Council on Ministries

The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, 2004

Paragraph 253. Age-Level, Family, and Specialized-Ministries Coordinators (see also ¶ 252)
     The charge conference may elect annually a coordinator of children's ministries, a coordinator of youth ministries, a coordinator of adult ministries, and a coordinator of family ministries. Where young adult and specific age-level ministries would be enhanced, coordinators of young adult and/or older adult ministries may be elected.  Where there are civic youth-serving agencies or Scouting ministry units present there may be elected a Scouting coordinator. Where needs for specialized areas of ministry arise (for example, single adults or persons with disabilities), coordinators of these areas of ministry may be elected.

Paragraph 254. Other Ministry Group Coordinators
     In order to fulfill the mission of the local church, the charge conference may elect annually a coordinator or ministry group chairperson for any or all of these areas: Christian unity and interreligious concerns, church and society, community volunteers, education, evangelism, higher education and campus ministry, missions, prayer advocacy, religion and race, status and role of women, earth advocacy, stewardship, and worship.
Where desirable, the charge conference may combine coordinators' or ministry group chairpersons' assignments. Each coordinator or ministry group chairperson, if elected, shall work with the church council (or other appropriate body), pastor(s), and other church leaders to address the needs and opportunities of the particular area, utilizing all appropriate resources and relationships of the district, annual conference, and/or general church.
