2022 Year End Board Report – FMCSC Ministerial Education and Guidance Board

May 19, 2023

In this 2022 Year End Board Report, the Free Methodist Church in Southern California (FMCSC) invites you to explore how it is reshaping the future of faith leadership through the lens of the Ministerial Education and Guidance Board. Emphasizing the values of clarity, inclusivity, and adaptability, this report delves into the transformative processes being implemented to empower a new generation of leaders.

Recognizing the pitfalls of fluctuating goalposts, the FMCSC is striving for transparency and fairness in its leadership development process. This initiative aims to counteract any biases that may disadvantage women and people of color. Additionally, the church is committed to nurturing leaders who align with the core Free Methodist values—Biblical centeredness, openness to the Spirit, and a passion for justice.

The report also introduces Reverend Doug Ranck and Dr. Kevin Mannoia, instrumental figures in mentoring future leaders and aiding them in understanding what it means to be a Free Methodist in the 21st century. By prioritizing the development of these values and the demystification of the leadership process, the FMCSC is creating a space where leader development is more formational, fostering ministries that yield fruitful results and lifelong fulfillment. Be a part of this journey and witness the progression of leadership within the FMCSC.
