Bob Foster in 1988. His 

venture into politics was his election to the Lenoir, N.C., school board in 1972. 

Bob is the author of Why All the Fuss About Theology?, published in 2007, a book “for those who stand at the edge of faith with inquiring 

minds and who relish discoveries in the journey of faith.” 

The years at Johns Hopkins were often recalled in Bob’s stories, and he returned there in 2008 for the homecoming halftime introduction of 

the football team of 1948, the fi rst Hopkins team to win a conference championship. 

Getting together with their children/grandchildren and friends, traveling, hiking, photography, beach time, sports, history, and writing were 

some of the activities Bob and Ruthie enjoyed together, especially after Bob totally retired in 1990. In 2003, Bob and Ruthie moved to Arbor 

Acres United Methodist Retirement Community, in Winston-Salem, N.C., where Bob enjoyed teaching, facilitating classes, participating in many 

fi tness and other activities such as the Sharps and Flats, the Men’s Club, and a small men’s discussion group – all while writing his book!

316 


Bob is survived by Ruthie, his devoted wife of 56½ years; four beloved daughters: Janice (Don) Leach of Los Lunas, N.M.; Robin (Robert) 

Carroll of Herndon, Va.; Dottie (Eddie) Crowe of Stanley, N.C.; and Susan (Charlie) Smith of Blacksburg, Va.; seven grandchildren and three 

great-grandchildren; a brother, Richard Foster of Ft. Smith, Ark.; four brothers/sisters-in-law, Joseph (Kay) Sevier, Caroline Sevier, Montraville 

(Jimmie) Sevier and Robert (Pat) Sevier. A celebration of life service was held at Arbor Acres, and at Bob’s request his ashes were scattered at 

a private ceremony. 

I hope you have a “good” cry when I am gone! 

Not because I was great or successful; but because I was not! 

Cry because you appreciated an ordinary guy 

Who tried to be more than an ordinary guy. 

I will cry for you from wherever God resides, 

Because I miss you and await your coming, 

Then, joy and laughter will replace crying. 

We will be known to each other, better than ever known. By Bob Foster, 2010

GROVER TONY GRIFFIN 

December 4, 1949 – November 19, 2010 

The Rev. Grover “Tony” Griffi n was born in Mt. Airy, N.C., on Dec. 4, 1949, to Grover Tobe Griffi n and Mary Lois Griffi n. 

He graduated Appalachian State University in 1970 and completed Duke University’s Course of Study in July 2006. 

Tony began his ministry in 2000 serving as a lay speaker for Salem United Methodist and Epworth Methodist 

churches. 

In January 2001, he served Mt. Herman and Hatcher’s Chapel, both of Surry County. In 2003, Tony was appointed to 

Hickory Ridge in Winston-Salem where he served for the following four years. He was appointed to the Newdale Charge 

in 2007 and served as the pastor for Windom, Celo, and Martin’s Chapel United Methodist Churches. 

Tony is survived by his wife, Frances Fox Griffi n of Burnsville; daughter and son-in-law Emily and David McPeak and 

his grandson, Carter Griffi n McPeak, of Mt. Airy; sister and brother-in-law Teresa and Dean Marion of Mount Airy; and brother and sister-in-law 

Douglas and Pat Griffi n of Asheboro. 

Tony died on Nov. 19, 2010, in his home. Services were held at Epworth United Methodist Church, with burial in the family plot at Epworth. 

Tony was a sportsman, enjoying all kinds of outdoor activities including hunting, fi shing, and golfi ng. His passion had always been hunting 

and fi shing, and both of those activities brought him great joy throughout the years of his life. 

Tony showed a passionate love for his family, friends, and church members he served. Those who knew him will best remember his cheerful 

nature and feeling a little better after spending time with him. A conversation with him always involved a sincere smile and laughter. Even a 

battle with cancer during the last year of his life didn’t change his cheerful nature. 

Throughout his sickness, he showed courage and grace that was respected by all that knew him. His faith and love for God was a true 

testimony for others. He was an extraordinary man, father, and pastor who will be remembered by those he touched throughout his life and his 

legacy continues through his family and churches.

FRED ADAM HILL 

February 1, 1926 – September 19, 2010 

Fred Adam Hill, son of James Robie Hill and Jennie Belle Trexler Hill, was born on Feb. 1, 1926, in Rowan County, 

N.C., and was the last of seven children. He received his education from the Rowan County Schools before joining the 

Navy in 1944. He later earned an Associate of Arts degree at Pfeiffer University in 1948, followed by an A.B. degree 

at Catawba College in 1950. He was licensed to serve in the ministry in 1951. From there, he proceeded to earn his 

Master of Divinity degree at Duke University in 1953. That same year, he became a deacon and was admitted to the 

Western North Carolina Conference on Sept. 27, 1953. He went on to become an elder in 1955. 

Fred’s ministry with the Western North Carolina Conference began with his fi rst appointment at Providence and 

Bethel United Methodist churches in Salisbury in 1953. In 1956, he took the six-point Belwood charge near Shelby 

including: Kadesh, Knob Creek, St. Peter’s, David’s Chapel, Hebron and Laurel Hill. In 1961, he became pastor of Bethlehem United Methodist 

in Monroe. In 1966, he served at Bethpage United Methodist in Kannapolis. In 1970, he was located in Ellenboro at the Oak Grove-Salem 

Charge. He then moved to Charlotte in 1975 to the Moore’s Chapel-Steeleberry Charge. Then in 1981, he served at Crews United Methodist 

in Winston-Salem. 1985 found Fred at Race Street United Methodist in Statesville. In 1990, Fred served at his last full appointment at 

Indian Trail United Methodist in Indian Trail. In 1992, Fred retired from the ministry, but not for long. He immediately took on a retired supply 

ministry at Yadkin United Methodist in Spencer, where he served until his second retirement in 1999. Along the way, he served actively on the 

conference committee working with town and country churches and was very involved in helping out with the Boy Scouts. 

Even after his retirement, Fred found many ways to serve the Lord while attending Liberty United Methodist in Salisbury. He served with 

Meals on Wheels, fi lled in for other pastors when they needed time off, spoke at senior citizens’ luncheons, and sang with a quartet at many 

nursing homes and churches in the area. Liberty was considered by Fred to be his “home church,” and he enjoyed attending there with many 

family members and people from the community he had known since his childhood. Fred had cancer in his fi nal years, and was comforted 

to be in this church and community with these folks. The funeral and interment were both at Liberty United Methodist Church on September 

21, 2010, with the Rev. Brad Cunningham, the Rev. Sally Langford, Salisbury District superintendent, and the Rev. Dr. Jeff Pinkston offi ciating. 

Military and Masonic graveside rites were conducted at the burial. 

Fred Adam Hill was joined in marriage with Anna Marie Morgan Hill on Sept. 12, 1953. Together, they had fi ve children: Ann Elizabeth Hill 

Rome, born on Oct. 25, 1955; David Fred Hill, born on Aug. 30, 1957; Miriam Leigh Hill Pinkston, born on March 8, 1960; Carol Lucy Hill


Thomas, born on June 18, 1962; and Beverly Joy Hill Fulp, born on Aug. 29, 1964. His family has since multiplied and fl ourished with 14 

grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. 

Fred was well-known for his sense of humor and his way of making people laugh and feel at ease. He could go thousands of miles from 

home and still fi nd someone he knew or someone who had something in common with him that they could talk about for hours. Fred was not 

afraid of hard work, having grown up on a cotton farm and having worked many jobs in mills or peddling vegetables or driving school buses, 

and he carried on his love of hard, physical work by growing a garden large enough to feed the entire community. He could also walk circles 

around anybody, keeping himself in shape for years playing tennis and walking miles at his home or on the treadmill at the YMCA. He was 

always busy and always making new friends and telling people about the Lord along the way. Fred loved the Lord, his family, his church family 

and all people. He began every day with “This is the day that the Lord hath made” and very fi ttingly ended every single journal entry with “God 

is good. Amen.”

LEE ROY HUNT 

March 28, 1928 – October 20, 2010 

Pastor Lee Roy Hunt, a native of Asheboro, N.C., grew up in the Tabernacle United Methodist Church where he began 

his fi rst membership. Prior to and while serving in the ministry, he was a general contractor, building family homes 

throughout the area. He was born March 28, 1928, the son of Clifford Lee Hunt and Eliza Jane Gallimore, the oldest of 

10 children. On Feb. 12, 1949, he married Daphene Leonard, and the Lord graciously blessed them with three loving 

daughters, Wanda Daphene Hunt, born April 8, 1950, Sharon Leigh Bennett, born Jan. 25, 1954, and Tracy Geneane 

Martin, born Nov. 18, 1965. Their lives were fi lled with three sons-in-law, David Hunt, Ronald Bennett and Eric Martin, 

and three grandchildren, Shannon and husband John Clarkin, Erica Martin (deceased) and Zachery Martin. 

Lee Roy was licensed to preach in the Methodist Church in 1958. He graduated from Duke Divinity School, and during 

his appointments, he became a deacon on June 7, 1962, and an elder on June 5, 1964. He was appointed to Chandler’s Grove Methodist 

Church for his fi rst four years of service. He then spent two years at Mount Zion Methodist Church. Next, he moved to the Randleman Circuit 

where he served two years. In 1966, he was appointed to the Grace-New Union Charge, where he then retired after 29 years of service, which 

I’ve been told is a record time of service to a single charge in the High Point District of the Western North Carolina Conference. 

After retiring from The United Methodist Church, he continued his ministry by indulging in his lifelong dream of a charity church, New Zion 

Church, which eventually became Hunts Plank Road Chapel. He volunteered his services there for 13 years. With his leadership and approximately 

125 members, this church supported Hospice, Relay for Life, Jim’s Kids and many other local organizations, along with numerous individuals 

who were in need. This little country church gave support of over $1,000,000 back into the community. 

Pastor Lee Roy Hunt went to be with the Lord on Oct. 20, 2010, and was buried at Tabernacle United Methodist Church, where his 

membership had always remained and where he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Lee Roy was a loving husband to his wife, 

Daphene, for 61 years and a devoted father and grandfather. He loved the Lord with all his heart and shared that love with everyone he met. 

His ability to motivate other people to grow in Christ and to move to the next level in their ministry was a strong part of his own ministry. His 

love and dedication to the Lord sowed many seeds and one of these seeds led me to the Lord personally.

EUGENE CLARK JOHNSTON JR. 

January 7, 1927 – February 15, 2011 

The Rev. Eugene (Gene) Clark Johnston, Jr., was born in Asheville, N.C., on Jan. 7, 1927, to Eugene Clark Johnston, 

Sr., and Della Faye McCrary. He was raised in Asheville, ultimately graduating from Lee Edwards High School, now 

Asheville High School. 

1955 was a big year for the Rev. Johnston. While serving the Quechan Indian Tribe at the United Methodist Mission 

in Yuma, Ariz., he met his future wife, Beverly Reickhoff, who was also working in the mission fi eld. It was also in 1955 

that Gene was licensed to preach in the Virginia Conference and was assigned to West Matthews United Methodist 

Church, where he served until 1960. 

In 1960, he transferred to the Iowa Conference and was assigned the Fairbank-Oran Charge, serving those 

congregations until 1962. While serving these churches, the Rev. Johnston graduated from Wartburg College with an A.B. in economics in 

1961. Upon completion of his undergraduate degree, he pursued graduate and formal ministerial training through Duke Divinity School at 

Duke University. He remained in the Iowa Conference until 1965, serving Sandridge United Methodist Church, 1962-1964, and the Calmar- 

Waucoma Charge, 1964-1965. 

In 1965, the Rev. Johnston and his family returned to western North Carolina. For the next 20 years, he would serve seven churches in 

the Western North Carolina Conference, specifi cally in the Asheville District and the High Point District. Between 1965 and 1968, the Rev. 

Johnston served the congregations of the Azalea-Tabernacle Charge. In 1968, he was appointed minister of East Flat Rock United Methodist 

Church, as well as Dana United Methodist Church and Upward United Methodist Church. For the next 11 years, he would faithfully serve not 

only the parishioners of these churches, but also the people within these communities. His daughter, Janice, and his son, William, graduated 

from East Henderson High School during his time at East Flat Rock. In 1979, the Rev. Johnston and his family moved to Ramseur and the 

High Point District to serve Jordan Memorial United Methodist Church. Over the course of the next three years, The Rev. and Mrs. Johnston 

would serve faithfully this community. Their youngest son, John, graduated from Eastern Randolph High School during their time in Ramseur. 

In 1982, the Rev. and Mrs. Johnston returned to Asheville for one fi nal appointment, to serve Bethesda United Methodist Church until 1985, 

when he took disability leave and then ultimately retired in 1989. 

Gene enjoyed his time as a minister and loved people. He enjoyed meeting new people, talking with them, learning about their lives, and 

building lasting friendships. He recognized that the love that is found through true friendships and family are essential in a Christian life. 

Gene was very active in starting Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry. He strongly believed in community, especially his Asheville 

community, and the need to help others.

318 


The Rev. and Mrs. Johnston remained in Asheville, attending Groce United Methodist Church and later Skyland United Methodist Church. 

Gene loved the sun and enjoyed spending time growing tomatoes. He also spent time working with friends at the Western North Carolina 

Farmer’s Market and would occasionally fi ll in for ministers, as requested, throughout the Asheville District. Throughout his life, he was an avid 

Notre Dame football and Duke basketball fan. More than anything, he was a devoted family man. In addition to spending time with his children, 

he loved to spend time with his three grandsons, Joe Johnson, Christopher and Jonathan Johnston. 

The Rev. Johnston fervently believed that we all have a part to play and that we can all make that lasting difference in the lives of people 

around us – we need only to go straight ahead.

DEE BEE MOORE MARTIN 

April 27, 1925 – July 21, 2010 

Dee Bee Moore Martin received his fi nal appointment July 21, 2010, whereupon he was granted honorable location 

in the best appointment ever: heaven. I feel confi dent he heard those words he longed to hear: “Well done, good and 

faithful servant.” He is survived by his wife, Jo, two sons Philip (Emily) and Stephen (Shirley), stepdaughter Toie Blake 

(Perry), two grandchildren, fi ve great-grandchildren and fi ve great-great-grandchildren, brother Charles Martin (Louise) 

and sister Elizabeth Wilson (A.J.). 

He was born in Stuart, Va., to George Washington Martin and Sarah Alice Moore Sechrist, and as a youngster he 

migrated from the apple orchards of Stuart to the railroad of Mayodan, N.C. He grew up in Mayodan Methodist Church, 

receiving his foundation of faith from a strong Wesleyan tradition and a very active, engaging, and dedicated Methodist 

family. In September 1944, he married the former Laura Frances Melvin, of Greensboro, whom he met at God’s Bible 

School in Cincinnati, OH. In 1945, she gave birth to Philip Andrew and, in 1947, to Stephen Moore, both of whom are United Methodist pastors. 

Our dad received his call to ministry early in life. He was licensed to preach in the Methodist Church in 1943 and served as an evangelist 

on radio in Mayodan and Martinsville, Va., for several years. He and his partner, Lee Eldridge, traveled from church to church holding revival 

services and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ over the airwaves. In 1947, he was appointed to serve as associate at Mount Hermon 

Methodist Church in Madison; 1948 Big Sandy in Asheville, and 1949 Franklin Circuit in the Waynesville District. In 1950, he was noted for 

receiving 45 people on Profession of Faith during one revival service, baptizing them all in the Little Tennessee River. 

Dad was a friend of the Rev. Grady Wilson of the Billy Graham Association. He tells of fi shing trips with Grady, especially one in which Dad 

compared himself to John Wesley and the Moravians. A storm came up with lightning and wind. Dad wanted Grady to head for shore, but 

Grady, the Baptist, wanted to keep fi shing. Dad said: “I think he wanted to see how much this Methodist could take.” He fi nally convinced 

Grady to head for the safety of a nearby island. They stayed in touch over the years but always laughed about the storm on the lake. 

In 1950, in the days of no health insurance and our mother’s poor health, Dad had to leave the pastorate in order to support the family 

and pay the hospital bills. However, he never stopped serving. Whether mill worker, supervisor, construction foreman, or department store 

manager, we were in church on Sunday and most Wednesdays. Dad always served, and we always were part of the church. There was no other 

way for the Martin family. 

In 1966 our dad received a call from the Greensboro district superintendent asking if he would think about serving the Rockingham Circuit. 

Well, dad didn’t have to think. This was an answer to 16 years of prayer: to be able to serve as a pastor once again. Our dad went on to the 

Course of Studies School at both Duke and Emory universities, becoming an ordained deacon and an associate member of the conference. He 

served many churches and many people. His appointments included the following: Rockingham Circuit, 1966; Belews Creek-Mt. Carmel, 1968; 

Shady Grove 1969; Edneyville, 1972; Oteen-Azalea, 1976; Franklinville, 1980; Forsyth-Stokes, 1981; Rockford Street-Oak Grove, 1985; Reeds, 

1989; Mill Grove-Zion, 1991; Retired-Union Grove, 1995; Retired 1999-2001; Retired-Smyrna, 2001; Retired-Benton Heights-Hebron, 2003; 

Retired-Hebron 2005. All were important and to all he gave his last ounce of energy and thought. 

There was nothing our dad would not do to share the love of God with those he served. There was nothing too great, nothing too small, no 

one so strong or too weak, so “in-tune” or too “far out,” that dad would not touch with God’s grace. Dad believed in and lived Wesley’s thoughts 

on grace, knowing that God’s grace went before him preparing the way for God’s will to be accomplished. Out of all those years as a full-time 

pastor, there were only three years he did not receive at least one person on profession of faith and only one year that he did not receive 

anyone into the membership of the church. 

Of our dad’s many accomplishments, he most enjoyed his 26-year tenure on the annual conference secretarial staff printing The Daily 

Digest and other items as needed by the conference. His retirement from the staff was celebrated at the 2006 Annual Conference. He also 

cherished his years as chaplain of the Scottish Society of the Waxhaws in Union County. 

Our mother died in February 1995, after years of ill health. Dad served faithfully, tirelessly, and lovingly until retirement in June 1995. He 

continued to serve in retirement over the next 10 years. Dad’s identity was that of a pastor, and he was a good pastor, a good servant, and a 

person of grace. 

In 1996, he married the former Josephine Watson, and they enjoyed 14 years together. His last one and a half years were spent in a nursing 

facility with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. While he was there, Jo lovingly cared for him each and every day and was there even in her own 

ill health. In his diminished state, he was still a man of integrity and honor. He got to offer the prayer at the weekly Sunday worship service, 

which pleased him immensely. He would prepare all week for that prayer. 

Humor was a big part of his life. He loved to laugh and tell good jokes. That was part of the steady stream of people coming backstage to the 

print room at annual conference to see him, renew their friendship and laugh. Because of his humor, I think he would allow us to share with 

you this last bit of humor. Dad thought the nursing home he was in was his church. He believed that the bishop had appointed him to serve 

there, but he also believed that it was the worst appointment he had ever had. The people were so unresponsive. They just wouldn’t act like 

church people. Yes, Dad would make you smile even when he was having trouble doing the same. 

Dad died on July 21, 2010, from complications with aspiration pneumonia related to the loss of the ability to properly swallow. We gathered 

at Zion United Methodist Church on July 23, 2010, for a celebration of his life, and on July 24 his burial was at Mt. Hermon UMC cemetery. 

There were times when he knew who he was and who we were. There were also times when he did not know himself or us. Our comfort was 

in the knowledge that our dad served a God who knew him through and through, even when dad himself could not remember who he was. We 

are thankful that dad came to that day when he saw face to face, knew as he had been known, and saw clearly through that old, dim mirror. On 

that day, he knew he was at home. Welcome home, dad! Welcome home! Enjoy your peace! 

Stephen and Philip Martin


CHARLES EDWARD MORTON 

October 12, 1925 – March 19, 2011 

Charles Morton was born Oct. 12, 1925, in Summerfi eld, N.C. He was the fi rst of two sons to the late Otis G. Morton 

and Susie B. Morton. Charles graduated from Kings Business College in 1943. Upon his calling to the ministry later in 

life, Charles went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business from UNC-Greensboro in 1974 and then 

graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University in 1979. 

The Rev. Morton’s church appointments were College Place, Greensboro as Associate (1969-71); Ebenezer charge 

in Level-Cross/Trinity, 1971-1978; Hopewell in Trinity, 1978-1982; Hickory Grove, Charlotte as Associate, 1982-1989; 

First in Norwood, 1989-1994. He retired in 1994, to care for his beloved wife, Linda, who was battling diabetes, but 

still served part-time with the charge of Groometown/St. Andrews in Greensboro, 1994-2007. 

He was married to Linda Arthur Morton (now deceased). They are survived by their son: Charles E. Morton Jr., and wife Suzanne, of 

Alpharetta, Ga. Grandchildren include Holly Noel Morton and Lindsey Erin Morton, both of Alpharetta, Ga. 

The Rev. Morton died on March 19, 2011, at Dogwood Assisted Living Center in Alpharetta, Ga. Services were held at Groometown United 

Methodist Church on March 25, 2011, with burial in the Groometown cemetery. 

The Rev. Charles Morton was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, known to his grandchildren as “Poppy.” He was devoted to his 

family and congregations. He enjoyed reading and fl ying. He had been a personal pilot since before his twenties and never grew tired of fl ying. 

After 2005, Alzheimer’s began to affl ict Charles and his health, and limited his ability to participate in various activities such as fl ying. 

Charles Morton was a pastor in the truest meaning of the word: tirelessly caring for his church members through sickness, health, and 

facing life’s problems. He displayed the traits of quiet sincerity, honesty, and dedication. He lived a good life full of love and caring for all and 

will be greatly missed by many. 

Charles E. Morton Jr. 

WILLIAM HOMER PHAEGIN JR. 

July 7, 1926 – September 15, 2010 

For those of us who knew William H. Pheagin Jr., no memoir is necessary, and none could be adequate. The 

infl uence of this man and his ministry cannot be reduced to tributes of praise. His refreshing wholesomeness, the 

determination with which he gave himself to his task, his unfailing loyalty to the Christian Church, family, and friends – 

these helped him to be the soul of greatness. 

Bill, the son of William Homer, Sr., and Lula Mae Lawson Pheagin, was born on July 7, 1926, in Hall County, Ga. He 

died on Sept. 15, 2010, at his residence in Shelby, N.C. The funeral service was conducted on Sept. 18, 2010, in 

Lafayette Street United Methodist Church in Shelby, N.C., by Thomas R. Steagald, Gervase Hitch, Bruce Hobson, Thomas 

Jolly, and Ed Lynn. His mortal remains were laid to rest in Puett United Methodist Church Cemetery in Gaston County, N.C. 

Bill married Carolyn Gantt Pheagin in 1949, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his second wife, Marilyn 

Surber Ellis Pheagin, by sons Eddie Pheagin, Joe Pheagin, Dan Pheagin, and Tim Pheagin, and stepchildren Gigi Ellis Suggs and Mike Ellis. He 

is also survived by his sister, Gladys Ledbetter. 

Bill’s formal education began at Bethware High School, Gardner-Webb College, Lenoir-Rhyne College, and Duke Pastor’s School. A veteran of 

the United States Navy who served in both World War II and the Korean War, he answered the call to the ministry and was licensed to preach 

in 1952. Bill was received on trial in 1957, ordained deacon in 1959, received in “full connection” in 1960, and ordained elder in 1961. And 

then for 56 years, he gave devoted and dedicated service to Christ and The United Methodist Church. He served the following appointments: 

May’s Chapel-St. Paul, 1954-1958; New Salem, 1958-1962; Belmont: Ebenezer, 1962-1968; Spray, 1968-1971; Bessemer City: First Puett, 

1971-1977; Asheville: Trinity, 1977-1981; Asheboro: Central, 1981-1987; Hickory: St. Luke’s, 1987-1992; Retired 1992; Pine Grove, Co-Pastor, 

1996-99; Retired 1999. 

It was our great honor and pleasure to know this servant of God and to know his deep thoughts about God and the Church and his concern 

for his fellow man. To know his thoughts and concern was to know the dedication of this servant to his high calling as a United Methodist 

minister. Bill was not only a noted and respected pastor, but also a gifted after-dinner speaker, comic, musician. He loved to tell a joke or 

pull a joke on someone. He would call one of us with his latest jokes to see if we approved, so he could tell them at the next dinner speaking 

engagement. He had a tremendous love for other people. 

Bill Pheagin was faithful to the very end. He met many a downhearted and discouraged brother or sister and gave them a lift by giving them 

strength from God. He believed that Jesus was the Son of God, and that his duty was to minister the Gospel to all. Like his Lord, he went about 

doing good. It is people like Bill Pheagin who have made America a land of opportunity for all its peoples and who have maintained moral and 

spiritual values. He was a man of God. Well done, good and faithful servant. 

Under the wide and starry sky dig the grave and let me lie: 

Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. 

This be the verse you ‘grave for me: Here he lies where he long’d to be; 

Home is the sailor, home from the sea, and the hunter home from the hill. – Robert L. Stevenson

WADE GLENN ROGERS 

July 11, 1920 – August 8, 2010 

Wade Glenn Rogers was proud of his humble roots, his family of origin, and his beloved home place in Mooresville, 

where he was born July 11, 1920. As a young man, he wandered a few miles from home over to China Grove and found 

his bride. On April 13, 1941, Wade married Mary Evelyn Raybon, and they were married 69 years. Wade and Evelyn 

were blessed with three sons: Glenn Larry (who died in a tragic accident in 1996), Roy Keith, and Timothy Alton. 

The story of Wade becoming a Methodist preacher is a fascinating journey. Married with family, Wade answered 

God’s call and returned to fi nish his high school work because his daddy had insisted he drop out of elementary 

school. After that, he did his college courses at Pfeiffer and then his seminary work at Emory and Duke. In the midst 

of that preparation, Wade heard on the radio that the bishop had appointed him to South China Grove and Rock Grove

320 


churches, 1948-1955, and Wade was not aware he was eligible for an appointment. But he took the appointment and did his best as he 

juggled school, family, and church. 

His next appointments included Caroleen-Alexander, 1955-1957 (Marion District), Dulin, 1957-1960 (Thomasville District), 

Vickery-Burnette’s Chapel, 1960-1963 (High Point District), and St. Mark’s, 1963-1964 (Charlotte District). 1964 marked a temporary sojourn 

from ordained ministry for Wade, as his conference membership was terminated. It was a chapter in his life he sincerely regretted. Wade 

humbled himself and went to work in a mill to support his family. He found other employment later in Charlotte that ultimately led him to First 

Church, Charlotte, where he was business manager for over a decade. In 1976, Wade proved he was a penitent “come-back man,” and with 

the support of clergy leaders and his bishop, Wade was readmitted to the conference as a United Methodist minister. 

During a decade plus of faithful ministry at First Church, Charlotte, Wade worked diligently as a board member with Charlotte Rescue 

Mission. In 1979, he was appointed to Duncan Memorial in Charlotte, an inner-city church, where he loved the people and became a pioneer in 

our conference’s work with Cambodian immigrants. By precept and example, this man of uncomplicated faith showed our Cambodian friends 

that God loved them, and Wade made a special place for them in The United Methodist Church. 

In 1991, Wade retired offi cially as a United Methodist minister, but he really never retired. As a retired supply, he then served Plaza and 

New Hope churches in the Charlotte District and later did a short interim at Harrisburg (Salisbury District). After 40 years of active service as a 

United Methodist minister, he and Evelyn found their special places at their new church home at Moore’s Chapel (Lake Norman District). And 

almost to the end, as pastor emeritus, Wade put on his robe each Sunday and helped with the Sunday service. 

I will forever cherish that last year with Wade. His pride was evident that evening in 2009 when he hosted his “new bishop” at Moore’s 

Chapel – barbecue and homemade ice cream from his favorite ice cream place in Mooresville! But it proved to be a bittersweet year in many 

ways as Wade’s health nose-dived and as his reliance on family increased. This proud, independent man learned to let others care for him 

– and what a beautiful thing it was to see his family lovingly care for him, each in their own special way. As he became weaker, Wade told his 

pastor, David Arledge, and me on his 90th birthday at Presbyterian Hospital that he was ready to die, and without a doubt he and we knew: 

…’tis grace hath brought (Wade) safe thus far, 

and grace (would) lead (Wade) home… 

On Sunday, August 8, 2010, near sunrise, Wade entered that “house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” 

Then on August 10, 2010, at Moore’s Chapel Church, we gathered to affi rm our faith in the living Christ and to give thanks to God for the 

life of Wade Rogers – “a sheep of God’s own fold, a lamb of God’s own fl ock, a sinner of God’s own redeeming.” Using the words from one of 

Wade’s favorite texts when he preached, we now say with the writer of II Timothy, Wade has “fought the good fi ght, he has fi nished the race, he 

has kept the faith.” To God be the glory! 

James T. Trollinger 

MIKE DANIEL ROSEMAN 

April 18, 1955 – September 19, 2010 

Mike Roseman was a faithful servant! I remember sitting with him while at Course of Study at Duke Divinity School, 

and he would share with me the things he was being faithful to as he served the risen Lord. I am reminded of the 

words found in Matthew 25:21, “His Lord said unto him; Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou 

hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” (KJV) 

Not only was Mike a faithful servant, he was also a joyful servant. This scripture speaks to the joy that Mike 

Roseman had while he tried to accomplish the things the Lord sent his way while serving as a pastor. Mike had several 

“loves” in his life. His fi rst love was his love for God. Without a doubt, he loved to proclaim God’s word. He loved serving 

the people of God. He loved to sing praises, but he also loved activities such as motorsports, especially motorcycles. In 

his younger days, Mike was a champion motorcycle rider. Mike also had the love of and support of his family. Without a doubt, Mike’s love for 

his family was right next to his love for God. 

Mike Roseman, was born on April 18, 1955, in Cabarrus County, N.C. He attended Concord schools. On June 29, 1974, Mike joined in 

marriage to Cheri Bierlair. From this union came their daughter, Anna Michelle Roseman-Moran, and one grandson, Steven James. 

Mike joined Mary’s Grove United Methodist Church when he was 30 years old where he always enjoyed singing, praising God, and helping 

others. After a few years in the church, he became a certifi ed lay speaker. 

Feeling called to full-time ministry, Mike continued his education by completing the hours he needed to become a local pastor through 

Cleveland Community College in Cleveland County. Mike was licensed to preach in 1992. He completed the Course of Study at Duke Divinity 

School in 1997. 

As a local pastor, Mike served at Shelby-Martin Street in the Gastonia District, 1992-1994. He was then appointed to Mary’s Grove, 1994, 

and served there until 1996. In 1996, he moved to Fountain Hill-Mt. Moriah, where he served until 2007. In July 2007, Mike served Cedar 

Grove-Sunshine until 2010. Mike was granted incapacity leave in 2010. After being granted incapacity leave, Mike was received into the 

membership at his home church of Mary’s Grove. 

Mike entered the Church Triumphant on Sept. 19, 2010, leaving behind many who loved him, especially his family and members of The 

United Methodist Church who called him their friend. He left behind a number of personal friends he came to know through the Gaston North 

Chapter of the Gideons. Mike was loved by many clergy from across the Western North Carolina Conference and was called by some “a brother 

they never had.” 

He will be remembered as a man who was a great competitor, a good husband and father, a leader in the church and a man who fought a 

courageous battle with cancer. Even during this struggle, Mike faced other struggles, and yet, even though he faced these factors in his life, he 

was able to lead people to Christ. As was said, “Mike was a faithful servant, a man who found joy in his life while doing the Lord’s work.

RETA FELICA DOVER STECK 

December 1, 1958 – December 7, 2010 

The Rev. Reta Felica Dover Steck, pastor of the Heart at Central United Methodist Church in Concord, was a faithful 

disciple of Jesus Christ. Throughout her life and in her too-short pastoral ministry, Reta transformed the lives of many people. 

Reta was born in York, S.C., on Dec. 1, 1958, to the late Emmett Isiah Dover and Grace Mary Calhoun Dover. Reta 

began Winthrop University, and then left school to care for her family after the death of her mother. When Reta was 26, 

her father died. Reta then obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Limestone College 

in 1989. 

Reta began a career in human resources that took her to Charlotte, California, and back to Charlotte. She began 

serving as director of human resources for MedCath Corporation in 1995, when it had fewer than 90 employees, and 

left 10 years later when the company had more than 3,000 employees. 

During her time at MedCath, Reta began her spiritual journey as an adult and met her husband, Dr. Todd Steck, in a Sunday School class 

at University City United Methodist Church. She organized Sunday School classes, led Disciple Bible Study groups, and was a leader in many 

church activities. While a member at Davidson UMC, she felt her call to ministry. 

Reta was absolutely attentive to God’s presence of God in her life. Especially when God called Reta to leave her secular vocation, she 

listened and responded faithfully. Every week for three years, Reta left Todd, drove to Durham, and attended classes. At great personal and 

fi nancial loss, she did what Jesus Christ called her to do. She received her Master of Divinity degree from Duke University Divinity School, 

which she earned in 2005. She was commissioned in 2005 and ordained as an elder in full connection in 2008. 

Reta’s entire ministerial career (2005-2010) within the Western NC Conference was at Central UMC in Concord. Her natural leadership 

abilities, professionalism, strong work ethic, kindness, love of others, love of The United Methodist Church, and love of Christ touched many lives. 

She created signifi cant ministries with women, revitalized Disciple Bible training, and counseled many persons in times of crisis. She loved the 

members, and they loved her. Within the Salisbury District, her leadership was recognized when she became president of the district clergy. 

In 2009, Reta was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma multiforme, which she fought faithfully for the next 20 months. After her diagnosis, 

Reta was named Central’s “Pastor of the Heart.” During her illness, Reta continually felt surrounded by the love, support, and prayers of the 

members and staff of the church and many friends. When diagnosed with cancer, Reta heard the call of God again. This illness was not what 

she had planned or expected. Too many dreams Reta shared with Todd, her family, her friends, Central, and our United Methodist connection 

would never be fulfi lled. Yet, Reta continued to follow Jesus Christ. 

Reta never became angry at God, Todd, her family, or her friends. Reta never yielded to her illness. She fought her cancer harder and at 

greater cost than any of us know. But she fought with confi dence that she was in God’s hands. Reta had assurance that throughout her illness 

she was never alone. Todd was an exceptionally steadfast husband and lover. Most of all, Reta knew the living presence of God and would go 

where God led. On good days, and on days when the cancer and treatments fi lled her with pain, she knew God’s love for her. Whenever God 

called, whatever lot God assigned to her, Reta simply said yes. 

Reta passed away at her home on Dec. 7, 2010, and her Service of Death and Resurrection was conducted at Central UMC on Dec. 11, 2010. 

Participants in the service included: Andy Langford, Daniel Wilson, Bill Gouge, Donna Hill, Donna Harrison, Janet Crook, Karen Aschenbrener, Karen 

Gray, Cheryl Lawrence, Donna Davis, Paul Craig, Tommy Conder, Leigh Ann Ruehlen, and Katie Crook. She is survived by her husband, Dr. Todd 

Steck; sister Tammy Martin and husband Eddie; niece Brittany Moses; nephew Devin Martin; mother-in-law Mae Dreier; and other loving relatives.

DAN PRESSLEY STOWE 

September 9, 1929 – March 14, 2011 

On Monday, March 14, 2011, one of God’s faithful servants, Dan Pressley Stowe, heard the words of his Master, 

“Well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. 

Enter into the joy of your master.” 

Dan Stowe was born in Gaston County, N.C., on Sept. 9, 1929, to James McDowell and Nancy Null Stowe. He was 

preceded in death by his loving spouse of 42 years, Ruby Ann Harbin; a daughter, Jennifer Ann; his parents; brothers 

Clyde, James M. Jr., Pinkney, and Conley; sisters Ruth S. Fite and Donnie Stowe Hansil. Dan is survived by his son, Dan 

Stowe Jr.; two grandchildren, Jessica and Jacob; and one great-granddaughter, Layla. 

Dan attended Brevard College and was a graduate of High Point University. He received his Master of Divinity degree 

from Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 1957. 

He served as a loyal member of the Western North Carolina Conference at the following appointments: 1954-1957, Hayesville Circuit; 

1957-1960, Rockwood-Plains; 1960-1962, College Village (Christ, High Point, founding pastor); 1962-1966, Gethsemane; 1966-1971, Lee’s 

Chapel; 1971-1974, Summerfi eld-Center; 1974-1978, Bessemer; 1978-1981, Brookstown; 1981-1984, Valdese: First; 1984-1991, Granite 

Falls-Rhodhiss; 1991-1993, Oak View, High Point; and 1995-2011, Mt. Carmel, Stokesdale. 

Second only to his commitment to his Lord was his love and dedication to his family. Dan and Ruby cared for their handicapped daughter, 

Ann, from the time of her birth until her death in 1985. He often sacrifi ced advancement in his career, without self-pity or complaint, so they 

could be in an area where Ann could receive the best care possible. At the same time, they loved and supported Ann’s twin brother, Dan, who 

is a loyal United Methodist layman who served several years as a church organist and choir director. 

The Rev. Stowe was a dedicated Christian servant. He served all his appointments with honesty and integrity and was greatly loved and 

respected wherever he served. He loved to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ and did so for 55 years, even into retirement. He often 

continued to show up and preach even when he did not feel like it. 

Dan loved to tell and to hear funny stories. He could communicate the love of God with his smile and his laugh. He was a regular member of 

a group of retired United Methodist ministers who meet weekly for coffee and fellowship. His stories and his wit brought great joy to all of us. 

A memorial service for the Rev. Dan Stowe was held on March 19, 2011, at Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church in Greensboro. The 

service was conducted by the Rev. Marion Workman, the Rev. Dr. Ted Troutman, the Rev. Danny Miller and Ed Bigham. 

Enter into your rest loyal servant and friend.

WORTH ALFRED SWEET SR. 

June 26, 1914 – September 16, 2010 

The Rev. Worth Alfred Sweet, Sr., aged 96, died of a heart attack on Sept. 16, 2010, in the arms of his wife, Betty 

Beale Benson Sweet, at their Charlotte Aldersgate home. The Rev. Sweet, a retired minister, served the United 

Methodists of western North Carolina in active ministry for over 60 years. Those who knew and loved “Pappy” can 

testify that he ministered to one and all, both in and out of church. 

This lifelong preacher, a loving man renowned for his compassionate integrity, is survived by his wife, Betty, his fi ve 

children: Worth A. Sweet, Jr. (Sonny, born July 14, 1939), a retired Army Colonel, and wife, Bricca, of Sugar Grove, 

N.C.; his son, Edward F. Sweet (born Aug. 3, 1941), and wife, Eileen, of Myrtle Beach, S.C.; his daughter, Lily So, and 

husband, Ken Guyer, of Chicago; his daughter, Dr. Weilie Tjoa, and husband, Ken, of Houston, Texas; and his son, 

Charlie So, of Frankfort, Ky. He is also survived by his step-children and their spouses: Rick and May Benson of Waynesville and Loretta 

Pickens of Tempe, Ariz. Further, the Rev. Sweet is survived by his youngest brother, Calvin Sweet of Buzzard’s Bay, Mass., fi ve grandchildren, six 

great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. His late wife, Rachel Rebecca Williams Sweet, 

died in 1993 after nearly 58 years of marriage. (They were married Nov. 8, 1936.) Also preceding him in death were his parents, George 

Edward and Julia Westmoreland Sweet of Cornelius, two sisters, Margaret Simmons of Newton-Conover and Frances Stikeleather of Charlotte, 

and his brother, Edward Y. Sweet of Kannapolis. The Rev. Sweet’s funeral was held Sept. 19, 2010, at Central UMC in Concord, followed by his 

burial at Carolina Memorial Park in Concord. 

Worth Sweet, born June 26, 1914, in North Carolina’s Iredell County, was one of the six children of Julia Young Westmoreland Sweet and 

George Edward Sweet. The diffi cult birth of his oldest son, accompanied by the near death of both his son and wife, prompted Worth to 

answer the call to the ministry. He attended Pfeiffer College (now Pfeiffer University) from 1940-1942, followed by four distinguished years at 

Appalachian State University 1942-1946, during which time he also preached at Nathan’s Creek UMC in Ashe County (1942) and at the 

Laurel Springs UMC seven-point charge,1942-1946. Following his 1946 completion of his Bachelor of Science degree at ASU, he was admitted 

on trial in the Western North Carolina Conference, where he achieved full membership as a deacon in 1949 and as an elder in 1950. Worth also 

pursued graduate theological studies at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in 1949 and 1950. His appointments included: Oak 

Grove, Surry County, 1946-1949, Thomasville District; Level Cross, Surry County, 1950-1951, Winston-Salem District; Rocky Ridge, Cabarrus 

County, 1951-1955, Salisbury District; Milford Hills, Rowan County, 1955-1958, Salisbury District; Jordan Memorial, 1958-1963, High Point District; 

Lebanon, High Point, 1963-1967, High Point District; Hudson, Caldwell County, 1967-1971, Statesville District; and Jefferson, Ashe County, 

1971-1980, North Wilkesboro District. He retired in June 1980 and then served as associate minister of Central UMC in Concord, 1981-1989, 

with his last retirement in 1990. He and Betty Beale Benson Sweet married on Oct. 22, 1994. Worth remained active in his ministry, especially 

with senior citizens in the Central UMC congregation, until their 2002 move to Aldersgate Retirement Center in Charlotte, N.C. 

Worth was a former mill worker, selected at Appalachian State as “Mr. Appalachian,” an AAU champion boxer and a college basketball star, 

and an offi ce-holder in numerous ministerial associations. His focus was on living as if his own life were a sermon. His plain-spoken eloquence 

is echoed in his life’s guiding principle, when he said, “My life may be the only Bible that some people ever know.” Worth blazed many trails of 

racial and cultural harmony in his ministry, and he is well-remembered for the hundreds of lives he touched and changed through abiding faith, 

sincere preaching, sheer decency, and ha rd-working help.

HABAKKUK TAYLOR 

February 8, 1931 – July 17, 2010

After graduation from St. Francis Catholic High School in Yazoo, Miss., Habakkuk enlisted in 1952 and spent the 

next 22 years in the Army. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart. Upon completion of his service in the 

Army, Habakkuk moved to the Cleveland County area of North Carolina, where he answered his call to ministry while 

attending Brooks Chapel United Methodist Church.

Cleveland County Community College in Shelby, N.C., and completed courses at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte, N.C.

Grove Charge. Habakkuk entered into a retired status at the 2001 Annual Conference and remained faithful to his call and The United 

Methodist Church.

JOSEPH MEEK GOODE WARNER 

December 11, 1928 – October 7, 2010 

Joseph Meek Goode Warner was born Dec. 11, 1928, in Greensboro, N.C., to Daniel Oliver Warner and Lois Goode 

Warner. He had an older brother, Timothy Goode Warner, and an older sister, Mary Warner Robinson. 

Joe was educated in the Greensboro public schools, Darlington School in Rome, Ga., and Davidson College. He 

earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from High Point University in 1949 and a Master of Divinity degree from Duke 

University in 1952. 

He was married to Carolyn Pope of Rose Hill, N.C, on Aug. 17, 1952. Their children are Joseph Mark Warner (Kazia) 

of Bluffton, S.C., William Daniel Warner who died as an infant, Anna Warner Portis (Mark) who died Jan. 2, 2007, and 

Lee Warner Brasche (Kevin) of Irmo, S.C. The grandchildren are Joanna and Sarah Portis, Katie, John, and Daniel 

Brasche, Adam and Ann Warner. 

The Methodist ministry was almost a family tradition in Joe’s family. Growing up, he heard many stories about the life of a minister. His 

grandfather (Charles P. Goode) and an uncle (Oscar Goode) served many Methodist churches in western North Carolina. A cousin (James 

Patrick Heafner), now retired, served in this conference. 

Joe was baptized as an infant at West Market Street Methodist Church, Greensboro, where his family attended. Years later, it was here that 

he received his local preacher’s license. 

While attending Davidson College, Joe felt the call to preach. He was admitted to membership in the Western North Carolina Conference 

of The United Methodist Church and ordained deacon in 1951 and elder in 1953. He served the church honorably for 40 years and retired in 

1991, living in Rose Hill, N.C., and later in Irmo, S.C. 

After his graduation from Duke, Joe served as the interim minister at Commonwealth (Charlotte) from June to October 1952. Following 

that, his appointments were: St. Luke (Charlotte) founding minister 1952-1956; Bethlehem (then Charlotte) 1956-1960; Duncan Memorial 

(Charlotte) 1960-1961; Oakley (Asheville) 1961-1965; Higgins Memorial in Burnsville (Asheville) 1965-1969; Black Mountain (Asheville) 

1969-1973; Fair Grove in Thomasville (Lexington) 1973-1977; Pineville (Charlotte) 1977-1981; Midway in Kannapolis (Salisbury) 1981-1986; 

Weaverville (Asheville) 1986-1988; Hill’s Chapel (then Charlotte) 1988-1989; First Dallas (Gastonia) 1989-1991. 

Joe had polio when he was nine months old and his left side was paralyzed. Although he never completely regained the use of his left arm, 

he played many sports and was very competitive. Coach Bob Jamieson, a well-known Greensboro High School coach, said in the Greensboro 

Daily News in 1975, upon his retirement after 42 years of coaching, that Joe Warner was one of his boys. “Warner had a withered arm, yet he 

played baseball and basketball in the ‘40’s. He was a phenomenal rebounder. I can see him now, grabbing those rebounds with one hand.” 

After a private service, conducted by Dr. William H. Phillips of the South Carolina Conference and with his family participating, he was buried 

near his son at Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Waxhaw, N.C.

WILLIAM RAYVON WHITE 

October 1, 1924 – September 5, 2010 

William Rayvon White was born on October 1, 1924, in Erlanger, N.C. (now Lexington), to Henry Jackson White and 

Bessie Everhart White. He is survived by his loving wife and devoted companion of 67 years, Bonnie Ziglar White, who 

faithfully supported him throughout his ministry; married August 14, 1943; son, William R. White Jr., born October 6, 

1951, and wife Carolyn; grandson, Jeffrey N. White and wife, Shauna; great-granddaughter, Melissa White; two brothers, 

Calvin White and wife, Virginia; Jack White and wife, Diane; and preceded in death by his brother, Lloyd Gideon White. 

Rayvon worked at Erlanger Textile Mill and played on the company’s basketball team for several years. At the age of 

26, he accepted God’s call into the ministry. He attended High Point University and completed the conference Course 

of Study at Duke Divinity School. He received his local preacher’s license in 1952, was ordained a deacon in 1960, 

and was ordained an elder of the Western North Carolina Conference in 1962. In 1955, he was appointed as a student minister to Greer’s 

Chapel in the Thomasville District. Along with serving the church and his studies at High Point University, he helped the members construct a 

parsonage, learned to plow corn and cotton, thresh wheat and slaughter hogs, because when anyone asked for help he responded if possible. 

This was all new to him, since he was raised in the city. His other appointments included Asheville: Emma and Riverview, 1957-1958; Emma, 

1959-1961; Mayodan, 1962-1964; Shady Grove, Peach Tree, Hemphill, Maggie Valley, 1965-1966; Maggie Valley, 1966-1968; Fallston, 

Friendship, 1969-1972; Gastonia, Maylo, 1973-1975; Maiden, First, 1976-1979; Andrews and Parish Associate, 1980-1983; Statesville, Rose 

Chapel, 1984-1987; Greensboro, Lee’s Chapel, 1988-1989. He always took his work for the Lord seriously and didn’t expect the congregation 

to do anything he wouldn’t do himself. He enjoyed all aspects of the ministry: leading others to Christ, spiritual growth and discipleship, 

visitation, and especially working with the children and youth as well as the older people. He had a special place in his heart for Camp Tekoa 

and served as a counselor there once a week each year for over 25 years to the youth and as a Special Friends counselor providing spiritual 

growth and fun activities for campers with developmental disabilities. 

Due to health issues, he retired in 1989 and settled in the beautiful mountains of Maggie Valley, N.C., where he enjoyed life to the fullest. He 

faithfully attended the Maggie United Methodist Church and helped in any capacity where there was a need and also as minister emeritus. 

Dad also held worship services each Sunday at the Ghost Town Amusement Park for 12 years, served on the board for Golden Cross for 

several years, and helped deliver Meals on Wheels for 18 years. His favorite hobbies and activities included woodworking, hunting, trout and 

bass fi shing, performing Bible object lessons, magic, cooking, and watching God’s creatures (animals and humans). Dad passed on to eternal 

life on Sept. 5, 2010, a t the Smoky Mountain Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center after dealing with dementia and other health issues for the past 

fi ve years. A memorial service was held at the Maggie United Methodist Church on Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010, with the Rev. Richard Buff and 

the Rev. Erma Bond offi ciating. Though he’s no longer with us physically, he will always be in our hearts and minds. These few words can never 

capture the true essence of Pop’s love for Mom and I, and all the others he came in contact with during his walk on this earth. His love for the 

Lord and life was contagious. He embraced each day as an adventure and acknowledged it as a day the Lord had made, and he truly rejoiced 

and was glad in it. Even in the most diffi cult circumstances, his smile, wit, sense of humor, and gentle touch could light up a room and let you 

know you were truly in the presence of one of God’s faithful servants. 

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”

ROBEY ALAN WILSON 

September 18, 1962 – August 10, 2010 

On Sept. 18, 1962, Robey Alan Wilson was born in Morganton, N.C., to Robey Wilson and Linda Barus Wilson. He 

has only one sibling, Lisa Wilson Lowdermilk, also of Morganton. Growing up, Alan was very close to his family and had 

a special fondness for his mother’s Waldensian family heritage. He attended Salem Elementary School and Junior High 

from 1968 to 1977, where he had many fond memories of good friends and football. At a very young age, Alan was 

active in his church, Salem United Methodist, and made a profession of faith at Burkemont Baptist Church. Even as he 

played “preacher” in his home by lecturing his family, he was destined for God’s call to ministry. 

As Alan grew older, he enjoyed participating in the Glee Club at Freedom High School, participating in the Salem 

UMC Boy Scouts, and driving a bus for the Burke County School System. Although he felt the call of God on his life to 

preach as a teenager, Alan did not pursue a degree in ministry upon graduation in 1980. His focus was on work, Western Piedmont Community 

College, and his true love, Lonna Carpenter, who he married on Feb. 25, 1984. After his marriage, he and Lonna worked for seven years in 

preparation for a future family. Alana Marie Wilson, their only child, was born July 17, 1990. 

Pursuing his roles as husband and father, Alan was continually drawn back to his call in ministry. To further prepare himself for God’s plans, 

he took distance education classes at then-Gardner-Webb College and Erskine Theological Seminary, obtaining fi rst his Bachelor of Science 

degree in 1999 and his Master of Divinity degree in 2005. The Rev. Wilson began his ministry in 1993 and served the only two appointments 

of his ministry in the Marion District: Pinnacle UMC, 1994-1995, and Denton’s Chapel UMC, 1995-2010. After a lengthy education process, 

Wilson was admitted as a probationary elder to the Western NC Conference in 2006 and three years later, in 2009, he obtained full connection 

as an elder in The United Methodist Church. 

During his candidacy for elder, Alan was struck with prostate cancer in 2007. This disease ultimately took his life on Aug. 10, 2010, after it 

metastasized to the bone. On Aug. 12, 2010, the Rev. Wilson’s funeral was held at Burkemont Baptist Church. He was interred in Denton’s 

Chapel UMC cemetery the same afternoon. 

Although his earthly life may be over, Alan taught his congregation God’s promise that all believers will be reunited in heaven. A leader 

and a doer, Alan always strove to do the best for his church and for his fl ock. His love, faith, and loyalty carried over to his family as he was 

a wonderful husband and a loving daddy. No greater proof of his compassion can be found than in the ones he left behind, for they are as 

diverse as they are numerous. He exemplifi ed Christ’s disciple Peter by being a “Rock” in all turbulent situations yet demonstrating enough 

sensitivity to take in any wayward kitten at the parsonage. His enduring love for his Father ensures us that he continually abides in the Savior’s 

arms and that we will someday join him if we only believe. 

Alana Wil son 

Special thanks to the Rev. G. Craig Allen for his ministry of editing the memoirs.
