The MidTexas Conference stretches from the Red River to the Gulf of Mexico and includes congregations from North Texas, Central Texas, and Rio Texas areas. If you are a congregation or clergy member seeking to align with The Global Methodist Church, we encourage you to apply and be a part of what God is doing in the MidTexas Conference!

MidTexas Conference Superintendent, Bishop Leah Gregory, shares an online learning opportunity based on "Spreading Scriptural Holiness”  drawn from Dr. David Watson’s book Scripture and the Life of God, as well as other resources. This is a valuable resource allowing the people of MidTexas to engage in conversation about the vital importance of our Biblical understanding of holiness and the Great Commission to make disciples of all the world.

Certified lay ministers are professing members of a local congregation who work in all areas of the church's ministry, including leading, teaching, preaching, caring, and worship. 

Though our financial situation has improved a little in the last two months, ministry resources remain tight, and we are therefore under-staffed. We could really use a custodian, a children’s ministry leader, and a youth director. In particular, we have been struggling to keep our youth group going, and so we have been praying for God’s provision in this area (and others). Recently, I was asked to come to the local Ratio Christi school, which is a college preparatory program intended to help students prepare to defend their faith and be able to witness to their faith in life beyond high school. They were doing a unit on Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the cost of discipleship, and I was, therefore, being asked to talk to them about the costs we paid for disaffiliation, such as the lawsuit and the loss of long-time friends. A few days later, the man who had asked me to do the presentation invited me to lunch, ostensibly to thank me. As we ate lunch, we discussed our faith journeys, and he told me that for the last few months, due to various circumstances, he was

 “church-homeless.” I told him he was welcome to “come check us out on a Sunday morning,” which was when he confessed that was his real reason for inviting me to lunch that day. He believed God was calling him to come work with our youth, if that was okay. (I’ve known him through the local ministerial alliance for years, and he is biblically solid.) He came to visit, I gave him and his wife a catechism, and some Seedbed Seedlings on Arminianism and the character of a methodist. (He later expressed delight in how he never realized how much Wesleyan doctrine lined up with his own beliefs.) Within a few weeks, He and his wife joined the church and completed MinistrySafe screening and training. By the way, he has a Doctor of Ministry in theology and apologetics, and his thesis was on stopping the exodus of the younger generations from the church. God is good and faithful, and answers prayer.
