Pastors are rarely recognized for the time and effort they put into working with their congregations. This year, the Minnesota Conference would like to make special mention of our pastors for the work done in 2018. Because of our dedicated workforce, we have seen significant growth in our conference. At the close of 2018, we recorded 10,490 members in 113 congregations.
Our pastors work hard to help church members grow spiritually. They help those in the faith participate in Christian services and ministries. The churches doing small group ministries, personal evangelism and church planting are growing the fastest in our conference.
2018 was an exciting year. We experienced a lot of joy as we saw many of our pastors draw people into ministry who previously sat on the sidelines.
Thank you to all our pastors—and especially those who have seen growth ranging from 10 to 47 percent. We as a conference believe we need more workers engaged in ministry, making more disciples, so that together we can bring in more souls. One day soon, the Lord will come and say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
