Every year United Methodist pastors and church leaders review their charge for the past year, document their current status and resources, reflect on the work that has been done, and develop plans to deepen and broaden their ministry. The Charge Conference Forms in this booklet provide the minimum reporting requirements specified for this process by
The Book of Discipline. This set of data has provided a sound base for evaluating “how it is” with us over decades to help congregations identify and respond to change.
