“Pastoring During the Pandemic” Webinar

December 4, 2020

We all feel the weight of our current pandemic that leaves us with a lingering sense of uncertainty and anxiety. Our present reality is further darkened by the prognostications that this might be our new normal. How do we pastor in this new reality? How does the Church respond? What do I embrace to move forward?

Join your conference superintendents and our special guest, Mike Chong Perkinson (Lamb’s Fellowship Lake Elsinore and Senior Developer at The Praxis Center for Church Development), Thursday, December 3 as we look to Jesus for simple and profound solutions to these questions. In the midst of a time that was filled with its own challenges, Jesus was able to start a movement that is still alive today by focusing on making disciples and developing leaders that would carry that movement around the world. Jesus is not only our way to the Father, he’s the way for us to pastor in and through whatever is next.

Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin
Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin

Bishop E. Kenneth Martin delivers a prophetic challenge to the Free Methodist Church, confronting deep-rooted issues of spiritual bondage, systemic oppression, and the church’s complacency. “Churches are dying in a cage,” he declares, calling for a radical shift in how the church addresses:

– Spiritual chains of sin and oppression
– Historical and ongoing impacts of slavery
– Diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges
– The church’s reluctance to engage difficult conversations
– Breaking free from “nasty” church politics and self-serving leadership

“This is a season of manifestation,” Martin says, urging a breakthrough from 2025 to 2035 that will transform the church locally and globally.
