24. There shall be a Clergy Effectiveness Team which shall be a resource to the bishop and cabinet to assist clergy who are having significant difficulty with effectiveness in ministry. To assist the Bishop in carrying out the responsibilities of ¶ 334.3 and ¶359.1b, the team will meet with the referred clergy person to identify concerns and design collaboratively a corrective plan of action for a return to more effective ministry.
A. Membership: There shall be eight members who shall be appointed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry. The members of the team shall not be members of the Conference Board of Ordained Ministry. The JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 25 majority of the team shall be clergy and at least one member shall be a layperson. In addition, the director of the Office of Ministerial Services and a district superintendent appointed by the bishop shall be ex-officio members without vote. In the event the district superintendent of the referred clergy person is an ex-officio member of the team, that district superintendent shall recuse himself or herself, and the bishop shall appoint another district superintendent to sit on the team for that case only. In the event any member of the team is appointed to or attends the same local church as the referred clergy person, that member of the team shall recuse himself or herself, and the bishop shall appoint another clergy person or layperson to sit on the team for that case only.
B. Terms of Service: The team membership shall be divided into two classes of four years each. To promote continuity, four of the initial members shall be elected for two- year terms, and four of the initial members shall be elected to four- year terms. Notwithstanding conference rules of longevity regarding total length of service in an elected position, members shall not be appointed to serve two consecutive terms on the team.
C. Officers: The team shall elect a chair and a secretary every two years.
D. Referrals: The bishop and the cabinet shall refer to the team those clergy who are experiencing a pattern of diminished effectiveness in their ministry. The team shall meet with the referred clergy person and his/her district superintendent, and shall develop a plan to enable and support the restoration of effectiveness. The team shall continue to meet with the referred clergy person until such time as he or she has established a pattern of effectiveness, or, in the opinion of the majority of the members of the team, until the team determines that the referred clergy person is not making sufficient progress. The team shall report its conclusions to the bishop and cabinet.
E. Method: The team, the referred clergy person, and his/her district superintendent together shall develop a plan for the attainment of agreed upon goals that will demonstrate renewed effectiveness for ministry. The work of the team may include psychological testing, spiritual direction, coaching, health screening, random or directed drug testing, retreats, counseling, mentoring, educational opportunities, or other programs as needed to assist the clergy person in attaining effectiveness in ministry. A letter detailing the agreed upon goals and plan of work shall be sent to the referred clergy person from the Office of Ministerial Services immediately following the meeting in which the plan is developed. Progress shall be demonstrated and documented at each meeting.
F. Meetings: The team shall meet at least two times per year and the chair shall give reasonable notice of the meeting dates to all members as well as to the bishop and cabinet. 26 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE
G. Financial Support: The team shall determine its financial needs in order to be effective, and shall submit any request for funding to the Office of Ministerial Services to be included in its budget.
25. Pastors in all classifications (licensed local pastors, provisional members, associate members and members in full connection, including those receiving Equitable Compensation grants) shall receive annual paid vacation with the church/charge being responsible for pulpit supply. Good vacation time benefits ministry. Since pastors are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, time away (when the parish is “vacated”) can bring renewal and refreshment for the tasks at hand.
Time devoted to continuing education or spiritual formation shall not be considered vacation time.
At least one day per week should be considered personal time, apart from vacation.
It is further expected that pastors who are in the first year of an appointment need to show sensitivity concerning the scheduling of their vacations. It is recommended that pastors in their first year refrain from taking vacation during the first month of their new assignment. Also, please be sensitive to extenuating circumstances that might arise from unforeseen moves. It is also recommended that first-year vacation be distributed across the year and not taken all at once. On the other hand, it is recognized that pastors and their families having just moved, with all the stress moving can bring, certainly are entitled to, and should take, some vacation time during the first summer.
It should be emphasized that clergy who move from one church to another within the United Methodist connection should not be expected to “earn” vacation in each new place as new employees. The situation Is analogous to a branch- manager of a company being sent to another branch within the company.
Finally, continuing education for pastors Is a requirement of the denomination (¶ 350) and time should be allowed for fulfilling this requirement. Continuing education is not to be considered vacation time. A clergy member’s continuing education and spiritual growth program shall include professional formation leaves at least one week each year and may include at least one month during one year of every quadrennium (¶ 350.2)
These policies should be applied with utmost cooperation and sensitivity between pastors and congregations, considering both the needs of the local churches and of pastors’ families. If there appears to be a problem in this regard, It Is JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 27 Imperative that the pastor, the Staff/Pastor Parish Relations Committee, and the district superintendent meet to seek a solution.
The church pays the cost of providing pulpit supply during vacation period. Vacation days not used in any single appointment year are lost and do not accrue, nor shall the charge be obligated to pay additional compensation for any such unused days.
Guidelines for vacation periods shall be based on the credited years of service as indicated in the service record published annually in the Alabama-West Florida Conference Journal. Vacation shall be calculated based on the conference year July 1 – June 30.
Full- time pastors in all classifications shall receive the following minimum annual paid vacation with the church/charge responsible for pulpit supply: 1-3 years = 2 weeks, including 2 Sundays 4-7 years = 3 weeks, including 3 Sundays 8-10 years = 4 weeks, including 4 Sundays 11 or more years = 5 weeks, including 5 Sundays
Part-time pastors in all classifications shall receive a minimum of two weeks of annual paid vacation, including two Sundays, with the church/charge responsible for pulpit supply.
BOARDS AND AGENCIES OF THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE 26.

The Resolution Concerning Predatory Lending in Alabama The Committee recommends adoption of this resolution.

WHEREAS, The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church states in the Social Principles: “Financial institutions serve a vital role in society. They must guard, however, against abusive and deceptive lending practices that take advantage of the neediest among us for the gain of the richest. Banking regulations must prevent the collection of usurious interest that keeps people in cycles of debt.” (Social Principles, 163J Finance), and
WHEREAS, the Bible forbids usury in dozens of passages from Exodus to the Gospels,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church calls upon the Alabama State Legislature to pass appropriate legislation to curb the activities of predatory lenders, and
LET IT FURTHER BE RESOLVED that United Methodists in the Alabama-West Florida Conference who are residents of Alabama be encouraged to contact their state legislators to ask that they support these efforts, and
LET IT FURTHER BE RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Governor of Alabama and every member of the Alabama State Legislature.

The petition reads: Evaluation for Continuing Formation for Full Members and Local Pastors Discipline ¶ 349.3 General Church Budget Implications: None Context of Petition: Delete ¶ 349.3

This evaluation process was prescribed by the 2016 General Conference. The Discipline calls for each annual conference to develop and initiate a plan for such an assessment by January 1, 2020.

EPISCOPAL ADDRESS Bishop Graves recognized Rev. Darren McClellan, Rev. Sara Shaver, and Rev. Ron Ball. Rev. McClellan and Rev. Shaver are going back into the local church. They were recognized for contributions to the cabinet and service as district superintendents.
Rev. Ron Ball, Director of Academy for Congregational Excellence was recognized for his lengthy service to the Conference. He is stepping back from some of his responsibilities. Bishop Graves introduced the Cabinet, asked them to stand, and recognized them for their help. Mary Catherine Phillips and Luke Lucas were recognized for their help throughout the year and at conference. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 251 Bishop Graves reminded the Conference that Mary Catherine Phillips was recognized as the UMC Communicator of the Year at General Conference 2019. All those who helped with annual conference this year, including the staff and volunteers at Frazer UMC and Montgomery First UMC were recognized.
In The Episcopal Address, Bishop David Graves encouraged lay and clergy to focus on “This” instead of “That” citing the conference theme: THIS WE PROCLAIM. Taking the text from 1 John 1:1, Bishop Graves remembered the struggles and challenges of this past year, including hurricanes, tornadoes, clergy deaths, challenging personalities, and denominational changes. Bishop Graves reminded the Conference that we are on the brink of change because we can no longer live in the tension. He challenged the conference that change has come, and the Alabama-West Florida Conference must decide who we will become. He encouraged the Conference to spend more time proclaiming instead of complaining about those things which distract us from our call. He shared the four priorities we should focus on:
• Growing God’s kingdom by making disciples and developing a multiplication mindset throughout the annual conference; • Attracting and retaining exceptional talent that helps promote a culture of call for clergy and laity; • Teaching, training, and coaching to support excellent preaching so that people encounter Jesus and live out the Great Commission; • Being adaptive leaders through uncharted times emphasizing connectionalism and focusing on Kingdom work.
Bishop Graves concluded his address with inviting everyone to joyfully sing in unison, “Victory in Jesus.”
ORDER OF THE DAY: FIXING OF APPOINTMENTS AND ADJOURNMENT The entire list of appointments is available online. The district superintendents announced only the names of those clergy who are being assigned to new pastoral appointments in their respective districts. Each district lay leader offered prayers for their respective districts.
PRAYER FOR THE AWF DELEGATION TO 2020 GENERAL CONFERENCE Bishop Graves invited the Alabama-West Florida Conference delegation to the 2020 General Conference up to the stage.
Bishop Graves called on the Annual Conference to keep the members of the delegation in prayer as they prepare for the 2020 General Conference and Jurisdictional Conference.

HONORABLE LOCATION (Paragraph 359.1) Crosspoint CC………………………………………………………………………Bruce D. Gagle 314 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Academy for Congregational Excellence The Academy for Congregational Excellence has as its main focus, “Effective Leaders, Fruitful Churches, and a Transformed World.” This applies to churches of all sizes, in all places, and to leader development for both laity and clergy. Someone has said, “One cannot rise above the level of leadership”. Another familiar saying is, “When leaders grow stronger, everything becomes stronger.” ACE is dedicated to providing ministries and being partnered with the AWF Conference so that we can all be more effective in making disciples of Jesus Christ.
Some of the ways ACE has worked to live into our Vision are as follows: Becoming a More Effective Leader Course: Approximately 115 people participated in 10 monthly sessions for clergy and laity from across the AWF Conference that were led by outstanding people from our own Conference. These great leaders donated their time and many provided materials to all the participants. The participants only paid for their lunches. The reviews were positive. The focus areas were selected from a survey sent to clergy and laity across the Conference, and the courses were designed around helping in the identified areas of need.
EQUIP Training: A training retreat for pastors and laity from small membership churches was provided based on material from John Maxwell’s leadership training. It is used in over 120 countries around the world to develop leaders. Similar training is available in local churches at the request of pastors, District Superintendents, and/or Lay Leaders.
Partners in Preaching: Led by Dr. Sam Parkes, cohort teams meet monthly in various locations around the Conference to study, learn together, practice preaching, and develop skills to make them even more effective as preachers. This is highly successful, and we thank Dr. Parks for investing in the preaching skills of AWF clergy.
Leadership Alabama-West Florida: Dr. Blake Horne and Dr. Rob Couch are working together to set up teams of laity to discover ministries that will address the context of their respective districts. This is being coordinated with the priorities set by Bishop Graves. It is patterned after Leadership Alabama, but directed toward the needs of local churches and their respective ministry areas.
Working with the Annual Conference: ACE was requested to work with the CORE Team to put together a process for small membership churches who want to take steps in a new ministry that JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 315 will reach new people and/or meet needs in their respective communities. This is patterned after the Ministry Accelerator in the Virginia Conference.
Bishop’s Clergy Learning Cohorts Over this past conference year, the Academy for Congregational Excellence (ACE) has been able to play an integral role in the recently launched Bishop’s Clergy Learning Cohorts. In an effort to prepare for the future of the Alabama- West Florida Conference, Bishop David Graves began exploring the idea of developing cohorts of clergy that would provide an opportunity for clergy to grow stronger themselves, in turn causing the churches they serve to grow stronger.
The goals of the Bishop’s Clergy Learning Cohorts initiative are:
1. Develop the competencies necessary for the next level conference leaders: large church pastors, fast growing markets pastors, and district superintendents.
2. Build long-term camaraderie for healthy, supportive relationships for the challenges of a pastor’s work and life.
3. Explore and experiment with the creativity, risk-taking, and innovation needed to successfully grow our churches in today’s challenging times.
In developing these cohorts, extensive research on learning cohorts in other Methodist conferences was done to determine what worked and what did not work in their experiences. Based on the results of these studies, it became clear that having paid facilitators is the key to successful learning cohorts as well as the meetings having an overnight component. The use of paid facilitators for the Bishop’s Clergy Learning Cohorts is made possible through a partnership between ACE and the Annual Conference, where ACE has made a commitment to cover the facilitator and coaching costs for the learning cohorts.
The kick-off event for the inaugural Bishop’s Clergy Learning Cohort took place October 29-30, 2018 with 40 participants. An additional learning cohort for large church pastors will kick-off April 24-25, 2019 with 12 participants. ACE is excited about this partnership with Bishop Graves and the Conference and looks forward to continuing to play a major role in the development of clergy in the Alabama-West Florida Conference.

We welcome your ideas and want to meet your needs. Please communicate with us to let us know your thoughts.
If your district or local church has a need, contact Rev. Ron Ball, Director of ACE, through email at [email protected] or by phone at 850-624-2372. Rev. Ball has worked with several churches to help them in various ways depending on their specific needs. This includes Conflict Resolution, Ministry Action Plans, Leadership Training, etc. The Administrative Assistant for ACE, is Mrs. Allison Frost. Allison can be reached by calling Aldersgate United Methodist Church, in Montgomery, Alabama. Our Board of Directors are diligently working to make ACE a wonderful gift to the churches of Alabama- West Florida. You can go online to our Website AWFACE.org to see the membership list, and to get information. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of serving this great Conference.
In Christ, Rev. Ron Ball, Director Academy for Congregational Excellence JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 317 Conference CORE Team Connectional Ministries Connection is the energy that exists between two or more people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationships.-Brene Brown
The following narratives give a snapshot of our attempt in the last year to build this energy within our conference. We have sought to truly listen to individuals and churches throughout our conference and allow our shared values to surface. Time and time again, in joyous occasions and in challenging times, we find that we are truly stronger together.
In August of last year, while onboarding many new members to our conference staff and seeking to bring alignment and clarity to the work of our conference as a whole, the Bishop and conference staff came up with a list of priorities for the next two years. These priorities were reviewed and edited by the cabinet, large churches pastors, and the core team. The core team rallied around these priorities and in the coming year will continue to make difficult decisions with these priorities as a guide. The hope is that these priorities will help us to better live into our vision of seeing thriving churches who are making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
The 2018-2020 Annual Conference Staff Priorities are as follows:
We exist to help our local churches and extension ministries in growing God’s kingdom by making disciples and developing a multiplication mindset throughout the annual conference, attracting and retaining exceptional talent that helps promote a culture of call for clergy and laity, teaching, training, and coaching to support to support excellent preaching so that people encounter Jesus and live out the Great Commission, and being adaptive leaders through uncharted times emphasizing connectionalism and focusing on Kingdom work.
On October 10th, Hurricane Michael destroyed much of the Marianna-Panama City District. Hurricane relief became the priority for much of the conference staff in the weeks and months that followed. We are so thankful for the extra time and energy that so many people put into this effort. The relief effort continues to exemplify what it means to be adaptive and connectional. It has been amazing to watch annual conferences, districts, churches, and individuals come together under a common goal of helping others recover. Our recovery team of construction coordinators, volunteer coordinators, and case managers in Port St. Joe, Marianna, and Panama City will be working to restore homes in those communities for at least the next four years. We are so thankful for the leadership of Rev. Chris Akerman, Hurricane Michael Recovery Director, and 318 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Tammy Tisher, Assistant Director of Hurricane Michael Recovery. This amazing team, as well of millions of dollars in supplies and aid, would not be possible without the financial support and training supplied through UMCOR. We are also thankful to Dr. Rob Haynes, Conference Disaster Response Coordinator, for his continued leadership in training our extended cabinet and district disaster response coordinators and providing a strategy and theology of mission conference-wide. Dr. Haynes and a team of conference staff continue to evaluate what we have learned from the initial response from this disaster.
In the literal whirlwind of the fall, it was hard to focus on our priorities, but not too hard. Our conference connectional ministries team met most Monday mornings to worship together, learn together, and stay focused on our “wildly important goal”. The connectional ministries team believes that to help local churches and ministries make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, we have to be growing as disciples of Jesus Christ. We read scripture together we pray together, we encourage growth in one another, and we hold one another accountable to our shared work. This fall, we read “Canoeing the Mountains” by Todd Bolisinger and began to learn principles needed in order to be adaptive leaders in the world today. In our leadership time together, we developed tangible, lead measures for accomplishing our goals. Helping churches thrive in making disciples can be a large and overwhelming task. We have learned that it helps to break this task down into priorities and specific tasks in each work area. Our team often works in groups of two or more as we experiment in moving forward with a given priority, and through it all, we have a lot of fun together.
One of the highlights of our first attempts at tackling these priorities was a trip in early 2019 to Lakeland, Florida, to learn culture of the call strategies from First United Methodist Church of Lakeland and the Florida Annual Conference. A team from the conference office, the Board of Ordained Ministry, and Huntingdon’s Leadership Academy spent two days learning about multigenerational approaches to developing a culture of the call. The group returned to Alabama-West Florida ignited to help our local churches grow in this area. Fifteen churches in our conference were invited to be part of an initial culture of the call event. The initial event will take place this fall. The conference is investing in the development of culture of call through a new internship program. The program will involve a partnership between the annual conference and local churches who receive interns. Interns will experience all the aspects of full-time ministry while in their local church setting and process their experience with the Ministerial Effectiveness Staff of our conference. If your church has never had an intern and might be interested in this program, please contact Rev. June Jernigan. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 319 In the fall of 2018, the Alabama-West Florida Excellence in Preaching Team was formed to begin to develop tools and strategies for teaching, training, and coaching excellent preaching. This group of clergy and laity met on several occasions to begin to define preaching and identify the crucial tasks that make preaching effective. The group developed a survey for clergy and laity based on these tasks. The results of the surveys will help the group produce a variety of tools for our local congregations. Some of our current ideas include a regular podcast on preaching, encouraging sermon feedback loops, providing forms for such feedback, and a regional preaching festival. The team was able to send representation to the National Festival of Young Preachers in January of this year. The festival invites preachers from age 14-35 from all denominations to come and network, form community, practice a sermon in front of peers, receive feedback, and attend master classes. Bishop David Graves and Rev. John Russell reached a tag team sermon to open the event. Dr. Sam Parkes served as a sermon evaluator. The event not only helped the team learn about some of the things it takes to grow in preaching, it also served as a place to attract exceptional talent. Many thanks to Rev. Richard Williams for his leadership with the Academy of Preaching and for helping the conference become a partner in this event.
The partnership with Tanzania continues to grow throughout our conference as Susan Hunt assists local churches in making disciples who are being sent out in service to the world. We deployed two teams to Tanzania in 2018. The work in Tanzania centers largely around economic leadership and capacity development that leads to churches and ministries that are self-sustaining, self-leading, and self-replicating. AWF churches can also financially support evangelism through the building of churches and education through scholarships and resources at Wesley College in Mwanza, Tanzania. We are thankful for the missional offering of the churches of this conference. It is amazing what we can accomplish together as we remember our global connection in Christ. There are many ways to continue to partner with Tanzania including making Tanzania the offering for your VBS this summer.
Our team has found in the past year as we attend to these priorities that central to this work is a need to better develop our cross-cultural competencies. It is virtually impossible to seek new people into the discipleship process, attract exceptional leaders, display excellence in preaching that leads people to live out the great commission, or be adaptive leaders today without cross-cultural competency. Celeste Eubanks, Director of Leadership Strategies, led our conference in three At the Table events this past year that sought to increase conversation about issues surrounding culture and race. Rev. John Brooks, Director of Multicultural Ministries, has been working on building relationships with community leaders in many key cities as well as across denominational bounds. Martha Rovira, Director of Hispanic Ministries, has been working with immigration issues and helping our pastors go through the process of citizenship. 320 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE She is also looking at helping churches throughout our conference begin ESL classes in their areas. Our Conference Board of Church and Society held a racial justice seminar in January with speakers from the Equal Justice Initiative leading us to consider the ways we continually view ourselves as better than some other groups of people on the basis of race, education level, and economic means. Much more work is needed to develop relationships and grow more aware of our blind spots and biases. If we will invest time, energy, and resources in this difficult and sometimes painful endeavor, we might just be part of transforming our corner of the world.
A big thank you to the entire team for a great year. We celebrate the connections we have made with one another and with you. We are so thankful for the awesome ways we work almost seamlessly with the Episcopal Office, Ministerial Effectiveness Office, Communications Office, Fiscal Office, Office of Congregational Development and Vitality, and our District Offices. Sarah McWilliams, Conference Operations Coordinator, is a big part of keeping us all connected as she hammers out all the details that keep these various ministries working together so smoothly. We are so thankful for her gifts. Our hope in the coming months is to be out in our local churches and extension ministries inspiring people to engage these priorities and offering whatever resources we can to help you make disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World.
Respectfully submitted, Rev. Ashley Davis Director of Connectional Ministries JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 321 District Reports Baypines District The Baypines District has had another successful year as we have expanded our ministries and continued to engage our congregants - encouraging them and ourselves to grow as transformed disciples. We continue to be challenged because our district is so diverse geographically, but we are finding ways to overcome that. We are excited about the many things that are going on in the district. Below are some of the highlights from this past year.
We have had turnover in a number of key positions in the district this year. Stephanie Diehl, who served as the District Administrative Assistant, left us at the end of the year. We will miss her greatly, but we welcome Tracie Strickland with open arms as she transitions into that role. The district is planning to hire Rev. Alecia Glaize as our new District Missioner. We are very excited about this new position and we anticipate the great things that Alecia will accomplish. We say goodbye to Peggy Branch who has served tirelessly for years as the chair of our Lay Servant Ministries. We welcome Jennifer Robertson into that role and look forward to working with her. We also say goodbye to Don Rose as our co- DRC (Disaster Response Coordinator) for the southern half of the District. Clark Ratcliffe will assume Don’s role and will join Rev. Jason Thrower as our two co- DRC’s. (Jason focuses on the northern half of the district.) We are both pleased and excited about the team of folks in place in the Baypines District for 2019. We know that Kingdom work will be done, and that lives will be transformed.
The district is in great financial shape and we are excited about that. We continue to be debt-free as a district and our apportionments continue to rise. As a result, our missional giving also continues to increase. We have added line items for local missions and for scholarships to our annual budget as a result of our financial position. We look forward to the new opportunities and challenges that our District Missioner will bring before us.
Our United Methodist Men and United Methodist Women continue to be a strong force in our district. They are active and involved in many local, district and conference projects. As we look to the future, our continued goal is to have an active UMM and UMW group in each church. Our Lay Servant Ministries are thriving in the district. We have many trained Lay Servants who are active in and provide leadership in their local churches, teach classes, lead various ministries, and even serve as pastors of local churches. We praise the efforts of our Lay Servants and the District Lay Servant Ministries leadership team.
Our missions programs are thriving, and we celebrate them. Many of our churches are actively engaged in missions in their local communities, in our state 322 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE and nation, and to the ends of the earth. This year, we will again host a district trip to Costa Rica and a district trip to the Florida panhandle region where we will continue our efforts in Hurricane Michael relief and recovery. We are also investigating ways that we can engage with Rev. Eric Soard in his efforts as the Sustainable Development Director for the United Methodist Church of Tanzania (Africa).
Another very exciting accomplishment in our district is our partnership with the San Pedro Mission, serving the Hispanic community in Baldwin County. We have committed financially to the church, and we were able to help them acquire land for a church building. We are now actively engaged in helping them raise the needed funds to begin construction of a church facility. Our overall goal is to help them become self-sufficient and a chartered United Methodist Church.
Blue Lake Camp, which is located in our district, continues to do well and continues to improve its facilities.
Our district has responded in many great ways to the devastating Hurricane Michael disaster in the Florida panhandle. Many of our trained and badged ERT’s have been engaged for this undertaking. We have great leadership for disaster response at the district level and we will continue to train and equip individual responders and teams.
It has been a great year for the Baypines District, and we are so thankful for the leadership of our District Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Darren McClellan. We look forward to moving forward, with his continued guidance and encouragement, as we seek new ways to be transformed disciples of Christ.
Patrick G. Shubird, Chairperson District CORE Team
Dothan District Under the steadfast leadership and guidance of our district superintendent, Rev. Sara Shaver, the Dothan District is moving forward and setting new goals. We are striving to be obedient to the Lord’s will and are committed to searching for opportunities to serve Him. The District Leadership Committee meets monthly in the district superintendent’s office to explore, discuss, and plan activities for the district. Both clergy and laity serve on this eight-member committee led by Rev. Shaver.
The Dothan District uses a unique approach to get the New Year off on a positive note; each January the churches in the district have an opportunity to participate in “Super Sunday.” This eclectic event is held in one of the larger churches and JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 323 features a time of worship and music before the participants depart to smaller breakout sessions. In January 2018 the Enterprise First United Methodist Church hosted “Super Sunday.” Seminars included: Church Safety, The World of a Small Church, Missions, Respite Care, Hospitality, PPR/SPR Committee, and Are We Being and Doing All of What God Demands Now? All the speakers were well prepared; the participants gathered vital information to share with their particular churches.
The Habitat for Humanity home located in Elba was another successful project completed by the district in 2018. Money was raised for materials and labor was donated.
Covenant United Methodist Church in Dothan hosted the Steagall Seminary Scholarship Foundation regional dinner. Several area churches participated, and a number of scholarship recipients gave testimony of how the scholarship fund had helped them.
Dr. Victor Dingus came to initiate a district-wide workshop called Next Steps in 2017. Next Steps is a simple method designed to teach congregational leaders how to use creative approaches to build relationships inside as well as outside the church with the goal of bringing new people to Christ. Next Steps continues with several churches across the district participating.
Hurricane Michael devastated our area in October 2018. Fifteen district churches donated snacks and water that was delivered to the Panama City area a day after Michael made landfall. Some area churches donated a variety of cleaning supplies, gloves, and face masks that were packed into five-gallon buckets and delivered to the Panhandle. Other participating churches contributed an assortment of items such as blankets, clothing, and food.
The basis of the entire program and organization of the Dothan District United Methodist Women focuses on mission through opportunities for spiritual growth, opportunities through education, and opportunities to serve. They continue to be strong advocates for women, children, and youth. While working for justice through service and advocacy, our district United Methodist Women have concentrated on four priorities: climate justice, maternal and child health, criminalization of communities of color, mass incarceration, and economic inequality. Children’s and expectant mothers’ health is of particular interest. The group accepted and truly embraced as a hands-on mission project, Days for Girls. This particular project is making a difference for women and girls all over the world in a meaningful and practical way. They sponsored workshops, large and small, and shipped products to the National Days for Girls office twice in 2018.
The United Methodist Women continue to be an active and a viable source of 324 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE “Faith, Hope, and Love in Action” throughout our communities in the Dothan District as well as globally. Mission studies give United Methodist Women an opportunity to study current issues impacting society with specific consideration to the responsibilities of women in fulfilling the mission work of the church. The Dothan District hosted two mission studies and participated in the Mission u event. Mission u offered the group an opportunity to study current issues impacting today’s society.
The Dothan District United Methodist Women also fund a scholarship for college students; the number of Mattie Kolb Scholarships given depends on donations. In 2018 one scholarship was awarded to an eligible student. We are thankful for the United Methodist Women in the Dothan District and appreciate their dedication to service.
The churches in the Dothan District are looking forward with anticipation to 2019. To be sure, we will do our best to follow God’s will in our lives and prayerfully respond to His call and follow Him.

Marianna/Panama City District The Marianna-Panama City district is focused on the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Throughout the district, our congregations are making their unique contributions to the work of the kingdom. Here are some highlights and updates on ministry in the Marianna-Panama City District in 2018:
• Panama City First UMC hosted this year’s District Training Event on Sunday, February 18, 2018. Dr. Victor Dingus led a workshop entitled “The Next Step”, offering support to our small churches who want to take the next step in revitalization and community impact. Celeste Eubanks, conference Director of Leadership Strategies, led the workshop “Church to Community Initiative”. Rev. Doug Pennington led a workshop on finance and stewardship.
• In preparation for the 2019 special called General Conference, the Marianna-Panama City district held three Courageous Conversation events in March and April. Parker UMC, Good News UMC and Marianna FUMC hosted these workshops. In September, Bishop David Graves led a town hall meeting for the MPC district at Woodlawn UMC.
• A training event for Lay Members to annual conference was held at St. Andrew UMC in May in preparation for annual conference in June. At JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 325 the 2018 AWF Annual Conference, Red Hill UMC was awarded the “One Matters Award” for professions of faith. Red Hill is a small church with 34 members. In 2017 they received 17 members by profession of faith.
• The District Lay Ministry continues to grow strong under the leadership of Linda Hornsby. There were 7 Lay Servants who have taken Basic only, 60 Certified Lay Servants, 21 Certified Lay Speakers, 88 in LSM on 12/31/2018. Two training events were held this year: April 27-28, hosted by St Andrew UMC in Panama City, attended by 29 students and 4 instructors. September 14-15, hosted by Parker United Methodist Church in Parker, attended by 27 students and 4 instructors. Lay Speaker/Servant Ministry is critical to the ongoing kingdom work of the Marianna-Panama City District.
• On October 10, 2018 our district was devastated by Hurricane Michael. About half of our churches sustained some level of damage; in some cases, catastrophic. Some churches may not be able to reopen. In the aftermath of the storm, our congregations were shining lights in their communities. Good News UMC and Woodlawn UMC opened immediately as major distribution centers. Many other churches were involved in distributing food, water and supplies to their communities. Virtually all our churches participated in hurricane recovery efforts in their communities, even those badly damaged. It will take years for the Marianna-Panama City district to recover, both structurally and financially, from this unprecedented disaster.
• The AWF Conference Disaster Response & Recovery Ministry, led by Rob Haynes, and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) responded to Hurricane Michael immediately with supplies, work teams, logistical support and advice for recovery. UMCOR has established an office in Panama City with a staff who will be working full time on disaster recovery for years to come. Rev. Chris Ackerman was appointed Hurricane Michael Recovery Director.
• Churches all across the Alabama West Florida Conference have overwhelmed us with their generosity. Volunteer work teams, supplies and financial contributions have poured into our district. Our conference staff in Montgomery has worked tirelessly on our behalf. We have truly experienced the connection at its best.
We expect the ministry of the Marianna-Panama City district to be dominated by the Hurricane Michael recovery in the foreseeable future. This will provide abundant outreach opportunities to our communities. We anticipate God’s strength to show up in our weakness. And we trust that he will work in all things for our good and his glory.

The 2019 District Conference adopted the following mission, vision, and priorities as presented by our District Strategy Team.
Our Mission: The mission of the Montgomery-Opelika District is to empower the local church and extension ministries to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Our Vision The Montgomery-Opelika District will recruit, equip, and deploy healthy lay and clergy leaders; we will provide tools and techniques to engage current spiritual and societal issues in relevant, fruitful, and faithful ways.

Our Priorities • Promote mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy clergy • Provide leadership development for laity and clergy • Foster new places for new people • Focus spiritual leadership around race and diversity • Connect spiritual leaders to relevant resources and tools JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 329 Montgomery-Prattville District The Montgomery-Prattville District started the year at Metropolitan UMC for our District Conference. New district officers were elected, and the 2019 budget was approved.
We experience a transition in the district at the Annual Conference, as Reverend John Brooks became the Director of Multicultural Ministries for the Conference and Reverend Allen Newton became our new superintendent. We had the opportunity to share in recognizing Reverend Brooks and his wife Reda for their leadership and to welcome Reverend Allen Newton and his family as they transition from the Demopolis District.
Through prayer, learning, serving, Mission/Outreach, advocacy, and community building we have endeavored to promote the mission of The United Methodist Church with “Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.” and respond to what God is calling us to do as follows:
Advocacy/Communication: We must stay informed as to issues that impact the life of the church.
District Superintendent Reverend Allen Newton initiated 12 at 12. This was a series of Noon luncheons reserved for the first twelve replies held throughout the district where clergy and laity were invited to join Reverend Newton for conversation and open dialogue with questions and answers time.
Bishop David Graves encouraged all to attend Courageous Conversations. We had very good participation. This was a time for faithful ways to listen and learn more about human sexuality in the United Methodist Church in an appreciative style in a safe space.
We were informed at a Town Hall Meeting with a time of spiritual reflection and centering. A video was shared which highlighted the specifics of each of the three proposed plans to be presented at the special-called General Conference followed by question/answer time with Bishop Graves.
Also, district newsletters and emails were posted and sent regularly containing updates regarding the special-called General Conference and other district and conference information. Church and Society’s Annual Legislative Prayer Breakfast of which Bishop David Graves was the speaker was held at the Alabama State House. Several clergy and laity attended. The breakfast was a time to be in prayer with our lawmakers and elected officials that their decisions would be in accordance with God’s will for our state. 330 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE We gained a better understanding about the issues of Predatory Lending, about the harm caused and what churches can do to help. Additionally, a brief overview was provided of the legislation adopted by the Alabama Legislature focused on Payday and Title Lending.
Spiritual Growth: Our church family includes many different people. It is important to discover the skills that help us work more harmoniously with each other.
Disability Awareness Sunday was celebrated recognizing the gifts and graces of persons with disabilities calling for full inclusion of all persons in churches and communities
Several churches held Lenten Luncheons with inspirational speakers and times of prayer and fellowship. Good Friday services.
Churches throughout the district recognized and celebrated Laity Sunday bringing awareness of the role of the laity to the congregation and to the community. This year’s them was H.O.P.E. A special email was sent to local church lay leaders with information to share with their congregations.
Several clergy and laity participated in the conference annual event, “A Place at the Table”, a gathering of ethnic believers seeking intentional conversations about inclusion and unity throughout the United Methodist church. This year’s focus was “Cultural Competence”.
Learning Opportunities: It is important to continue to develop leadership skills and to discover or rediscover spiritual gifts
A district-wide Lay Leader Boot Camp was provided at Perry Hill United Methodist Church. It was a time of learning and getting acquainted. Reverend John Brooks presented “Discovering & Developing Your Spiritual Gifts”, Lay Serving Ministries was led by District Director Tom Crenshaw and I led “Lay Leader 101: What Does the Lay Leader Do?”
A congregational Care Training Workshop for Laity was held at Montgomery FUMC. This workshop equipped laity to be empowered to make hospital and home-bound visits, telephone persons in need of contact, meet one-on-one with persons in need of a listening ear for prayer and encouragement, offer support to grieving families, and proactively seed to encourage and care for persons in need.
An Emergency Response Training course readied participant to be of assistance in the event of a disaster learning the “Dos and Don’ts” and the way voluntary organizations work together. The course was open to participants age 12 through senior adults. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 331 Our district Lay Servant Ministry is blessed to have dedicated Lay Servants who are willing to provide leadership in various ministries and filling pulpits. In 2018, Lay Servants provided leadership in 35 congregations across the district and delivered well over 250 sermons. We have two Lay Speakers serving in pulpit supply. We appreciate the leadership Tom Crenshaw has provided.
United Methodist Women continue to be an active and viable source of “Faith, Hope, Love in Action” throughout our communities in the district as well as globally. This year several women attend UMW Assembly, celebrating 150 years of mission and service. Assembly was held in Columbus, Ohio at the Greater Columbus Convention Center with over 7,000 women from around the world were in attendance. It is our hope that every church in our district will soon have functioning United Methodist Women Units. We are thankful to Reda Brooks, district president of United Methodist Women for her service.
All over the district churches participated in the Great Day of Service projects such as working in local food pantries, yard work, building wheelchair ramps or working at local outreach agencies with the purpose of seeing to the needs of our community, connecting with individuals, community agencies and other churches.
Mission/Outreach: We are to provide services to people who may not otherwise have access to those services.
We were given the opportunity to participate in Sound the Alarm, services of fire and smoke alarm installations in neighborhoods where local fire departments respond to more calls.
We shared the love of Christ in our community by providing goodie bags for soldiers to the them as they were deployed, prepared healthy lunches for kids in the community through summer sack lunch programs, shoe boxes were decorated and filled for Operation Christmas Child. Many cans of food were collected for food pantries to name a few.
Montgomery-Prattville District collected UMCOR Relief Kits and also responded to the conference Disaster Response and Recovery Ministry request for assistance to provide cleaning buckets and hygiene kits for those affected by hurricane events.
Community Building: The Church is to be a community of diverse believers, working and serving together for the transformation of the world.
The Annual Multicultural Event promoting diversity and unity was held at Locust Bluff UMC. The event featured ethnic cultures, tasty food, and artifacts from 332 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE around the world.
Communities of Transformation hosted Pancakes with Pastors. Local pastors served pancakes and Community of Transformation volunteers and participants served as greeters and assisted. The churches and volunteers who work through Communities of Transformation to help individuals order their lives continues to make a profound difference.
Capitol Heights UMC initiated a Community Lunch to share the love of Christ to all who come.
Festival on the Corner was held at Perry Hill UMC this community event featured music, fellowship, food & fun. This event was sponsored by Perry Hill UMC, St. Luke UMC, Locust Bluff UMC, The Source and Capitol Heights UMC.
“Confronting Racism” with Bishop David Graves, featured Deaconess Clara Ester sharing her personal experiences with the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to the present. This event was very informative and well attended.
Also, a Race Relations six-weeks session based on the book Fear of the Other: No Fear in Love by Rev. William H. Willimon was held at Montgomery FUMC. The sessions were engaging and thought provocative. I encourage everyone to read this book and engage in dialogue.
May we be emboldened to recover the mission and the spirit Jesus left us. I encourage you to recall Philippians 4:6-7 “6. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 333 Leadership Team Reports Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry Our seven Wesley Foundations continue to be the United Methodist Church pres- ence on the campuses of Auburn University, Troy University, University of West Alabama, Alabama State University, University of South Alabama, Tuskegee University and the University West Florida/Pensacola State. This year the USA Wesley Foundation received a new Campus Minister, Clay Smith. UWA Wesley Foundation also received a new Campus Minister, Rev. Alan Broome. We rejoice in all the ways God is moving through these ministries. There have been bap- tisms, professions of faith and countless acts of mission and service.
As we continue our work, the BHECM has set new priorities for the coming year. We are putting in place new measures to help our Campus Ministries be more ac- countable. We are also stressing the need for our Campus Ministries to be diverse in their funding measures. We are also emphasizing the need for a clear path of Discipleship that fits their unique contexts. It is important to reach new students, develop their faith, put them in places of leadership and then to send them out in mission and ministry.
Thank you for your continued support of our Campus Ministries. They are an important part of our conference and the place where many students hear and strengthen their calling to full time ministry in the United Methodist Church.
Respectfully submitted, Rev. Jenni Hendrix, Chair Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry
Birmingham-Southern College 2018 Annual Conference Chaplain Report Year 2017 was a year of transition for Religious Life at Birmingham-Southern College. Our office assistant of seven years moved to a new job, and our beloved Laura Sisson retired after 22 years of service to the college. At the end of June 2017, we welcomed Kathryn Davis as our new office assistant. In August 2017, Quinten Lochmann joined our office as the new associate director of Religious Life. Similar to Laura’s role, Quinten works primarily with our United Methodist churches and students, focusing on the distribution and management of the various United Methodist scholarships. Kathryn and Quinten have already been hard at work and have created an online application form for United Methodist scholarships at BSC! In addition, Quinten has moved into the role of BSC Wesley Fellowship director. I previously served in that role, but instead now direct the Pre-Ministry Covenant Group which consists of about a dozen students each year who meet weekly to participate in conversations, study, and prayer meant to help 334 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE them in their ministry discernment process.
We are currently working on a few new initiatives to expand our current programming including partnering with local UM congregations to host a retreat each semester for Wesley Fellowship students, and developing new means of funding Wesley Fellowship and the Pre-Ministry Covenant Group. Wesley Fellowship now requires sustaining funding as well as resources to host special learning, retreat, and service events. The Pre-Ministry Covenant Group also now requires funding for existing learning activities. We are seeking to provide our pre-elder track students with the opportunity to attend General Conference so they are more connected with and aware of the circumstances and the processes of the world-wide UMC. As always, I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the UMC and Birmingham- Southern College; and our staff team greatly appreciates all the churches and individuals who support our ministry with their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
Enrollment: After welcoming 375 new students in the fall of 2017 that included 349 first-years and 26 transfers, Birmingham-Southern College expects to grow enrollment with the tuition reset announced in the fall of 2017 (effective for class entering Fall 2018). Read more about the tuition reset at https://www. bsc.edu/lowertuition/index.html. This past year admissions personnel visited more than 715 high schools and attended more than 450 college fairs during recruitment travel. Reaction to the Tuition Reset has been overwhelmingly positive. Recruiters report that reactions from prospective parents and students have been very positive and we are seeing an impact with increases to both first-year and transfer applications. We have heard many references to “we had crossed you off our list because of price” or “now I can look at you.” Recapturing this audience was a primary focus of the tuition reset and recruiters saw significantly more student and parent traffic at college fairs and High School Visits. The tuition reset is having its desired impact in attracting more student and family interest in BSC from across the state, and beyond. Early indications are positive with more applications and admitted students at the time of this writing. More information will be shared in the future once our enrollment is determined for next year, but the current trends are very exciting.
Bridge to the Future Strategic Planning: In addition to the reset, the College’s faculty and staff have engaged in some significant strategic visioning work for the future of BSC. Among ideas being explored are the creation of an innovative first-year seminar, which will both enhance new students’ ability to be successful at BSC and help connect them to the community in which they live and study. Changes in how faculty advises students and the deep integration of experiential learning experiences for all students, like internships and student research, are on JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 335 the horizon. New programs and collaborations added during the current academic year include new academic majors in: Creative and Applied Computing, Architectural Studies and Academic Distinctions in Poverty Studies and Public Health Studies. Additionally partnerships with peer institutions, such as the dual-degree nursing program with UAB and a 3-3 law program with Cumberland School of Law and many articulation agreements developed with community colleges in the region have been added this year.
As always, you are invited to bring students to events and receptions on campus and in your area. Indeed, your continued support through participating directly in recruitment activities, reaching out to prospective students, or simply referring them to us is deeply appreciated. Feel free to contact me or the Admission office for event schedule or to meet the recruiter for your area.

Huntingdon College Creating a Culture of Call at Huntingdon College Calling is a primary missional focus of Huntingdon College. As a College of the Church, Huntingdon seeks to integrate robust academic disciplines with deep connections to faith and service. The College asks of our students: “What are you called to do with your life?” Huntingdon students receive a broad- based liberal arts education preparing them for excellence in a wide variety of careers -- ministry, law, medicine, business, public service, non-profit management, teaching, coaching, criminal justice, the fine arts -- rooted in thoughtful, intentional study and conversation around vocation that begins with a foundational vocational discernment course taken by all students as a part of the core curriculum.
The emphasis on vocation at Huntingdon extends beyond the academic program to include Campus Ministries and the Huntingdon Leadership Academy (HLA). The Reverend Rhett Butler ‘13, Chaplain of the College, leads all aspects of Campus Ministries, including two weekly worship services, small groups, student mentoring, fellowship events, service projects and pastoral care. Every aspect of Campus Ministries is informed by the Chaplain’s desire to help young adults 336 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE discern their calling.
The Huntingdon Leadership Academy (HLA) is a week-long summer camp experience for high school students wishing to discern their call to ministry or Christian leadership. Directed by the Reverend Macon Armistead ‘14, HLA’s chief focus is that of deepening students’ understanding of vocation -- what it means to be called. HLA is funded almost entirely by the Lilly Endowment, as a part of the Youth Theology Network through the Forum for Theological Exploration. The Huntingdon Leadership Academy also seeks to create bridge partnerships with local churches, so that a culture of calling can be created at the local level around the ministries specific and unique to a particular church. Students attend HLA for a week in the summer to explore their vocation and what it means to worship a God who calls. When they return to their churches, are those conversations continuing?
The Huntingdon Leadership Academy -- in partnership with the Huntingdon College administration, staff leadership of the Alabama - West Florida Conference, and the AWF Board of Ordained Ministry -- is implementing Culture of Call, a ministry to the churches of the Alabama - West Florida Conference and the North Alabama Conference. Culture of Call is an opportunity for local churches to join the holy work of nurturing and equipping young people called to ministry and Christian leadership. With joint funding from the Lilly Endowment, Huntingdon College, and the Alabama - West Florida Conference, HLA representatives participated in a January peer- learning retreat at First United Methodist Church, Lakeland, Florida. Activities included observing the widespread culture of call embedded in the life of FUMC Lakeland and engaging in discussions with FUMC Lakeland staff, Florida Annual Conference staff, Florida Southern College faculty and students, and ministers and laity from the Lakeland area. The Culture of Call Leadership Team includes Huntingdon College President, the Reverend J. Cameron West; FUMC Montgomery Associate Pastor, the Reverend Gillian Lisenby Walters ‘08; Aldersgate Montgomery Senior Pastor, the Reverend Dr. Brian Miller; AWF Conference Director of Leadership Strategies, Ms. Celeste Eubanks; AWF Conference Director of Connectional Ministries, the Reverend Ashley Davis; and HLA Director, the Reverend Macon Armistead ‘14. During 2019, local churches in both the Alabama - West Florida Conference and the North Alabama Conference will be invited to a one day Culture of Call gathering on the Huntingdon College Campus. The mission of this event will be to connect with specifically identified local churches in both conferences to develop and grow a culture of calling within these faith communities. Facilitators at this day apart will foster ongoing relationships with each partner church through consultation visits and evaluation reports to provide for analysis and feedback on how each unique congregation may best finds its way in creating a culture of call, with a long range goal of creating a widespread network of JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 337 Culture of Call congregations.
“Developing Principled Christian Leaders” is one of the four ministry priorities of the worldwide United Methodist Church. A principled Christian leader is a called Christian leader, whether lay or clergy. Huntingdon College, as a ministry of the United Methodist Church since its founding in 1854, is a place where creating a culture of call is not only a priority but is at the heart of what we do educationally. Huntingdon prepares young people for a life of leadership across its academic programs and in its new and groundbreaking ministries through Culture of Call. We ask of each student, “What are you called to do with your life?” We ask of each student, “Who are you called to be?” And we guide our students in an intentional process of exploring and answering those questions. Vocation is about being -- being called, being a disciple, being who God made each of us to be. Vocation is about community -- a community of faithful support, exploration, and authentic honesty. In building a community of vocation, in building a Culture of Call, Huntingdon is leading the way for our United Methodist Church.

Alabama State University Wesley Foundation Greetings Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I am ecstatic about sharing the wonderful ministry opportunities that the student leaders of the Wesley Foundation at Alabama State University has participated in this year. As in the past, each year is unique and divinely designed, offering fresh opportunities to connect with others while spreading God’s love through sharing our faith, worship and gifts. This past year has been one of triumphs and great transitions; nevertheless, because of the wonderful contributions from members of this conference we were able to continue the mission of Jesus Christ on the campus of Alabama State University.
This year our student leaders decided to expand their reach in the community by providing additional ministry initiatives on and off campus. Reaching students through social action initiatives has elevated our students to take on the task of transforming the world around them. We are the salt of the earth, therefore, ASU students are called to season the earth with our “love in action” approach to ministry. Partnering with local non-profit organizations who are vested in addressing the social conditions of our student population has enhanced our ability to create effective programming for students who would have otherwise chosen alternative paths. Like Christ commanded his followers prior to his 338 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE ascension in the synoptic Gospel of Luke, we are not only witnesses of God’s wonderful works, we are also called to do greater work and pass it forward. The ASU Wesley had passed the love of God forward by mentoring residents and preparing meals for Brantwood Children’s Home, serving as volunteers for Capital Heights UMC’s afterschool program, hosting hygiene product drives for the homeless, participating in beautification projects for local Montgomery schools, and creating courageous campus discipleship initiatives.
The aforementioned tasks were not achieved alone. Because of the leadership of our ASU Wesley Board and the support and guidance of the late Dr. Vivian D. Shields, our former advisor, we were able to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ while coping with her loss. For the past six years, I spent countless days in Dr. DeShields’ office listening to her explain how theological education, “is just as important as a formal college education. Campus ministry gives these children balance and offers them a place to feel safe when they are away from home”. Although we miss Dr. DeShields dearly, her legacy will live on through the Wesley Foundation and the Dr. DeShields Scholarship Fund. For this reason, I have hope in a beautiful feature of the Wesley Foundation at ASU and the work of radical transformation on the campus of Alabama State University.
Progressive Love, Rev, Dr. Charity Starr Mitchell

Tuskegee Univeristy I am excited to share in the ministry of Christ via the Wesley Foundation at Tuskegee University. Serving as Campus Minister and Director of Tuskegee Wesley has been a great honor and privilege. I am in awe that God loves me enough to allow me to serve with such a dedicated Board of Directors and an enthusiastic group of young adults.
In the Fall of 2017, I was appointed as the new director of the Tuskegee Wesley Foundation. Upon my arrival I found a committed group of 15 students who met every Tuesday night for bible study and fellowship in the Tuskegee University Chapel. As of January 2019, the Wes has had an average attendance of 39 students at our weekly Tuesday night Bible Study. The Tuesday Night Bible study is our main ministry event, and while we are happy for the increase in numbers, our greatest joy has been watching the students grow spiritually. Through corporate worship and study, they have learned to embrace each other as family while sharing the love of Christ on the campus of Tuskegee University and abroad.
Through the Tuskegee Wesley Foundation, students this year have worked in the local food pantry, planned and planted a community garden, donated 300lbs of fresh garden produce to the Macon County food bank and Tuskegee University students, helped with the launch of the Tuskegee University Food pantry(Tiger’s Den), sponsored the education of a child in Uganda, supported the expansion of a telemedicine program in the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa, provided study bags for over 400 university students, participated in Operation Christmas Child, supplied over 65 United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) school supply kits to Bay Haven Charter Academy in the aftermath of hurricane Michael, and so much more. We have witnessed students move from doubt to faith, from knowing little scripture to sharing their faith, from no church JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 341 participation to active participation, and from rejecting others to embracing them. We look forward with great anticipation to watching God continue to move through the lives of our students.
We thank the Alabama/West Florida Conference for your continued support, prayers and love.
Yours in Service, Rev. Audrey Rodgers Director/Campus Minister Tuskegee Wesley Foundation

Grace&Peace Clay Smith Director/ Campus Minister University of South Alabama Wesley Foundation
University of West Alabama Wesley Foundation Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I am thankful to be serving our Lord Jesus, the students of The University of West Alabama through the ministries of the Wesley Foundation, and our sister churches of the Demopolis District as well as the two churches I pastor, Eutaw UMC and Salem UMC. Our college students are such an inspiration with their enthusiasm of the Lord, and God blesses me weekly with their desire for spiritual JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 343 growth and their sweet smiles, laughter, and hunger to learn more.
We have celebrated God-inspired growth in the ministry this past year, and I began in my part-time role of Wesley Director last May. Churches have enthusiastically responded to feed the students weekly on Monday nights, and this partnership in the Great Commission to reach and disciple students for Christ is invaluable.
We Worship weekly on Monday evenings, and we have a core group of 25 students each week and average 35-40 including the special events and special night of outreach. We have hosted the ladies’ softball team, members of the men’s football team for special outreach and mission’s nights, the cheerleader team on campus, welcomed Rev. Chad Goss, former Alabama wide-receiver who spoke to the UWAS football team, ladies basketball team, and Wesley worship night in addition to partnering with churches locally to speak at the Greene Co. H.S.
Last Fall we partnered with FCA, The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and brought in their regional director to speak at the Wesley, speak to the men’s Bible study group of the UWA football team at their “Men of Integrity” weekly Bible study time on Monday at 3:45-4:30. God opened this door of ministry as I was allowed to shepherd this group of men in their study of God’s Word. FCA donated $1,000 in free “True Competitor” devotional books for the athletes and coaches that we distributed through the Wesley. Two of our college young ladies followed the Lord’s leadership and were inspired to start a new FCA chapter at the new charter school and through this partnership, they multiplied the ministry of the Wesley in our community.
In September, we sponsored the “See You at the Pole” prayer emphasis on campus, in addition to our Football outreach. We partnered with the Gideons through our church partnerships and distributed 200 Freshman welcome bags with snacks, gospel tracts, and “Life” Bibles incoming students. In October, we hosted a Fall Festival with over 75 attending for worship and fun on some huge inflatables the students enjoyed. Students decorated a trailer and vehicles to promote the Wesley in the Homecoming parade at UWA. Students led worship in many of our local churches, taught weekly youth classes in a local church, spoke and shared testimonies at mid-week and Sunday services, and have led Student- led Bible studies.
The Toy Drive at the end of the semester was a special night of missions and fellowship, and the Wesley got to serve 7 families and approximately 20 needy children who would not have Christmas presents. We had approximately 100 people attend and partnered with groups all over campus. Sororities made cookies, students decorated the Wesley, we sang Christmas carols together with the families, and played with the students and children who attended. Our 344 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE students shared the love of Christ in a tangible way and gave gifts themselves to wrap up the Fall semester. From this partnership we also distributed clothes to some college students and young people in need with a food drive from a few local churches. This Summer we are planning a sports camp as an evangelistic and missions event for local children to share God’s love.
Discipleship and the teaching of God’s Word is a focus of our ministry. We studied several different topics this past year including the Lordship of Christ, having a heart for worship, resisting temptation, knowing and understanding God’s plan in our lives, communion and the sacrifice of Christ, dating relationships and following God’s plan, having a thankful heart, biblical friendships and their importance, the importance of obedience, and the authority of God’s Word. Through your support and faithfulness, you have allowed us to follow the Lord in discipleship, missions, worship, fellowship, and outreach/evangelism, and we have seen students make life-long commitments to Christ this year.
Thank you! And, please keep us in your prayers this next year! Gratefully, Rev. Alan Broome Pastor Eutaw UMC and Salem UMC Director, UWA Wesley Foundation

University of West Florida/Pensacola State College Wesley Foundation Highlights of the Year: 1. The best of every year is watching college students make decisions to stay close to God like the one we baptized in the Gulf. 2. We have a new Assistant Director named Katherine Kupar who is helping us take it to the next level. 3. Our mission trip to Texas to do hurricane relief was a great bonding and experience. 4. Helping local churches by having our band lead worship and helping youth groups. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 345
Programing: We meet twice a week to make disciples through a time of worship and Biblical study at UWF. On Mondays we look at how scripture relates to us. On Thursday nights we discuss current topics that relate to college students and how that effects our faith. Mondays are at 5:30 with a dinner. Thursdays are at 8pm. At both events our Wesley band plays and then we have a discussion based study. We also meet for times of fellowship like cookouts, beach parties, and mission projects.
Why Campus Ministry is Important: We see our ministry as a way to keep young people connected to the church after graduating from high school. College can be a very pivotal time where students are far from home and making bid decisions about life. The Wesley Foundation is there to come along side and encourage them in their faith.
What You Can Do to Help: First pray for us. Invite us to your church to share about our ministry. Inform your graduating students to get involved in campus ministry. Please consider partnering with us through your financial support by missions donations, budget line items, the Advance Special, and your connectional giving. We want to stay connected to the local church so please invite our band to come worship with you and invite our students or campus minister to come speak at a service. We greatly appreciate your support.

In God’s Love, Rev. Stuart Worth, Campus Minister UWF/PSC Wesley Foundation 346 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Board of Laity Your Board of Laity of the Alabama West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church is dedicated to helping laity understand their individual and collective call of Laity in Ministry. – “The ministry of the laity flows from a commitment to Christ’s outreaching love. Lay members of The United Methodist Church are, by history and calling, active advocates of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every layperson is called to carry out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18- 20); every layperson is called to be missional. The witness of the laity, their Christ-like examples of everyday living as well as the sharing of their own faith experiences of the gospel, is the primary evangelistic ministry through which all people will come to know Christ and The United Methodist Church will fulfill its mission.” ¶ 127 of the 2016 Book of Discipline.
Lay persons who are actively involved in ministry in their local church, community and beyond are the greatest asset of the church. We are on the front line for making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We are instrumental in helping lay persons recognize their gifts and talents and hear their call into the ordained ministry of the clergy. We have an awesome responsibility!
One of the highlights for the Conference Board of Laity each year is the Laity Banquet at Annual Conference. In 2018, we were honored and blessed to have Mrs. Nancy Graves as our speaker. She gave a very open and honest talk about her life as the wife of a Bishop from their courtship, marriage and ministry. She shared a few funny secrets about our Bishop, proving that Bishops are human too! We are truly blessed to have Bishop and Mrs. Graves as part of our Alabama West Florida Conference family. Rev. Gina Bryan and friends were scheduled for our music entertainment. At the last minute, Rev. Bryan was hospitalized with a serious heart condition. She was concerned about letting us down, but her friends, including her husband, Robert, covered for her. The music was excellent, inspiring and uplifting. We are thankful to report that Rev. Bryan is recovered and in good health. We also want to thank so many of our clergy friends for their support this event, truly a partnership in ministry.
Your Conference Board of Laity is dedicated to leading and training laity in understanding the call into lay ministry. The Board met in May to continue our training in leadership skills. We hope to bring that training to all laity in our conference. We are looking at offering a retreat weekend and offering district trainings.
“Fear not, I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1
This past year has been filled with uncertainty and strife. We have worked hard JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 347 to keep our focus on recognizing and celebrating the Ministry of the Laity. Many Lay persons answered the call of ministry in establishing work teams and relief efforts for the Hurricane Disaster Response and for the Disaster Response for the Wetumpka tornado recoveries. We will continue working in these areas until the job is finished and those who have be displaced are finally home.Thank you for your response! We hear of Lay led ministries for Celebrate Recovery, Communities of Transformation, after school tutoring programs, community meals to feed the hungry, caregivers retreats, ministry to those with disabilities, bicycle ministries, literacy ministries, ministries to provide children with school supplies and clothes, backpack ministries to provide weekend food for children, ministries to help with provide a prom experience that many wouldn’t be able to afford, the ministry of becoming foster parents, prayer shawl ministries, providing food, clothing and toys for Christmas, and the list is endless. These are but a few of the ways the laity of the Alabama West Florida Conference have answered call of The Ministry of the Laity and you have the heart felt thanks and appreciation of the Conference Board of Laity Members.

Lay Servant Ministries Lay Servant Ministries continues to play a vital role in our Conference. The program continues to be one of the most significant lay leadership programs available in the United Methodist connection There are three categories of lay servants under Lay Servant Ministries: Certified Lay Servants, Certified Lay Speakers, and Certified Lay Ministers.
A Certified Lay Servant is a professing member of a local church or charge or a baptized participant of a recognized United Methodist collegiate ministry who desires to serve the church and who knows and is committed to Scripture and the doctrine, heritage, organization, and life of The United Methodist Church. This is a person who has received specific training to witness to the Christian faith through spoken communication, to lead within a church and community, and to provide caring ministry. The Certified Lay Servant must have approval of his/her Senior Minister before beginning the process and must take the Basic Course and one Advanced Course.
A Certified Lay Speaker is a Certified Lay Servant whose call has been affirmed by the Conference Committee on Lay Servant Ministries to serve the church in pulpit supply. In addition to the Basic Course, one must complete the following courses to become a Certified lay Speaker: Leading Worship, Leading Prayer, Discovering Spiritual Gifts, Preaching, United Methodist Heritage, and United Methodist Polity. A Certified Lay Minister is a Certified Lay Servant or Certified Lay Missioner 348 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE who is called and equipped to conduct public worship, care for the congregation, assist in program leadership, develop new and existing faith communities, preach the Word, lead small groups, or establish community outreach ministries as part of a ministry team with the supervision and support of a clergy person. Approval is granted through the Board of Ordained Ministry and assignment is made by the District Superintendent. A track of study is required to become a Certified Lay Minister. All three categories have annual renewal, education, and reporting requirements. We are especially appreciative to Rev. June Jernigan, Conference Director of Ministerial Services, for her work in coordinating the Certified Lay Minister program.
Training events are held throughout the year hosted by the different districts. Our Conference Committee has also approved our lay servants being allowed to take several of the advanced courses online through BeADisciple.com.
During 2018, we were asked to substitute for clergy 1,404 times. Our lay speakers spoke in 151 different churches. Our districts held 10 training events during the year. At the end of the year, we had 217 Certified Lay Servants, 179 Certified Lay Speakers, and 5 Certified Lay Ministers.
We are extremely grateful for the support of the clergy in the Conference and for the help and support of the District Superintendents. We give thanks for the overwhelming support given to us by Bishop David Graves. We are also very thankful for our Conference Committee on Lay Speaking Ministries. Our Committee consists of: Conference Director – David Bowen
District Directors – Baypines: Jennifer Robertson Demopolis: Lynne Adams Dothan: Carolyn Myers Mariana/Panama City: Linda Hornsby Mobile: John Sellers Montgomery/Opelika: Mike Tatom Montgomery/Prattville: vacant Pensacola: Bruce Knecht
At-Large Members: Beverly Maddox, Helen Edwards, Matt Langford, Edna Williams, Candace McKim, Judy Reiter, Mary Messer, Rev. Steve Kopp, Peggy Duck Branch, Pat Caylor, and Tom Crenshaw.
We are excited about Lay Servant Ministries in our Conference and we look JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 349 forward to growth in opportunities to serve in the year ahead. We give thanks for all of those who so faithfully serve in the Lay Servant Ministries program.

United Methodist Women PURPOSE: United Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose Purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
United Methodist Women is the official women’s organization of The United Methodist Church. It’s membership is voluntary and open to all women committed to and engaged in mission who affirm the Purpose.
FUNDING: In 2018, The Alabama-West Florida Conference United Methodist Women met and exceeded our $121,450 Pledge to Mission to the National organization and exercised good stewardship within our annual budget. Our mission dollars continue to journey throughout specific projects and help in establishing Methodist Women’s societies in other countries and also include help with hospitals, schools and assist with agriculture projects. Additionally, other funds and requested items were collected and distributed to specific conference and district agency destinations within our local church communities.
SPECIAL GATHERING: The 150th Anniversary celebration at Assembly 2018 in Columbus, OH. motivated several of our members to rent a bus or travel the skies for thousands of miles to gather with other United Methodist Women from around the Nation and Worldwide for this weekend-long Fellowship. Many of the National Organization members prepared a place for relationship enrichment, Praise & Worship and we watched with special honor as two of our own Alabama-West Florida Sisterhood-Ms. Laurel Akin and Ms. Celeste Eubanks were consecrated as Deaconess.
Our first journey in the Districts for our Annual Day meeting began in the Baypines District at the Foley United Methodist Church. About 170 Alabama- West Florida United Methodist Women members, National President and Vice President and our Southeastern Jurisdiction President; Pastors and District Superintendents and the Bishop gathered as we began opening the doors for a message Hope in the heritage of United Methodist Women. 350 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE FOCUS: Leadership Development, We continued to develop future leaders where the central mission of United Methodist Women present opportunities and development. We uniformly trained many leaders within the Districts and Local Units to some duties for organizing our vision - lead our own personal change in order to help transform the world.
Conference and District Executive Mission Teams, We continued our attentiveness to the scope of mission work for the United Methodist Women Purpose within the Local Unit (at the Church). We meet in person, the conference call and the world-wide web regularly to organize and administer the policies for the stewardship of funding our mission for women, children and youth.
Cooperative Mission u and district mission studies. We organized Mission u where we studied Embracing Wholeness, Missionary Conferences: Red Bird, Oklahoma and Alaska and What about our Money - A Faith Response?
Our study lessons of issues, social and geographical nature prepared attendees to lead or assist these same studies at their Local Unit, so that, we can be motivated, enriched and informed for our commitment to global ministries.
Reading Program: Our Reading Program is a study opportunity where a diverse range of books in categories of Education for mission, Nurturing for community, Social action, Spiritual growth and Leadership development are available to expose us to concepts of mission in advocacy and service. We continue the focus and special emphases on Climate justice, Maternal and Child Health, Criminalization of Communities of Color and Economic Inequality.
GOALS: Connect with our current 3000-plus members at 146 Local Units to encourage direction and focus on the same vision of turning faith, hope and love into action on behalf of the agencies that assist women, children and youth in our communities and around the world. In the coming year our Love in Action focus will help us as we continue our journey to hold our annual meeting in the districts where we can encourage and invite ALL women in the church to come “listen and learn” about our United Methodist Women heritage and outreach work in missions.
2018 Report prepared by Deborah S. Bell (Debbie), President 2019-2020 Alabama-West Florida United Methodist Women [Resources: “On a Path for Mission” brochure, www.umwmissionresources.org / AWF-UMW workbook] JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 351 Administrative Team Reports
Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits The Board of Pension and Health Benefits offers quality health-care, disability, pension, retirement, financial planning, long-term care and death benefit coverage to the clergy and churches of the Alabama-West Florida Conference.
With the continued uncertainty in the healthcare environment the Board continues to give careful attention to our resources as we look toward the future. Our greatest resource is confidence in God’s abundance and goodness.
Your Board of Pension and Health Benefits shall be prudent in long-term planning, and we shall be optimistic in our management of the Board’s important benefits programs. We are committed to the goal of sustainable churches, a sustainable Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference, and a sustainable United Methodist Church.
Report 1 – Health Insurance The Board works hard to provide excellent health care coverage to our clergy and lay participants through a partially self-funded insurance plan, administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama. Montgomery lay member Mike Horsley serves as chairperson of the Insurance Sub-Committee of the Board. The Board continues to provide for and support the Wellness Sub-Committee. The cost of this health insurance plan is covered by participant premium equivalents, church direct billing, and apportionments. While contributions to the Clergy Retired Benefit Stabilization Fund are presently suspended, it remains a part of our funding plan to guarantee the financial strength of our Health Insurance Plan and to help offset the unfunded liability for retiree benefits. The Board’s health insurance reserve investment fund market value as of December 31, 2018 was $6.5 million. The Board of Pension and Health Benefits also maintains an Operating Reserve Fund at the United Methodist Foundation with a balance of $500,000.
For the plan to remain viable and available to all, participation by eligible clergy must be mandatory. The only exemption being when the clergyperson can provide satisfactory evidence that he/she is covered by a spouse’s group plan or that he/she is covered by a military or government retirement health plan. To minimize health claims and stabilize premium equivalents, an additional requirement for remaining in the plan is the minimal participation in the Annual Conference Wellness Initiative. Plan participants must complete an annual Biometric Screening and Health Quotient. Participation in additional wellness activities offered by the Board is optional but highly encouraged. In 2016, the first year of this initiative, there were 308 participants who completed the Biometric Screening and Health Quotient. The number of clergy members who 352 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE failed to complete the requirement has decreased each year.
Clergy who are 65 years of age or older, not in retirement status and serving under a 75% or full-time appointment will remain on the active insurance plan with premium equivalents being direct billed to the church. No premium reduction is applied. Spouses under age 65 of clergy not in retirement status and serving under a 75% or full-time appointment may remain on the active plan.
A surviving spouse who was on the active plan at the time of the pastor’s death may remain on the plan and receive a premium reduction of 2.9% per service year over five years. When the spouse reaches age 65 and is Medicare eligible, he or she will have access to the Medicare Supplement Plan and any appropriate premium reductions. Should the surviving spouse remarry coverage will no longer be available.
A divorced spouse and dependents of a pastor who were on the active plan at the time of the divorce may remain on the active plan but must pay the established premium equivalent for themselves and their dependents. Should the divorced spouse remarry coverage will no longer be available. The Board of Pension and Health Benefits seeks to increase the insurance reserves each year in its efforts both to maintain fiscal strength and stability in our insurance program and to offset the unfunded liability associated with providing post-retirement medical benefits to current and future retirees.The board established a target of $4,671,909 for 2019. The 2020 target will be $3,930,859 and the Board will recalculate the target annually. The Conference unfunded liability for retiree health benefits was estimated in 2015 to be approximately $27,600,000. A recalculation of the Conference’s unfunded liability for retiree health benefits was estimated in 2017 to be approximately $24,300,000, a significant improvement accomplished by sound financial practices. The summary of the 2017 study results are included in Report 2. The full report is available upon request to the Board of Pension and Health Benefits office.
The Group Health Benefits Plan is not a form of entitlement. The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits reserve the right to amend the active and retired plan of benefits and the eligibility needed to qualify. With the approval of the Annual Conference the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits may eliminate either or both plans.
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) health benefit provisions amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Service Act to require group health plans to provide a temporary continuation of group health coverage that otherwise might be terminated. The law generally applies to all group health plans JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 353 maintained by private-sector employers with 20 or more employees, or by state or local governments. The law does not apply to plans sponsored by the Federal Government or by churches and certain church-related organizations. While providing COBRA coverage was optional in the past, the Board of Pension and Health Benefits believes that it is no longer necessary and not in keeping with our commitment to faithful stewardship of Annual Conference funds.
Conference health care coverage is available for lay employees of local churches, and the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits encourages every church with lay employees to consider adding this important benefit. For information on premiums and enrollment requirements, please contact the Conference Fiscal Office.

The report in Exhibit 1 was prepared by PRM Consult- ing Group, based on conditions existing as of January 1, 2017.
The full report presents actuarial liabilities for the plan, as well as the applicable expense and liability amounts that would exist in the conference-reported plan financial information in accordance with the Standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) (ASC 715, and formerly FASB Statements 106, 132R and 158).
In addition, cash flow information is presented which projects the future claims and participant contributions for the current group of active and retired participants, along with the resulting employer costs. Cash flows, liabilities, and the net periodic post-retirement benefit costs have been calculated based on conditions existing as of the January 1, 2017 measurement date.
Please contact the Fiscal Office at 888-873-3127 if you would like to review the report. In this report (Number 2, Exhibit 1), we summarize the information provided through the valuation. Currently there is no formal funding plan established, although the Board of Pension and Health Benefits seeks to use any revenues over expenditures in the health insurance program to build up reserves and to underwrite this liability. We fund the annual retiree health costs through apportionments and individual monthly premium equivalents.
Exhibit 1 – Summary of Principal Plan Liabilities and Costs The following tables summarizes the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) (ASC 715, and formerly FASB Statements 106, 132R and 158). JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 355
Report 3 - Post-Retirement Medical Benefits for Retirees Purpose of the Plan: This is a retiree health plan designed to supplement the amounts Medicare pays for some hospital, medical, and surgical services. The Plan is not designed to cover all the expenses that Medicare does not pay. You must be eligible for Medicare and enrolled in Parts A and B of Medicare in order to receive any benefits under the Plan. Part D is recommended but not required to participate in the Plan. However, drug coverage is not included in the Plan. The Plan is self-insured by the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. This means that the Conference pays for all claims out of its own assets and does not buy an insurance policy to pay benefits under the Plan. Blue Cross is responsible for administering claims under the Plan; Blue Cross does not insure the benefits under the Plan.
Eligibility: Retirees • All clergy who retire from active service in the Alabama West Florida Annual Conference and are eligible for Medicare have access to the plan for themselves and their Medicare eligible spouses if they meet the following conditions. The clergy member must have been actively serving in the conference and been participating in the Active Health Plan for five (5) years immediately prior to retiring. A clergy member who is eligible to enter the program but chooses not to enroll and remains outside of the program for twelve (12) months, will give up their eligibility in the MEDSUPP for themselves and their spouse.
• Upon reaching age 65 and being Medicare eligible, the spouse will go on the Medicare Supplement Plan at the full Medicare Supplement premium equivalent. Once the clergy participant enters retirement status, appropriate premium equivalent reductions will be applied for both the clergy and spouse as outlined below. 356 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE • Annual conference employees who are employed with the conference at the time of their retirement and are at least age 65 at retirement have access to the plan for themselves and their Medicare eligible spouses.
• Local church lay employees who have been continuously employed within the Alabama-West Florida Conference for 20 years and are at least age 65, in retirement status, enrolled in the active insurance plan at least five (5) consecutive years immediately prior to retirement, have access to the plan for themselves and their Medicare eligible spouses. Premiums must continue to be paid by the church on church check. A lay employee, who is eligible to enter the program but chooses not to enroll and remains outside of the program for twelve (12) months, will give up their eligibility in the MEDSUPP for themselves and their spouse.
Premium Equivalent Reductions • To be eligible for a premium equivalent reduction for themselves and their spouses, clergy and annual conference lay employees must be enrolled in the conference active insurance plan for at least five (5) years prior to retirement and have five (5) or more years of service in the Alabama West Florida Conference. Years of service for clergy are as recorded by Wespath Benefits and Investments. Years of service for annual conference lay employees are as recorded in their employment records. Retired local church lay employees are not eligible for premium reductions.
• Participants retiring before July 1, 2017 will receive the premium reduction for themselves and their Medicare eligible spouses that were in place for them on July 1, 2017.
• Participants retiring after July 1, 2017 with 5 to 34 years of service will receive a 2.9% premium reduction for each year of service for themselves and their Medicare eligible spouses.
• Clergy members retiring after July 1, 2017 with 35 or more years of service will receive a full premium reduction for themselves and their Medicare eligible spouses.
• With respect to married individuals that are each clergy with appointments in the Alabama West Florida Annual Conference, each such clergy must satisfy Medicare and Plan eligibility requirements and premium reductions will be applied to each such clergy and not because of their status as a spouse of a clergy. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 357 Premium Equivalent for Appointed Retired Clergy (under age 65) Church’s Premium Payment: Equal to the premium equivalent for the active plan established annually by the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits.
Premium Equivalent for Appointed Retired Clergy (age 65+) Church’s Premium Payment: Equal 80% of the premium equivalent for the Medicare Supplement Plan established annually by the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits.
Clergy’s Premium Payment: Premium equivalent minus premium reduction.
Clergy Spouse: Full Premium equivalent minus premium reduction.
Pastors Retiring Prior to Age 65: Retired pastors who have not reached the age of eligibility for Medicare and have 30 or more years of service as recorded by Wespath Benefits and Investments may remain on the active plan with a premium reduction of 2.9% per service year. Their dependents may continue the active coverage by paying the full premium equivalent established by the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits. When the clergy member reaches the age 65, he or she will have access to the Medicare Supplement Plan and any appropriate premium reductions. When the spouse reaches the age 65, he or she will have access to the Medicare Supplement plan and any appropriate premium reductions as well. In the case of clergy couples without dependent coverage, individual clergy persons will be eligible in their own rights and premium reductions will be applied as individuals not as spouses of a clergy.
Pastors Retiring Under the Twenty-Year Rule: Retired pastors who have not reached the age of eligibility for Medicare and have 20 or more years of service but less than 30 as recorded by Wespath Benefits and Investments can remain on the active plan but must pay the established premium equivalent for themselves and their dependents. When the clergy member reaches the age 65, if he or she remained on the active plan, he or she will have access to the Medicare Supplement Plan and any appropriate premium reductions. When the spouse reaches the age 65, he or she will have access to the Medicare Supplement plan and any appropriate premium reductions as well
Pastors on Clergy Medical Leave: Clergy on Clergy Medical Leave and receiving Comprehensive Protection Plan disability benefits must qualify for Social Security Disability, and elect Medicare, 358 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE on or before the end of their 24th month following the receipt of Comprehensive Protection Plan disability benefits.
Once qualified for Medicare, clergy on Social Security disability have access to the Medicare Supplement Plan and any appropriate premium reductions.
Clergy on Clergy Medical Leave and receiving Comprehensive Protection Plan disability benefits who are not eligible for or choose not to elect Medicare coverage, may continue active coverage by paying the full monthly premium equivalent.
Retiree Benefit Stabilization Fund Contributions made by clergy to the Retiree Benefit Stabilization Fund (RBSF) remain in suspension. The RBSF will continue to be maintained for present and future use.
Report 4 – Pension The Reverend Amy Persons chairs the Pension sub-committee of the Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits. The Board continues to be delighted by the fine work of Wespath Benefits and Investments. With assets exceeding $21 billion and over 91,000 active and retired participants, Wespath Benefits and Investments ranks in the top 100 pension plans in the country and is the largest faith-based not-for-profit financial service organization in the world. In addition, Wespath Benefits and Investments acts as a socially responsible investor and participates actively in shareholder advocacy, proxy voting, portfolio screening, and community investing. Wespath Benefits and Investments is the largest denominational investor in affordable housing programs for low and moderate- income families in the nation. To date, they have allocated nearly $1 billion to affordable housing and community development investments.
Many current and future retirees find that their pension benefit is derived from several different plans. While the number and variety of plans make calculating pension benefits confusing, the various plans offer a certain level of security due to the diverse ways in which retiree pensions are funded.
1. The Pre-1982 plan bases the pension payment for a retired person on the number of years served with pension credit prior to 1982 and the Past Service Rate (PSR). The Board of Pension set as its goal to offer a sustainable PSR increase in future years. In 2019, the PSR is set at seven hundred fifty-eight ($773) per service year for retired clergy and five hundred thirty dollars and fifty cents ($541) for surviving spouses. For 2020, the Board proposes 2% increase setting the PSR at seventy hundred eighty-eight ($788) per service year for retired clergy and five hundred fifty-two ($552) for surviving JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 359 spouses. The Annual Conference adjusts the pension benefits of those living in Conference provided retirement homes by a reduction of $50.00 per month for clergy and $35.00 per month for surviving spouses.
2. The Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP) was the mandatory retirement plan for clergy serving from 1982 through 2006. Under this plan, the Conference Board of Pension contributed 12% of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC) on behalf of each eligible clergy person under appointment. Benefits at retirement are based upon specific decisions made by the retiring participant.
3. By mandate of the 2004 General Conference, beginning in January 2007, Wespath Benefits and Investments replaced the MPP with the Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP), which has two components – a Core Defined Benefit Plan and a Core Defined Contribution Plan. The Core Defined Benefit Plan determines a pension benefit using the following formula by multiplying 1.25% of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC) in the year of retirement by the number of years of credited service after 2006. The Core Defined Contribution Plan determines the pension benefit from the defined contribution of 3% of the participant’s plan compensation. Clergy appointed to less than full time service and Part Time Local Pastors at 75% are credited for service at seventy-five (75)%. By mandate of the 2012 General Conference benefits under this plan stopped accruing on December 31, 2013. Participants will lose no earned benefit.
4. The 2012 General Conference modified the Clergy Retirement Security Program. The January 2014 plan retains the two components – a Core Defined Benefit Plan and a Core Defined Contribution Plan. The Core Defined Benefit Plan determines a pension benefit using the following formula by multiplying 1% of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC) in the year of retirement by the number of years of credited service after 2013. The Core Defined Contribution (DC) Plan determines the pension benefit from the defined contribution of 2% of the participant’s plan compensation. In addition, the conference will match participant’s voluntary personal contributions to The United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) up to 1% of the participant’s plan compensation and deposit those matching funds into the participant’s CRSP DC account. Clergy appointed at not less than 75% of full-time service and Part Time Local Pastors appointed at not less than 75% are required to participate in the Clergy Retirement Security Program. Clergy appointed at less than 75% are not eligible to participate in CRSP, but may and are encouraged to, participate in the UMPIP.
5. The United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) is a voluntary 360 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE defined-contribution plan for personal contributions and rollovers made by clergy and lay employees.
When the recommendation of the Alabama West Florida Conference Commission on Equitable Compensation is approved and in cooperation with the cabinet, the Conference Board of Pension sets the following appointment salary service standards for 2020:
1. Elders, Provisional Members, Associates Members and Local Pastors at or greater than $38,000 will serve at 100% and are eligible for pension and health insurance benefits, unless appointed by the Bishop and the Cabinet to less than 75%.
2. Elders, Provisional Members, Associates Members and Local Pastors at or greater than $28,500 but less than $38,000 will serve at 75% and are eligible for pension and health insurance benefits, unless otherwise appointed by the Bishop and Cabinet to a lower percentage.
3. Elders, Provisional Members, Associates Members and Local Pastors at or greater than $19,000 but less than $28,500 will serve at 50%, unless otherwise appointed by the Bishop and Cabinet to a lower percentage and are not eligible to participate in CRSP or the health insurance plan.
4. Elders, Provisional Members, Associates Members and Local Pastors at or greater than $9,500 but less than $19,000 will serve at 25%, unless otherwise appointed by the Bishop and Cabinet to a lower percentage and are not eligible to participate in CRSP or the health insurance plan.
Retiring pastors may expect their pension benefits to come from multiple plans – Pre-1982 based on years of service with pension credit before January 1, 1982 and the PSR or the Defined Benefit Service Monies (DBSM) whichever provides the greater annuity payment, MPP based on defined contributions from 1982 through 2006, supplemented by PIP and UMPIP contributions, CRSP based on the number of service years between 2007 and 2013 and the DAC in the year of retirement and CRSP based on the number of service years after 2013. Because of the change in plans, it is important for participants to verify that the pre-2017 appointment information, including appointment percentages for less than full time appointments, listed in the Journal of the Alabama-West Florida Conference each year is correct. The Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits will assume that the Journal information is correct unless a correction is submitted in writing and verified within the conference year in which the Journal is printed.
The Cumulative Pension and Benefit Fund served as a voluntary defined- contribution retirement plan through 2006, funded through employer JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 361 contributions made on behalf of deacons (prior to 2006), diaconal ministers, and lay employees of local churches. This fund is now part of the UMPIP plan.
Information from Wespath Benefits and Investments is available online athttps:// www.wespath.org
The Board of Pension and Health Benefits recommends that the apportionment line item for Conference Claimants Fund be set at $0 for 2020. Since pension liabilities are tied to the Conference Average Compensation, the market results of Wespath Benefits and Investments plan assets, and the change in actuarial mortality tables, future increases in the Conference Claimants Fund line item may track with these variables and Wespath Benefits and Investments actuarial projections.
We call attention to ¶ 622 of The Book of Discipline 2016 of The United Methodist Church relative to the requirement that the apportionment for the pension and benefit programs be paid in proportion to the payment of the pastor’s salary by the local church. The Discipline gives the church treasurer the primary responsibility for the application of proportional payment. If the church treasurer fails to do this, the pastor is then required to adjust his/her cash salary.
Report 5 – Supplement One to the Clergy Retirement Security Program This Supplement One is applicable to the Alabama-West Florida Conference and is effective January 1, 2007. It replaces any previously executed Addendum A (or Attachment 1) and shall be in effect until amended by the Annual Conference in accordance with the provisions of the Clergy Retirement Security and the Comprehensive Protection Plan revised January 1, 2007.

The Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits is hereby 362 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE authorized, at its discretion, to arrange with Wespath Benefits and Investments for active participation in CPP by persons who are eligible under special rules but not automatically included as active participants. [CPP Section 3.03(a)]
All full and associate members appointed to Sabbatical Leave or to attend school shall continue to participate in CPP, provided the Conference makes the required contribution based on 3% of the plan compensation [Disciplinary Paragraph 351; CPP Section 3.02(a).]
The surviving spouse benefit will be 70% of the participant’s formula benefit.
Report 6 – Alabama West Florida Annual Conference Comprehensive Funding Plan for Plan Year 2017 The 2012 General Conference established a requirement for Annual Conferences to develop a comprehensive funding plan to identify both liabilities and resources. The Conference Board has developed and submitted the plan to Wespath Benefits and Investments.

If you would like to see the complete plan once submitted, contact the Fiscal Office at 888-873-3127.
Report 7 – Claimants’ Memorial Fund We recommend the continuation of the Claimants’ Memorial Fund. Funds being invested by this board with the interest will be used for the benefits of the conference claimants. Individuals and groups are invited to make voluntary JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 363 contributions in any amount as memorials to deceased ministers, members of minister families, or lay persons. Checks should be made payable to the Alabama-West Florida Conference and sent to the conference treasurer, Montgomery, with the name or names of the persons being memorialized. Families of those so memorialized will be notified that a memorial gift was received.
Report 8 – Special Appointment Pension Responsibilities In keeping with ¶1506.3.a, and 4, of the 2016 Discipline, we recommend that those clergy appointed to extension ministries be approved for pension responsibility on this Annual Conference in the following full time appointments: the director of the Assembly Grounds, the director of the Mobile Inner City Mission, the director of each Wesley Foundation, the Chaplain at the United Methodist Children’s Home, the Director of the Pensacola Urban Ministry and the Pensacola Hispanic Ministry provided such appointments are made as members of this Annual Conference under ¶ 344.1a(1) and 346.1 of the 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church. The district superintendents, clergy appointed to the Conference Connectional Ministry, Ministerial Services, and the Fiscal Offices are approved with pension responsibility on thisAnnual Conference.
We recommend that special appointments to the United Methodist colleges and universities and other general agencies shall be listed as with pension responsibility on the institution or agency.
We recommend that chaplains in the Armed Forces be listed with pension responsibility on the chaplaincy of the military service.
We recommend that clergy under appointment as approved evangelists, area appointments and other special ministries shall be listed with pension responsibility on this Annual Conference only upon payment to the Conference Claimants Fund an amount equal to 14% of the DAC as determined by Wespath Benefits and Investments.

Report 10 – Pensions for Lay Employees We strongly endorse the UMPIP and the Lay Long-Term Disability Plan administered by Wespath Benefits and Investments for lay employees of United Methodist local churches and agencies. In keeping with paragraph 258.2g (12) of the 2016 United Methodist Book of Discipline, we recommend and urge our churches to use these plans provided by the General Church to provide pension equal to at least 3% of compensation and death and disability coverage for our lay persons who serve our churches.
Churches and agencies should contact Wespath Benefits and Investments, 1901 Chestnut Avenue, Glenview, IL 60025, (800) 851-2201 for information on becoming plan sponsors for the UMPIP for lay employees.
Report 11 – Full Time Service as a Requirement for Pension Credit Pre-1982 We call attention to the following provisions relative to full time service, rendered prior to January 1, 1982, as a normal condition for pension credit which appears in ¶ 1506.3 of the 2016 United Methodist Book of Discipline.
A. Full-time service of a ministerial member or a lay pastor shall be required as a normal condition for pension credit; provided, however, that such credit may be granted for part time service by a three-fourth vote of those present and voting in the Annual Conference, on recommendation of the conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits. B. Full-time service shall mean that full time is devoted to the work of a pastor by one who has not attained the mandatory age of retirement for a Conference member, who is not attending school as a regular student, who is not substantially employed in non- pastoral work; and whose cash support per annum from all church sources is not less than the schedule of equitable compensation adopted by the Annual Conference for those in this person’s classification.
It should be noted that service of either a ministerial member or lay pastor is without pension credit if it is not full-time service as defined, except in cases of approved part-time service. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 365 Report 12 – Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Retired or Disabled Clergypersons of the Alabama – West Florida Annual Conference
The Alabama – West Florida Conference (the “Conference”) adopts the following resolutions relating to rental/housing allowances for active, retired, or disabled clergypersons of the Conference:
WHEREAS, the religious denomination known as The United Methodist Church (the “Church”), of which this Conference is a part, has in the past functioned and continues to function through ministers of the gospel (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 107) who were or are duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed ministers of the Church (“clergypersons”);
WHEREAS, the practice of the Church and of this Conference was and is to provide active clergypersons with a parsonage or a rental/housing allowance as part of their gross compensation;
WHEREAS, pensions or other amounts paid to active, retired, and disabled clergypersons are considered to be deferred compensation and are paid to active, retired, and disabled clergypersons in consideration of previous active service; and
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized the Conference (or its predecessors) as the appropriate organization to designate a rental/housing allowance for clergypersons who are or were members of this Conference and are eligible to receive such deferred compensation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
THAT an amount equal to 100% of the pension or disability payments received from plans authorized under The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (the “Discipline”), which includes all such payments from Wespath Benefits and Investments during the year 2020 by each active, retired, or disabled clergyperson who is or was a member of the Conference, or its predecessors, be and hereby is designated as a rental/housing allowance for each such clergyperson; and
THAT the pension or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance applies will be any pension or disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from Wespath Benefits and Investments and from a commercial annuity company that provides an annuity arising from benefits accrued under a Wespath Benefits and Investments plan, annuity, or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any 366 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE service a clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that an active, a retired, or a disabled clergyperson of this Conference rendered to any local church, annual conference of the Church, general agency of the Church, other institution of the Church, former denomination that is now a part of the Church, or any other employer that employed the clergyperson to perform services related to the ministry of the Church, or its predecessors, and that elected to make contributions to, or accrue a benefit under, such a plan, annuity, or fund for such active, retired, or disabled clergyperson’s pension or disability as part of his or her gross compensation.
NOTE: It should be noted that the above applies only to the clergyperson and not to the surviving spouse. The rental/housing allowance that may be excluded from a clergyperson’s gross income in any year for federal income tax purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code section 107(2) and regulations there under to the least of: (1) the amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the clergyperson’s employer or other appropriate body of the Church (such as this Conference in the foregoing resolutions) for such year; (2) the amount actually expended by the clergyperson to rent or provide a home in such year; or (3) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the cost of utilities in such year. If you need further information concerning this exclusion, please contact your CPA or the Conference Fiscal Office.

Report 18 –Alabama-West Florida Conference Policy on Clergy Medical Leave and CPP Benefits (Approved June 2005) TERMS: Medical Leave: A conference relations status of a clergy member who is unable to perform his or her ministerial work because of a physical or emotional impairment, the conference may grant medical leave upon recommendation of the conference boards of ordained ministry and pension.
CPP Disability Benefits: Benefits paid by the Comprehensive Protection Plan to clergy persons who are determined by Wespath Benefits and Investments to be eligible for these benefits and are on medical leave.
Medical Leave is granted to clergy who are members of the annual conference who are unable to perform their ministerial work because of incapacity due to health matters and disabling conditions. It is not a status that is used to solve appointment problems.
The 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church References:
¶356. Medical Leave Due to Medical and Disabling Conditions that Prevent Performance of Ministerial Duties- 1. When clergy who are members of an annual conference (¶369) are unable to perform their ministerial duties because of medical and disabling conditions, upon recommendations of the conference Board of Ordained Ministry and the conference board of pensions, and by a majority vote of the executive session of clergy members in full connection with the annual conference who are present and voting, they may be granted annual medical leave without losing their relationship to the annual conference; provided, however, that such leave may be granted or renewed upon reasonable and appropriate investigation of the case by the joint committee on clergy medical leave of the annual conference, or the party responsible for managing clergy medical leaves in accordance with the annual conference’s policies, which will report its findings to the conference Board of Ordained Ministry and the conference board of pensions. This relationship may be initiated by the clergy member or cabinet with or without the consent of the clergy member through the Board of Ordained Ministry. When medical leave is given without the clergy 370 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE member’s consent, reasonable accommodation shall be offered whenever possible. When a clergy member is granted medical leave by the annual conference, if the medical evidence has not yet met the standards for the receipt of benefits as set forth in the Comprehensive Protection Plan, section 5.04, the conference board of pensions may authorize payment of the benefits in the amount that would otherwise be payable from the Comprehensive Protection Plan. The payments shall be made by Wespath Benefits and Investments as a charge to the annual conference granting the medical leave. If payments from the Comprehensive Protection Plan are subsequently approved, the annual conference will be reimbursed for benefits already paid, not to exceed the amount otherwise payable from the Comprehensive Protection Plan. Each medical leave granted by the annual conference shall be recorded in the conference minutes.
2. When clergy who are members of an annual conference are unable to perform their ministerial duties between sessions of the annual conference on account of medical conditions, with the approval of a majority of the district superintendents, after consultation with the executive committee of the conference Board of Ordained Ministry and the executive committee of the conference board of pensions, a medical leave may be granted by the bishop for the remainder of the conference year; provided, however, that such leave may be granted upon reasonable and appropriate investigation of the case including accommodation provisions by the joint committee on clergy medical leave of the annual conference, or the party responsible for managing clergy medical leaves in accordance with the annual conference’s policies, which will report its findings to the conference Board of Ordained Ministry and the conference board of pensions. When a clergy member is granted medical leave by the bishop, if the medical evidence has not yet met the standards for receipt of benefits as set forth in the Comprehensive Protection Plan, section 5.04, the conference board of pensions may authorize payment of the benefits in the amount that would otherwise be payable from the Comprehensive Protection Plan. The payments shall be made by Wespath Benefits and Investments as a charge to the annual conference granting the medical leave. If payments from the Comprehensive Protection Plan are subsequently approved, the annual conference will be reimbursed for benefits already paid, not to exceed the amount otherwise payable from the Comprehensive Protection Plan. 3. When clergy members on medical leave provide medical evidence that they have recovered sufficiently to resume ministerial duties, or are able to return through reasonable accommodation, in consultation with the appointive cabinet, upon recommendation of the joint committee on clergy medical leave or the conference relations committee, and with the approval of the executive committee of the conference Board of Ordained Ministry, they may receive an appointment from a bishop between sessions of the annual JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 371 conference, thereby terminating the medical leave. Such appointment shall be reported immediately by the cabinet to the conference board of pensions and to Wespath Benefits and Investments. Such termination of leave, together with the effective date, shall also be recorded in the minutes of the annual conference at its next regular session.
¶635.2(l): “Conference Board of Ordained Ministry “The duties of the annual conference board of ordained ministry shall be... k) To interview applicants and make recommendation concerning: (1) changes from the effective relation to a leave of absence or retirement; (2) return to the effective relation from other relations; (3) honorable location; (4) readmission of located persons and persons discontinued from probationary membership; (5) sabbatical leave; (6) medical leave; (7) appointment as a student; (8) termination; and (9) changes to or from less than full-time ministry.
“The board shall keep a record of these changes and the reason behind them and place a copy in the permanent records of the annual conference maintained by the secretary of the conference.”
¶652. Each annual conference shall establish a procedure by which it will manage clergy medical leave. The annual conference may establish a joint committee on clergy medical leave (JCCML). If the annual conference establishes such a committee, it should be composed of at least two representatives each from the Board of Ordained Ministry and the conference board of pensions, who may be elected by those boards at the beginning of each quadrennium and at other times when vacancies occur, and a district superintendent appointed from time to time by the bishop to represent the cabinet. The joint committee shall be encouraged to include in its composition a person with a disability, preferably someone under appointment. Unless and until other members are elected, the chairperson and registrar of the Board of Ordained Ministry and the chairperson and secretary of the conference board of pensions, or others designated by them, shall be authorized to represent their respective boards.

C. Members of the Investment Committee The BOPHB Investment Committee shall be selected by the BOPHB. The Committee shall be composed of a minimum of 7 members. The chairperson and other officers shall be selected by the Committee from among its members.

D. Responsibilities of the Investment Committee To define and develop investment goals, and other operational guidelines;
To recommend to the BOPHB, the selection and discharge of the Investment Manager (s);
To monitor and evaluate the performance results and standard deviation of the Investment Manager (s) investment funds;

E. Investment Manager(s) To achieve its investment objectives and to ensure alignment with United Methodist Policies and alignment with the Social Principles of The United Methodist Church, the Investment Manager of Annual Conference Funds, shall be Wespath Investment Management, a division of Wespath Benefits and Investments, (formerly the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits), a general agency of The United Methodist Church. The primary role of Wespath is to assist the Committee by providing investment management and custody services. The use of Wespath shall be affirmed each year by the BOPHB.
The investments within the funds shall be invested in accordance with the Investment Strategy Statement and Statement of Administrative Investment Policy of Wespath Benefits and Investments and Wespath Investment Management (https://www.Wespath.org/assets/1/7/investment_policy.pdf).
This document is considered an addendum to this policy. The Committee acknowledges that the Wespath document may be modified at any time by Wespath without specific consent of the Committee. The Committee will request annually, a red-lined copy of the Investment Strategy Statement and Statement of Administrative Investment Policy. The Committee’s contact person will determine whether any changes merit disclosure to the Committee.
F. Investment Performance Benchmarks The investment performance of total portfolios and asset class components will be measured against the published benchmark for the respective investment funds, as well as, against commonly accepted performance benchmarks. Consideration shall be given to the extent which the investment results are consistent with the investment objectives and guidelines as set forth in this Investment Policy. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 379 G. Risk Posture and Time Horizon The Committee understands the long-term nature of the investable assets relative to each Fund’s objectives. It further understands, capital market returns will vary from year to year due to a variety of essentially unpredictable factors, including in general: changing market valuations and trends, the interplay of global economic cycles, changing monetary conditions, and the occurrence of geopolitical events, natural disasters and other exogenous forces The Committee recognizes that risk must be assumed in the investment pool(s) in order to achieve a pool’s investment objective over an acceptable long-term time horizon of 10 to 20 years. The Committee will endeavor to invest in a manner that achieves a risk-adjusted rate of return appropriate for each of the investment Funds based on the target asset allocation directed by the Committee. In addition to the capital markets risks, the Committee also considers and seeks to effectively manage and control the following forms of risk:
• Asset Protection Risk is the risk of loss due to fraud, embezzlement or financial system failure, which is mitigated through strong internal controls and the use of licensed trust companies to custody investment assets. Through the Wespath Funds, assets are custodied with Bank of New York Mellon.
• Purchasing Power Risk is the risk of loss when the rate of return on investments does not keep up with rate of inflation. For mitigation, the Committee will understand and implement investment strategies that increase the probability of producing positive real rates of return over the accepted time horizon.
• Liquidity Risk is the risk of loss arising from situations that include not having enough cash and/or cash equivalents to meet the obligations of the Committee and where the sale, if possible, of illiquid assets will yield less than their fair value. To mitigate this risk, the Committee will use proper cash management planning and employ asset allocation strategies constructed with highly liquid capital market securities.
H. Responsibilities of Investment Manager(s) The Investment Manager(s) shall provide the Conference Treasurer and the Investment Committee as necessary the following reports:
The portfolio’s complete holdings; 1. A review of the investment performance measured against the respective benchmarks; 2. A commentary on investment results in light of the current investment environment and the goals and guidelines; 380 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 3. A review of the key investment decisions and the rationale for the decisions; 4. A discussion of the Investment Manager(s) outlook and what specific decisions this outlook may indicate; 5. Any recommendations as to changes in goals and guidelines in light of material and sustained changes in the capital market; and any significant change in the Investment Manager’s outlook, ownership or key employees.
I. Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines As an Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, the Annual Conference is committed to the implementation of the socially responsible investment policies in the Book of Discipline (2016) (¶717);
“Sustainable and Socially Responsible Investments-In the investment of money, it shall be the policy of The United Methodist Church that all general boards and agencies, including the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits, and all administrative agencies and institutions, including hospitals, homes, educational institutions, annual conferences, foundations, and local churches, make a conscious effort to invest in institutions, companies, corporations, or funds with policies and practices that are socially responsible, consistent with the goals outlined in the Social Principles. All United Methodist institutions shall endeavor to seek investments in institutions, companies, corporations, or funds that promote racial and gender justice, protect human rights, prevent the use of sweatshop or forced labor, avoid human suffering, and preserve the natural world, including mitigating the effects of climate change. In addition, United Methodist institutions shall endeavor to avoid investments in companies engaged in core business activities that are not aligned with the Social Principles through their direct or indirect involvement with the production of anti-personnel weapons and armaments (both nuclear and conventional weapons), alcoholic beverages or tobacco; or that are involved in privately operated correctional facilities, gambling, pornography or other forms of exploitative adult entertainment. The boards and agencies are to give careful consideration to environmental, social, and governance factors when making investment decisions and actively exercise their responsibility as owners of the companies in which they invest. This includes engaging with companies to create positive change and hold them accountable for their actions, while also considering exclusion if companies fail to act responsibly.”
Further, the Socially Responsible Investment Program stated in the Investment Strategy Statement and Statement of Administrative Investment Policy of Wespath JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 381 Benefits and Investments and Wespath Investment Management (https://www.Wespath.org/assets/1/7/investment_policy.pdf), as revised, is the authority for the Annual Conference’s Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines.
J. Target Asset Allocations and Rebalancing Guidelines The purpose of allocating among asset classes is to ensure the proper level of diversification and standard deviation (risk) for each portfolio. The Committee recognizes that rebalancing is a critical element in controlling the long-term asset allocation of the Funds. The Committee also recognizes that asset allocation shifts may arise from cash flows and through different market fluctuations. Each investment Fund will be rebalanced quarterly during the months of March, June, September, and December using the Institutional Investor Portal rebalancing feature provided by Wespath to minimize deviations from the determined target allocations. The primary considerations in the asset allocation decisions and rebalancing process are:
1. Maintain inflation-adjusted purchasing power; 2. Grow the corpus of the funds to meet future obligations; 3. Achieve a minimum return in excess of inflation but with minimal annual fluctuations in the corpus; and, 4. Maintain the longevity of the assets and their distributions while taking into consideration that there may be no additional contributions.
K. Investment Guidelines, Asset Classes and Target Asset Allocations The Committee shall require that Wespath follow all guidelines as established in the Investment Strategy Statement and Statement of Administrative Policy of Wespath Benefits and Investments and Wespath Investment Management (https://www.Wespath.org/assets/1/7/investment_policy.pdf). This policy guides the investment of the underlying investment funds. To achieve its investment objectives, the Investment Pool shall be allocated among one or more funds managed by Wespath. The purpose of allocating among investment funds is to seek a prudent level of diversification and to mitigate risk.
The following table defines each account’s allocation range and target allocation:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, Reverend R. Steven Reneau, Chairperson, has hereunto set his hand and seal this 6th day of February, 2019.
Rev. R. Steven Reneau
This completes the reports of the Board of Pension and Health Benefits for 2019.
Submitted by, The Reverend R. Steven Reneau Chair, Board of Pension and Health Benefits JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 387 Conference Board of Trustees
Report 1- Fund Balances The Board of Trustees of the Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference holds in trust all properties of the Annual Conference. The real properties held are the following: The Episcopal Residence: 3291 Lancaster Lane, Montgomery and the Annual Conference Office building at 4719 Woodmere Blvd, Montgomery. The Board is the Trustee for the following bequests (cost value as of December 31, 2018):
FUND COST VALUE BENEFICARY 1. Norris Allen Fund $ 216,908 Board of Ministry 2. Hattie B. Norred Fund $ 104,074 Board of Trustees 3. C.B. Gilmore Fund $ 183,473 Board of Trustees 4. Lowndesboro Trust $ 8,024 Lowndesboro UMC 5. Mary Lloyd Reynolds $ 107,314 Board of Missions 6. J.B. Skinner Estate $ 1,044,082 Children’s Home
The Board of Trustees holds these funds in trust, with the revenues being used as directed by the donors.
We call attention to the resolution adopted by the Annual Conference of 1988, which designated the Alabama-West Florida United Methodist Foundation as the official depository for discretionary endowment funds owned by theAnnual Conference and its related boards and agencies. Local churches are encouraged to use the Foundation for endowment funds in order to insure proper management and fiduciary accountability.
Report 2- Signature Authority In keeping with ¶2515 of The 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, the President and any one of the following officers of the Board of Trustees may sign any required written instruments necessary to carry out the action authorized by the Annual Conference regarding the sale, transfer, lease or purchase of Annual Conference property: The Vice President or the Secretary.
Report 3- Designation of UMC Owned Property as Cultural, Historical, or Architectural Landmark Paragraph 2512.7 of The 2016 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church directs that “the board [of trustees of the annual conference], after consultation with the conference commission on archives and history. . . shall develop a policy for an annual conference response, on behalf of any local church, church-related agency, or district or annual conference board of trustees located within the bounds of the annual conference, to any governmental effort to designate a property held in trust for the benefit of The United Methodist Church 388 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE (¶2501) by any such board of trustees as a cultural, historical, or architectural landmark.”
Governmental designation of church-owned real property as a cultural, historical, or architectural landmark severely infringes upon and restricts the rights of the church as a property owner and as a religious institution.
Governmental designation of church-owned real property can cause a reduction in the market value of the property.
Typically, the exterior facade of a building may not be altered without governmental permission.
Depending on governmental requirements, alterations of the interior may be forbidden without governmental permission.
Improvements (such as buildings) on the property are either forbidden to be demolished, or can be demolished only after extensive and expensive applications and hearings.
Sale of landmarked property, when it is no longer required for church purposes, becomes almost impossible; a buyer is not given the freedom to demolish the structures on the property or to use it as he/she sees fit. Such limitations would render church-owned property virtually unable to be sold in the future.
The church could be blocked from transforming the donations given in the past to establish real property for United Methodist use into new establishments for United Methodist Church use, a promise made to the donors at the time their donations were originally solicited.
In exchange for such limitations on the use of property, governmental bodies typically will compensate the property owner for such reduction in property value and limitations on development and use by allowing federal and state income tax credits against actual expenditures made for future rehabilitation work done to the property. Such income tax credits are worthless to a church, however, because a church does not pay income taxes.
Because of the restrictions and infringements upon the rights of the church as a property owner and religious institution, in general such governmental designations should be discouraged.
There may be, however, instances when allowing such a land-marking to take place is in the best interests of both the public and the church. Therefore, the following principles are established as the policy of the Alabama-West Florida JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 389 Annual Conference:
1. Any Board of Trustees which voluntarily wishes to cooperate with a governmental body in having that property landmarked which the Board of Trustees holds in trust for The United Methodist Church shall do the following: a. Comply with the provisions of ¶s 2515, 2539, 2540, 2541, and/ or 2543 (as appropriate) of The 2106 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, just as if such land-marking were a sale of the property. b. Obtain a majority vote of the Bishop and Cabinet, combined, approving such a voluntary land-marking of church-owned property.
2. On behalf of the Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference, the Annual Conference Board of Trustees, as the designated successor in interest to church-owned property held in trust for the United Methodist Church under ¶2549.3 of The 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, and as the designated agency “to intervene and take all necessary legal steps to safeguard and protect the interests and rights of the annual conference anywhere and in all matters relating to property and rights to property” of any of its agencies, organizations, or local churches under 2512.4, is directed to intervene, at the request of the superintendent of the district in which the affected property is located, to oppose any governmental effort to involuntarily designate any such property as a cultural, historical, or architectural landmark. This intervention may include engaging what legal or professional counsel is needed. Such intervention may include opposing such land-marking designation in any or all state or federal courts, if necessary and appropriate. The Annual Conference Board of Trustees may, at its discretion, undertake such intervention by financial assistance to the affected board of trustees. Such funding shall come first from any positive balance in the fund described below. Additional funding, if necessary, be requested from the Annual Conference Council on Finance and Administration.
3. The Annual Conference Committee on Finance and Administration shall establish an interest-on-investments account to be used, at the discretion of the Annual Conference Board of Trustees, to help defray the costs of opposing governmental efforts at involuntary land-marking of church-owned property as described above. Funds contributed to this fund may only be used for the designated purpose. Any use of these funds will be reported to the Annual Conference. Income generated from this account may be used by the Annual Conference Council on Finance and Administration (or its successor organization) for any purpose it shall designate. The Annual Conference Board of Trustees is directed to a) request monies from the apportioned 390 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE budget of the Annual Conference, as reasonably available, and b) solicit voluntary contributions, to put into the account to hold in reserve for the designated purpose.
Report 4- General Trust Guidelines In the absence of specific guidelines regarding the investment and distribution of gifts to the Alabama-West Florida Conference Board of Trustees, the board establishes these guidelines in order to provide ongoing support of the ministries identified by the donor. The use of “Board of Trustees” in this document refers to the Board of Trustees of the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. • The objective of the trust is to conserve principal as an ongoing source of funding. • Any part of the principal may be withdrawn only in extreme and overwhelming circumstances, bordering on the financial survival of the entity designated by the donor and must be approved by the Board of Trustees. • Fund management will be provided through the services of the Alabama- West Florida United Methodist Foundation. • Up to 100% of the income may be utilized upon approval of the Board of Trustees. The Board shall use the “Corporate Law” definition of income, which generally defines income as earnings from all sources including interest, dividends, net rentals and capital appreciation. • Realized capital gains will routinely be treated as an increase in principal value unless approved by the Board of Trustees for distribution as part of “income”. • The use of a trust fund as collateral for a loan will be decided on a case by case basis by the Board of Trustees. • Board of Trustees will determine the investment strategy for each fund and any changes in investment strategy will require approval of the Board. • Any material change to the income distribution policy requires approval of the Board of Trustees. • Board of Trustees encourages the use of the General Trust Guidelines for all additional gifts.
Report 5- 15 Passenger Vans In an extraordinary action The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (see www.nhtsa.gov) issued a safety advisory for the fourth time in five years saying: • 15 passenger vans are far more prone to rolling over than school buses, cars, or mini-vans. • Occupants of 15 - passenger vans are less apt to wear seat belts. • 15 - passenger vans are three times more likely to roll over when fully loaded than when they have fewer than 10 passengers.
JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 391 Federal law does not let car dealers sell the vans for transporting people 18 years and younger.
The South Carolina United Methodist Advocate, dated May 2001 stated: School buses average 0.2 deaths per 100 million miles. Vans average 1.2 deaths per 100 million miles.
The Alabama-West Florida Chancellor states, “I believe that the use of these vans should be strongly discouraged by the Conference. There have been studies which tend to show that 15-passenger vans can become unstable in emergency situations where the vans are fully loaded. While the vans have not been prohibited by the Department of Transportation, the use of fully loaded vans to transport passengers has been strongly questioned. There is evidence that a fully loaded 15-passenger van exceeds the design criteria for the suspension systems of the van. Under emergency braking or handling maneuvers, the van can become unstable and there have been several crashes involving fully loaded vans. Consequently, it is my opinion that the Conference should strongly discourage the use of 15-passenger vans for the transportation of people in our Conference. Although the Conference cannot prohibit the use of these vans, I believe we should strongly discourage the use of these vans due to the liability concerns and safety concerns.”
It is the recommendation of the Board of Trustees that churches not use or purchase 15 passenger vans to transport passengers and that before churches do so that they obtain competent legal advice and consult with their insurance company.
Report 6- Parsonage Standards The Book of Discipline states, “Housing provisions shall comply with Annual Conference housing policy and parsonage standards.” In order to establish a housing policy and housing standard the Annual Conference recommends three options available for the local church. The Annual Conference does not put one option above the other. The options are co-equal, depending upon the local situation.
The Charge Conference shall review the recommendations of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee regarding provision of adequate housing for the pastor(s) of a local Charge in consultation with the District Superintendent, the Charge shall choose one of these three options.
OPTION ONE Housing Allowance: Any congregation considering a housing allowance shall consult with the District Superintendent to understand all the positive and negative aspects of housing allowances. Before implementing a housing 392 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE allowance, a congregation must obtain the District Superintendent’s permission. The congregation must present a tentative draft budget for the first two years and demonstrate the impact of the change on the overall fiscal health of the congregation. If the congregation decides to sell an existing parsonage, the church leadership shall follow the Discipline guidelines for selling the parsonage and using the proceeds of the sale.
Upon recommendation of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee and the Board of Trustees with approval by the Finance Committee, the Charge Conference shall provide an annual housing allowance. The housing allowance shall not be considered as part of compensation or remuneration of the pastor(s).
OPTION TWO Upon recommendation of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee and the Board of Trustees with approval by the Finance Committee, the Charge Conference shall provide a parsonage that furnishes only major appliances, installed floor covering and window dressing.

Report 7- Policy Statement Concerning Sexual Misconduct by Clergy of the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church, Inc. The Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church, Inc. affirms The2016 Book of Resolutions, Sexual Abuse Within the Ministerial Relationship and Sexual Harassment Within the Church, which states that sexual abuse within the ministerial relationship and sexual harassment within the church are incompatible with biblical teachings of hospitality, justice and healing. In accordance with The 2016 Book of Discipline ¶161(F), we affirm that all human beings, both male and female, are created in the image of God, and thus have been made equal in Christ. As the promise of Galatians 3:26-29 states, all are one in Christ. Therefore, this Conference of the United Methodist Church supports equity among all persons without regard to ethnicity, situation or gender.
Statement of Purpose Clergy members of this conference are in a position of sacred trust, responsibility and power which affords the opportunity for unique relationships of grace and caring. Sexual misconduct by the clergy violates this trust and constitutes an abuse of the power and position of the clergy. It is the purpose of this policy to prohibit sexual abuse, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct by the clergy members of this conference in the performance of their responsibilities as ministers of the gospel. It is also the purpose of this policy to provide a method for reporting such misconduct and a procedure for resolution of complaints of misconduct involving clergy members of this Conference. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 395 Theological Foundation All persons are created by God. Scripture teaches that male and female are created in the image of God, and are of equal value in Christ. Jesus was sent into the world that all persons may experience whole relationships with God and each other. We are called to live in a right relationship with God, with one another, and with ourselves. This calling to live in the fullness of our God-created humanity requires that we sustain a vital relationship to God so that we may maintain the dignity of all life, and treat each other with respect and dignity. The 2016 Book of Discipline states: “We affirm that sexuality is God’s good gift to all persons. We believe persons may be fully human only when that gift is acknowledged and affirmed by themselves, the church and society.”
Definitions Sexual harassment is defined by The2016 Book of Discipline,¶161(J) as “any unwanted sexual comment, advance or demand, either verbal or physical, that is reasonably perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating, or coercive. Sexual harassment must be understood as an exploitation of a power relationship rather than an exclusively sexual issue. Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, the creation of a hostile or abusive working environment resulting from discrimination on the basis of gender.” Sexual harassment may occur in any environment where the work of the church takes place. Sexual harassment also includes intimidating or coercive behavior that threatens or results in a tangible employment action.
Gender Harassment is behavior that is harassing in nature against a woman because she is a woman or against a man because he is a man.
Sexual abuse is conduct of a sexual nature that is in violation of the legal rights of others and/or conduct that is prohibit by law. Sexual abuse includes criminal sexual conduct or sexual contact by force, threat or intimidation that is in violation of the laws of the states of Alabama or Florida. As applicable to interactions with children or vulnerable persons, the term “sexual abuse” includes the subjection of a child or vulnerable person to any sexual act by any person responsible for their care in violation of the laws of the states of Alabama or Florida. To uphold the moral standards of the United Methodist Church as defined by The 2016 Book of Discipline, no person under the age of 18 nor any vulnerable adult may give consent to sexual acts.
Sexual abuse within the ministerial relationship occurs when a person within a ministerial role of leadership (pastor, educator, counselor, youth leader, or other person of leadership) engages in sexual contact or sexualized behavior with a congregant, parishioner, client, employee, student, staff member, co-worker or volunteer. 396 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Sexual Misconduct is conduct which is a chargeable offense within the meaning of ¶2702 of The 2016 Book of Discipline. Sexual misconduct may also be an abuse of power through sexual contact or activity (not limited to sexual intercourse) which exploits the vulnerability of a parishioner, client, staff member, or volunteer, or conduct which causes or allows those persons to engage in sexual conduct with a person in a professional relationship (whether paid or unpaid) to this annual conference.
Sexual misconduct may also include any sexual contact or activity (not limited to sexual intercourse) between a person in a therapeutic or counseling role or relationship with a parishioner or client. In such instances, consent is not a defense. Such behavior is inappropriate and immoral.
Policy Statement Sexual harassment, gender harassment, sexual abuse and misconduct of a sexual nature within the life of the Church interfere with its moral mission. The Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church prohibits and will not tolerate these behaviors, which are sinful, demeaning, abusive and wrong. This Conference commits itself to the fair and expedient investigation of any complaint of sexual and gender harassment, sexual abuse or misconduct of a sexual nature within the Conference and will take action deemed appropriate and in compliance with the Book of Discipline. Further, it shall be the policy of The Alabama West- Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church to create an environment of hospitality for all persons, male or female, which is free from this type of sinful conduct and which encourages respect, equality and kinship in Christ.
Procedure for Reporting Complaints Some instances of harassment can be resolved informally by conversation between the parties or facilitated by mediation. In all other instances, conduct that is in violation of this policy must be reported immediately. Such a report may be made either to the Presiding Bishop of the Conference or any District Superintendent of this Conference. A report of such conduct may be reported to the Presiding Bishop at the Bishop’s office in Montgomery, Alabama or to the District Superintendent at any of the District Offices within the Conference. Upon receipt by a District Superintendent of a report of clergy misconduct of a sexual nature, the District Superintendent must immediately report such complaint to the Presiding Bishop.
Non-Retaliation for Reporting The Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church will not retaliate against any person who brings forward a complaint or reports any conduct prohibited by this policy. All staff, leaders and volunteers are expected to immediately report any knowledge of harassment, abuse or misconduct JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 397 to any one of the persons listed above. Prompt and appropriate investigation and corrective action, where appropriate, will be taken, including discipline. Persons who make false accusations may also be disciplined in the event that the accusations have been proven false.
Investigations All investigations and remedial measures shall take place according to the pertinent provisions of the Book of Discipline. Nothing contained in this policy shall be construed to in any way alter or enlarge on any requirement of the Book of Discipline. All complaints or reports of conduct that is in violation of this policy shall be promptly and thoroughly investigated in accordance with the Book of Discipline. All investigations shall be consistent with fair process as set forth in ¶2701 of The 2016 Book of Discipline and the Decisions of The Judicial Council of the United Methodist Church. Confidentiality While The Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality, it will make every reasonable effort to maintain confidentiality by disclosing information concerning the complaint or the investigation only on a “need to know” basis and as necessary to promote God’s call for justice, reconciliation and healing.
Mandatory Reporting The Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church will comply with all applicable state or federal laws regarding the mandatory reporting of misconduct of a sexual nature committed by any clergy.
Mediation and Reconciliation The Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church encourages resolution of disputes and conflicts by mediation and reconciliation. Where appropriate, the Conference encourages parties to utilize mediation in order to reach a just and equitable resolution of the matter, giving due consideration to the severity of the situation, the position of the parties and nature of the conduct involved. Where appropriate, the conference encourages the utilization of mediation agencies such as Just Peace, and appropriate support teams.
Report 8- Safe Sanctuaries Policy and Minimum Standards
INTRODUCTION. One mission of The Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference Board of Trustees is to support the work of the local church. At each meeting the members keep in front of them the question, “How will this action help the local church?” Our prayer is that the revised Safe Sanctuaries Policy and Minimum Standards will help the local church accomplish its ministries while ensuring the safety of our children, youth, and at-risk or vulnerable adults. We 398 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE encourage clergy and laity to read this policy and make it an essential part of the operations of your local church. If you have any questions you may contact any member of the Board of Trustees.
I. THEOLOGICAL BASIS. The theological basis of the Safe Sanctuaries Policy and Minimum Standards (SSPMS) is grounded in the following:
A. Children are important! Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me . . .” (Mark 9.37, all Scripture references are from the New Revised Standard Version). We ought to offer hospitality and protect children. Jesus said, “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18.6; Mark 9.42).
B. The Social Principles of The United Methodist Church state that “. . . children must be protected from economic, physical and sexual exploitation, and abuse.” Id, Paragraph (¶) 162C.
C. Members of the United Methodist Church regularly pledge commitment to demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ so that each person will be “. . . surrounded by steadfast love, . . . established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal” (Baptismal Covenant II, United Methodist Hymnal, p. 44).
D. Paragraph 2702 of the Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church 2016 names child abuse, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, and sexual harassment as chargeable offenses for both clergy and lay members.
II. DEFINITIONS. The following definitions shall be used in establishing, applying, and interpreting the SSPMS: A. Abuse 1. Physical abuse occurs where a person intentionally causes bodily harm to a child, youth, or at-risk or vulnerable adult. 2. Emotional abuse occurs where a person speaks violently or cruelly to a child, youth, or at-risk or vulnerable adult, or otherwise exposes a child, youth, or at- risk or vulnerable adult to violence or emotional cruelty. 3. Neglect is abuse which occurs where a person endangers the health, safety, or welfare of a child, youth, or at-risk or vulnerable adult by failing to act in a reasonable manner. 4. Sexual abuse occurs where an adult or another older or more powerful youth has sexual contact with a child, youth, or at-risk or vulnerable adult. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 399 B. Personnel 1. Governing body refers to the local church leadership approved and elected by the annual Charge Conference of the local church and in compliance with The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church 2016 (¶ 243, 244, and 247). Examples may include Church Council, Administrative Board, Board of Stewards, etc. 2. Authority figure is a person who is the primary leader of any youth, children, or at-risk or vulnerable adult activity and such person is required to be twenty- one (21) years of age or older. 3. Assistant is a person who gives help to and is directed by an authority figure in the course of any youth, children, or at-risk or vulnerable adult activity including, but not limited to, volunteers, interns, camp counselors, and Vacation Bible School workers. Such an assistant must be at least twelve (12) years of age. However, in order to count for satisfying requirements of the two adult rule (¶ II.C.1, below,) such assistant must be an adult as herein defined. 4. Adults are all persons who have attained the age of majority (19 years in Alabama and 18 years in Florida). 5. Floater is an adult who acts as an assistant to an authority figure to monitor covered activities or events (¶ II.C.2, below,) in order to comply with the two adult rule (¶ II.C.1, below,) when achieving such compliance by use of two non- related adults is unfeasible. 6. Children are all persons from infants through the fifth grade or sixth grade, as determined by each local church in order to conform with grade-level practices of its local area schools regarding classifications of elementary schools and middle or junior high schools. 7. Youth are all persons in the sixth-grade or seventh-grade through the twelfth- grade, as determined by each local church in order to conform with grade-level practices of its local area schools regarding classifications of middle or junior high schools and high schools. 8. At-risk or vulnerable adults are adults with physical, mental, and/or developmental impairment or disability.
C. Activities 1. Two adult rule is a core principle regarding the supervision required for covered activities and overnight events. This rule means that a minimum of two adults who are not related to each other should be utilized in all programming with children, youth, and at-risk or vulnerable adults. However, when unfeasible to staff at buildings and outdoor areas with two non-related adults, there should be at least an additional adult serving as a floater with visual and physical access to all areas where such programming occurs. Visual and physical access means either an open door or door with a window that provides a line of sight enabling the floater to see into a room or other building space and to see fully outdoor sites where covered activities or events take place. 2. Covered activities or events for purposes of this document include all church 400 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE programming for children, youth, and at-risk or vulnerable adults. 3. Overnight events are a type of covered activity or event which extends through the evening and which may include summer camps, retreats, mission trips, and lock-ins. a. Room sharing limits means that adults staying with young people during overnight events must be the same gender as the young people and that such adults must not be alone in a lodging room with a young person at any time and must not share a bed with a young person unless he/she is an immediate family member or guardian of such young person and of the same gender. b. Immediate family member or guardian room sharing exception means that an immediate family member or guardian of a young person who is chaperoning an overnight event is permitted to share a room and bed with his/her child no matter the gender as long as no other young people are sharing the room. 4. Transportation a. Transportation is a covered activity whenever such transportation is provided in a church-owned or leased vehicle (car, SUV, van, bus, etc.) or when a church staff member is the driver of or present in any vehicle used for such transportation. This provision shall not apply to multi-vehicle caravanning transportation. Two adults are not required to occupy each of the private vehicles in a caravan. b. Any such transportation provided for a church-sponsored or church-hosted program of day-care, pre-school, or after-school care that is licensed under the laws of Alabama or Florida shall abide by and conform with the respective state laws and regulations, if any, applicable to such a transportation function.

We shall strive to provide for physical safety and spiritual growth of all our children, youth, and at-risk or vulnerable adults.
B. We shall strive to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ so that each person will be “. . . surrounded by steadfast love, . . . established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal” (Baptismal Covenant II, The United Methodist Hymnal, p. 44).

J. We shall commit to observe the Safe Sanctuaries Policy and Minimum Standards.
IV. STANDARDS: THEIR ADOPTION. Local churches within the Conference may adopt their own Safe Sanctuaries Policy and Minimum Standards, provided such standards equal or exceed in strength of protection for children, youth, and at-risk or vulnerable adults the minimum standards here stated.

V. REPORTING AND CHILD ABUSE INTERVENTION RESOURCES. Child abuse reporting requirements and procedures for the states of Alabama and Florida and a list of child abuse intervention resources are provided below.
A. Reporting abuse or alleged abuse in Alabama. Alabama’s mandatory child abuse and neglect reporting law states that all school teachers and officials, social workers, day care workers or employees, mental health professionals, members of the clergy as defined in Rule 505 of the Alabama Rules of Evidence, or any other person called upon to render aid or medical assistance to any child, when the child is known or suspected to be a victim of child abuse or neglect, shall be required to report, or cause a report to be made of the same, orally, either by telephone or direct communication immediately, followed by a written report, to a duly constituted authority. When an initial report is made to a law enforcement official, the official subsequently shall inform the Department of Human Resources of the report so that the department can carry out its responsibility to provide protective services when deemed appropriate to the respective child or children.
B. Reporting abuse or alleged abuse in Florida. All cases of suspected abuse must be reported to the Florida Abuse Hotline. Initial reports should NOT be made to the county/local branch of the Florida Department of Children and Families. The Florida Abuse Hotline may be reached at 1-800-96-ABUSE. Reports may be faxed in; however, the preferred option for the Florida Department of Children and Families is for persons to call the Florida Abuse Hotline and talk to a Hotline counselor.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE ALABAMA - WEST FLORIDA BOARD OF TRUSTEES
WHEREAS, the 2016 Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church provides that the Annual Conference shall have the authority to determine the manner in which proceeds from the sale of abandoned church assets may be distributed; and
WHEREAS, the Conference Trustees hereby recommend to the Annual Conference that it adopt certain policies and procedures pertaining to discontinued and abandoned church property, real, tangible, and intangible, including, but not limited to, church buildings and furnishings, parsonages and any other church-owned furnishings, cemeteries and records relating thereto, membership, baptismal, and other historic records, Christian and church insignia, and gifts held in trust, assets of any endowment foundations or invested funds; and
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved and recommended by the Board of Trustees of the Alabama - West Florida Conference that the following policies and procedures be adopted during the next business session of the Annual Conference of the Alabama - West Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church:
Report 9 - Policies and Distribution of Proceeds from the Sale of Discontinued or Abandoned Local Churches and Their Assets
The Annual Conference of the Alabama - West Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church hereby establishes the following policies and procedures for the distribution of proceeds of discontinued or abandoned churches and their assets. In all instances regarding the disposition of the assets of a local church as a result of discontinuance or abandonment of a local church, the current United Methodist Book of Discipline shall be consulted and followed along with these policies and procedures, which are designed to provide for the orderly gathering and disposition of said assets:
A. Discontinued Churches 1. The district superintendent initiates the process for the assessment of a JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 407 local church’s potential following the steps prescribed in the current Book of Discipline. 2. Upon reaching the conclusion that a local church no longer serves the purpose for which it was organized, the district superintendent shall initiate the process by which the local church may be declared or may declare itself discontinued. 3. When remaining members are available, a charge or church conference will be held for the purpose of approving discontinuance. 4. If there is a cemetery cared for by the trustees of a local church, the local church trustees shall arrange for the incorporation of a Cemetery Association, either among themselves or including other interested persons in the community, and the cemetery shall be deeded to said Cemetery Association. In so doing: A. A separate survey of church and cemetery property will be required. B. The conveyance of the cemetery property must be approved by the church conference or charge conference prior to the conveyance. 5. Any action to discontinue a local church requires an affirmative vote of the presiding bishop and a majority of the district superintendents and the district board of church location and building. 6. When a local church is discontinued according to the above procedures, the district superintendent, relying upon his or her sole discretion in the best interest of the Conference and in compliance with applicable church and civil law, shall be responsible for, and is the legally authorized representative of the Conference for: a) transferring remaining members to other United Methodist Churches, b) obtaining the deed to the property and a legal opinion as to any reversion restrictions in the deed, c) determining which group or persons will be responsible for the upkeep of the building and maintaining insurance premiums, and d) making recommendations for the future use of the property to the Annual Conference. If no recommendation is made, it shall be deemed abandoned consistent with Paragraph 2549.2(b) of the 2016 Book of Discipline. 7. District Superintendents will present resolutions for the discontinuance of churches during the next business session of the Annual Conference.
B. Abandoned Churches 1. A local church that is already discontinued, may be further declared to be abandoned. The change in status from “discontinued” to “abandoned” may be made by local church/charge conference action, or at the recommendation of the district superintendent. 2. The following groups must approve the change in status: the presiding bishop and a majority of the district superintendents and members of the district board of church location and building. Upon approval of the change in status from discontinued to abandoned, the district superintendent will so notify the Conference Board of Trustees. 3. It is understood that this change in status means that the church and its assets are available for future sale or disposal by the Conference Board of Trustees. 4. The district superintendent or his/her designee and the Conference Board 408 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE of Trustees shall cooperatively care for the following details: a) appoint a committee to conduct an immediate inventory of all local church assets; b) prepare a final accounting of outstanding financial obligations of the local church, to include any monies owed to the Conference, including but not limited to, any accrued direct bill obligations and current year apportionments that have not been paid; c) consult and follow the most recent Checklist for the Discontinuance or Abandonment of Local Church Property prepared by the GCFA Legal Department, d) provide all building keys and security codes, if any, to the Conference Board of Trustees, e) remove sacred objects of special value, church insignia and symbols, f) secure the buildings and exercise control over access thereto, and g) secure any gift, legacy, devise, annuity or other benefit that becomes available to the Conference as a result of a church’s becoming abandoned.
C. Sale of Abandoned Churches 1. The Conference Board of Trustees and the district superintendents shall cooperate in the sale of abandoned churches. The following steps must be followed: (a) An independent appraisal be secured, the cost of which will be deducted from the sale proceeds. (b) All listing agreements shall include the following wording: “The seller is required by The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church to give consideration to other denominations represented in the Commission on Pan- Methodist Cooperation and Union. The seller reserves the right to reject offers from independent church organizations not connected with the Commission.” (c) The Conference Board of Trustees may hire a real estate agent to list the sale at fair market value, and must provide necessary insurance, utilities, and upkeep of the property pending the sale, the cost of which will be deducted from the sale proceeds. (d) All written offers for purchase must be directed to the Conference Board of Trustees. (e) For an offer to be accepted, a majority of the Conference Board of Trustees must accept the offer by affirmative vote and authorize all deeds and other legal documents for the transfer of the property. (f) The Conference Board of Trustees shall request a written statement from the presiding bishop indicating that the ad interim sale of the abandoned church property has been executed in conformity with Paragraph 2515 of the 2016 Book of Discipline. (g) The Conference Board of Trustees shall report all sales of abandoned church property in a given year at the next business session of the Annual Conference.
D. Distribution of Net Proceeds from the Sale of Abandoned Churches 1. The Conference Board of Trustees shall distribute the net proceeds from the sale of abandoned churches pursuant to Paragraphs 2549.3, 2549.5, and 2549.7 of JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 409 the 2016 Book of Discipline and this policy. 2. All proceeds from the sale of abandoned churches located in non-urban centers, as defined in Paragraph 2549.7, shall first be applied to satisfy any and all financial obligations of the abandoned church, including, but not limited to, unpaid pension and health benefits for the current year, any unpaid apportionments for the current year, and any other short-term or long-term liabilities incurred by the abandoned church. The remaining funds shall be distributed as follows: A. One half of the net proceeds shall be distributed to the Emerging Ministry Account of the district trustees in the district where the abandoned church was formerly located. Said proceeds shall be held in trust for use by the district for missional purposes, including, but not limited to places for United Methodist worship, ministry, or faith development; provided, however, in the event that the district trustees fail to use said proceeds in accordance with this provision within three years of receipt, or fail to receive an extension from the Conference Trustees, the said proceeds shall revert to the Conference Trustees to transfer to the Board of Congregational Development to use for new church starts and congregation revitalization within the Conference. B. The remaining half of the net proceeds shall be transferred by the Conference Trustees to the Board of Congregational Development to use for new church starts and congregational vitalization within the Conference. 3. All proceeds from abandoned churches in urban centers of the Conference, after all financial obligations of the abandoned church, including, but not limited to, unpaid pension and health benefits for the current year, any unpaid apportionments for the current year, and any other short-term or long-term liabilities incurred by the abandoned church, shall be distributed to the respective district trustees’ Emerging Ministry Account to be used by the District Superintendent in consultation with the Cabinet in the Urban Center in which the sold property is located; provided, however, in the event that the district trustees fail to use said proceeds in accordance with this provision within three years of receipt, or fail to receive an extension from the Conference Trustees, the said proceeds shall revert to the Conference Trustees to transfer to the Board of Congregational Development to use for new church starts and congregation revitalization in Urban Centers within the Conference. 4. The Conference Treasurer shall provide quarterly financial reports to the Conference Trustees and to the Cabinet on the Conference Property Fund with income received and disbursements made for the Conference Property Fund, the District Emerging Ministry Accounts and the Conference Congregational Development Account. The President of the Trustees shall include in the Trustees Report to the Annual Conference a Financial Report on the Conference Property Fund. 410 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Report 10- Conference-Wide Insurance Program (United Methodist Insurance) In September 2006 the Board of Trustees joined United Methodist Property and Casualty Trust (PACT) by insuring all of the annual conference owned property and operations. In 2007 the Annual Conference adopted, but did not make mandatory, a resolution to establish PACT as the conference-wide insurance carrier for all of the churches and ministries of this annual conference beginning January 1, 2008.
In 2011 the denomination’s top financial agency (GCFA) became the single owner of the PACT program. The General Council on Finance and Administration approved a plan to allow the United Methodist Property and Casualty Trust Company to buy out the 12 annual (regional) conferences and two general agencies that then owned the company. The new entity became United Methodist Insurance (UMI). In 2015 fifty-two churches and agencies were insured by UMI through the Alabama-West Florida Conference.
The Conference began and ended 2018 with a balance of $285,211.55.
We will continue to offer the UMI coverage to churches in the Alabama-West Florida Conference via the UMI partnership with AmVenture Insurance Agency, Inc. The partnership with the Church Insurance Agency Corporation ended effective 12/31/2018 and AmVenture took over as the insurance partner effective January 1, 2019. AmVenture Insurance Agency, Inc. can be reached via phone at 866-203-0777 or, [email protected].
Report 11- Minimum Insurance Requirements The Book of Discipline 2016 Par. 2533.2 requires local church trustees to annually compare the existence and adequacy and report on the adequacy of local church property and liability insurance coverage “to ensure that the church, its properties, and its personnel are properly protected against risks.” Since 1797, the Book of Discipline has provided that the property and assets of local churches are held in trust for the benefit of the denomination. Inadequate insurance puts local church property and assets at risk; including the denomination’s trust interest therein. Therefore, Trustees of the Alabama-West Florida Conference, representing the denomination’s trust interest, have adopted the following minimum insurance requirements for local churches:
COMMERCIAL PACKAGE POLICY, to include the following minimum limits:
Buildings, Pipe Organs & Contents Insured to Replacement Value, “Special Risk” Coverage. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 411 All Church buildings should have an updated replacement cost valuation every five (5) years. The replacement cost valuation must be updated within 180 days if additional square footage is added.

UMBRELLA POLICY (Excess Liability) An Umbrella policy is suggested for all churches and required for those with a membership of five-hundred (500) or more. If applicable, this excess policy must extend over Commercial General Liability, Pastoral Counseling, Employee Benefits Liability, Owned Auto, Hired & Non- Owned Auto and Workers Compensation. A higher per occurrence limit may be appropriate based on specific risk characteristics such as church size and/or scope of operations and ministries.
Per Occurrence Limit $1,000,000 (minimum) Aggregate $1,000,000
Report 12- Annual Conference Conflict of Interest Policy
Article I Purpose The purpose of this conflict of interest policy is to protect theAlabama West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church’s (a nonprofit organization, hereafter referred to as the “Conference”) interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the Conference or another Interested Person as defined 412 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE below, or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable ganizations.or
Board members or other Interested Persons as defined below have a fiduciary duty to exercise good faith in all transactions involving the Conference or one of its Affiliates as defined below. A rule of honest and fair dealing shall apply to transactions between Interested Persons and the Conference. They shall not knowingly use their positions or knowledge gained therefrom to materially or financially benefit, so that a conflict of interest may arise between the Conference’s interest and that of any Interested Person.
Article II Definitions 1. Interested Person Any director, principal officer, employee or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an Interested Person. If a person is an Interested Person with respect to any board, committee or corporation controlled or wholly elected by the Conference (“Affiliate” or “Affiliates”), he/she is an Interested Person with respect to the Conference and any other of its Affiliates for the purposes of this policy. 2. Financial Interest A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or any family member of such person: a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Conference has a transaction or arrangement, b. A compensation arrangement with the Conference or with any entity or individual with which the Conference has a transaction or arrangement, or c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Conference is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.
For the purposes of this Policy, “compensation” includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial, and the term “family member” includes the person’s spouse, brothers, sisters, ancestors and lineal descendants.
A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. Under Article III, Section 2, a person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the appropriate governing board or committee decides that a conflict of interest exists. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 413 Article III Procedures 1. Duty to Disclose In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an Interested Person must disclose at the earliest possible time the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. 2. Non-participation in Decisions Any person who is required to disclose a conflict of interest pursuant to this policy shall not participate in any deliberations, consideration, discussion, or determination of any matter in which such person has a conflicting interest and shall not vote at any stage of such proceedings. Such person will be excused from the meeting room at all times that such matter is being discussed or voted upon by the remaining members of the board or committee. 3. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the Interested Person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining disinterested board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. 4. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest a. An Interested Person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the proposed transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. b. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested Person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. c. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the Conference can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Conference’s best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, the governing board or committee shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. 5. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy a. If the governing board, committee or management has reasonable cause to believe an Interested Person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the Interested Person of the basis for such belief and 414 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE afford the Interested Person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. b. If, after hearing the Interested Person’s response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board, committee, or management determines the Interested Person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take, or shall refer to the appropriate body to take, appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
Article IV Records of Proceedings The minutes of the governing board and all committees with board delegated powers shall contain: a. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the governing board’s or committee’s decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed. b. The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings.
Article V Compensation a. A voting member of the governing board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Conference for services is precluded from participating in the discussion of, and voting on, matters pertaining to that member’s compensation. b. A voting member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Conference for services is precluded from participating in the discussion of, and voting on, matters pertaining to that member’s compensation. c. No voting member of the governing board or any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Conference, either individually or collectively, is prohibited from providing information to any committee regarding compensation.
Article VI Dissemination of Policy The Conference Treasurer’s Office shall be responsible for ensuring that a copy of this Policy is provided to each employee of the Conference and its Affiliates and to each Interested Person as defined above on an annual basis. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 415 Article VII Periodic Reviews To ensure the Conference operates in a manner consistent with its charitable and religious purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax- exempt status, periodic reviews shall be conducted. The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects: a. Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information and the result of arm’s length bargaining. b. Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations, if any, conform to the Conference’s written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes and do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit or in an excess benefit transaction.
Article VIII Use of Outside Experts When conducting the periodic reviews as provided for in Article VII, the Conference may, but need not, use outside advisors. If outside experts are used, their use shall not relieve the governing board of its responsibility for ensuring periodic reviews are conducted.
Submitted by, Mrs. June Carpenter, President Conference Board of Trustees 416 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Commission on Equitable Compensation (CEC) “It is the purpose of the commission on equitable compensation to support full- time clergy serving as pastors in the charges of the annual conference by: (a) recommending conference standards for pastoral support; (b) administering funds to be used in base compensation supplementation; (c) providing counsel and advisory material on pastoral support to district superintendents and committees on pastor-parish relations; and (d) submitting an arrearage policy to be adopted by the annual conference.” (¶625.2, 2016 Discipline)
The CEC assists congregations which have potential for growth to become capable of financially supporting a full-time pastor, and assure that all full-time appointed pastors in the AWF Conference receive minimum salary. The CEC recommends the following guidelines for all churches/charges in our conference that apply for a subsidy grant:
1. Only full-time pastors, certified by the Board of Ordained Ministry (district and conference levels as applicable), approved by the annual conference, and appointed to a church or charge are eligible for a CEC subsidy grant. No associate pastor, part-time local, or supply pastor shall be eligible for a subsidy grant. The amount of equitable compensation a pastor may receive is based upon the taxable cash salary prior to any voluntary employee reductions such as a 403(b) plan or written cafeteria plan plus utility exclusions, excluding a housing allowance in lieu of a parsonage. Full-time local pastors without a parsonage must receive a housing allowance to bring their total plan compensation up to 60% of the denominational average compensation so that they will be eligible for Comprehensive Protection Plan benefits.
2. No pastor shall receive a subsidy grant from CEC when the pastor receives income from any other church source if that income plus salary from the charge is more than minimum salary. No pastor serving outside the bounds of our conference shall be eligible to receive equitable compensation.
3. For a pastor to receive an equitable compensation subsidy grant, the church/ charge must pay at least 80% of minimum salary for the year in which CEC a subsidy grant is provided, and have paid at least 50% of the previous year’s apportionments. Direct Bill health insurance and pension payments shall be waived for charges upon their initial approval for a CEC subsidy grant if no outstanding arrearage exists. Each succeeding year of receiving a CEC subsidy grant, churches/charges must make progress toward providing full clergy compensation according to the following schedule to qualify for a continued subsidy grant. Percentages listed below apply to the approved minimum salary for the calendar year in which a subsidy grant will be received: Year 2: 85% of minimum salary and 100% apportionments paid Year 3: 90% of minimum salary, and 100% apportionments paid JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 417 Year 4: 90% of minimum salary, 100% apportionments, and Defined Benefit portion of Direct Bill paid Year 5: 95% of minimum salary, 100% apportionments, and complete Pension portion of Direct Bill paid After five years of receiving a CEC subsidy grant, a church/charge may be approved for a sixth year of exemption from the Health Insurance portion of the Direct Bill if the charge is paying 100% of minimum salary, 100% of apportionments and 100% of the pension portion of the Direct Bill.
4. Churches/charges applying for a CEC subsidy grant that are already paying above 80% of minimum salary shall be expected to make appropriate progress toward becoming self-sustaining in accord with the schedule in Paragraph 3.
5. The CEC recognizes that occasionally circumstances will demand special consideration. The district superintendent of the applying church/charge should assess such cases and present rationale for a subsidy grant to the CEC. Churches/ charges must be willing to participate in a formal congregational development effort offered by the annual conference.
6. District superintendents are required to review all equitable compensation situations in their districts to ascertain the necessity for assistance and, whenever possible, seek to reduce the need for a CEC subsidy grant. The district superintendent shall be responsible for the accurate completion and submission of subsidy grant applications to the CEC. The secretary of the CEC shall not issue a check order for an equitable compensation subsidy grant until all criteria have been met as determined by the CEC.
The CEC recommends a minimum salary of $38,000 for all full-time appointed clergy for 2020.

Arrearage Policy 1. In the event that the local church treasurer becomes aware that the church will be unable to provide to the pastor full payment of a regularly scheduled payroll, housing allowance installment, or full payment for regular directly billed benefit payments such as pension and health care, the church treasurer shall immediately notify both verbally (within 24 hours) and in writing (within 3 days) the pastor, lay leader, and chairs of S/PPRC, finance, trustees, and the church council of the impending arrearage. Upon receipt of such notice, the chair of S/ PPRC and/or the pastor shall immediately (within 3 days) notify the DS of the impending arrearage. It is the pastor’s responsibility to keep copies of all written notifications and to provide additional written confirmation to the DS when an arrearage has taken place. Failure to document salary or benefit arrearages may result in a loss of compensation and/or forfeiture of pension and benefits.
2. Upon receipt of notice of an impending arrearage, the chair of S/PPRC shall immediately (within 24 hours) call a meeting of the pastor, lay leader, and chairs of finance, trustees, and the church council to discuss the financial situation and seek remedies to prevent an arrearage from occurring. Such remedies might include drawing from invested funds, an emergency appeal for special giving from the congregation, or emergency grants or loans from the District or Conference. In accord with Discipline ¶624, such remedies cannot include a reduction in the pastor’s compensation until the beginning of the next conference year.
3. If after consultation with the lay leader and chairs of S/PPRC, finance, trustees, and church council it becomes apparent that the church may be facing a long term financial crisis, the chair of S/PPRC shall notify in writing the pastor and DS that: (a) a CEC subsidy grant is necessary to maintain compensation for the remainder of the conference year, (b) a change in pastoral compensation may be necessary at the beginning of the following conference year, or (c) a change in pastoral appointment as deemed necessary by the bishop and cabinet.
4. If the local church becomes delinquent in the pastor’s compensation (i.e. more than 30 days), then the district superintendent shall notify the CEC, which on its own initiative may send a representative to meet with the local church and pastor to seek resolution of the issue, or develop a payment plan with the local church/ charge so that the pastor receives full payment of compensation by the end of the conference year. The district superintendent shall be invited to participate in this process. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 419 5. If the local church is already receiving a subsidy grant, the CEC may: (a) determine if all subsidy grant funds allocated to the church were used to pay the pastor’s salary, (b) examine the original subsidy grant application to determine if the amount requested was reduced, (c) require an outside audit of all church funds in compliance with GCFA Guidelines, (www.gcfa.org). The CEC shall notify the district superintendent in writing of its findings and recommendations.
6. If a local church becomes delinquent in the payment of the pastor’s direct billed pension and benefits (i.e., more than 30 days), then the conference treasurer shall notify the conference benefits officer, the district superintendent, and the CEC. On behalf of the conference, the benefits officer and/or DS shall develop a written payment plan with the local church so that the conference receives full payment of pension and benefits by the end of the conference year.
7. Discipline ¶2543.1 makes clear that no real property on which a church building or parsonage is located shall be mortgaged to pay for the current or budgeted expenses of a local church (including arrearages), nor shall the principal proceeds of a sale of any such property be so used. This provision shall apply alike to unincorporated and incorporated local churches. 8. In extreme and unresolved circumstances, the local church and/or pastor may petition a session of the annual conference for assistance in payment of the arrearage, after completing the required financial audit of the church.
9. It is the responsibility of the pastor to provide evidence of an arrearage by providing documentation such as: treasurer’s reports, charge conference reports of adopted compensation, check stubs, W-2 forms, and a Certification of Payment Form signed by the pastor, S/PPRC chair, trustee chair, treasurer, and church council chair.
10. The statute of limitations for filing a claim for funds from the annual conference (i.e., notification to the DS) for any salary arrearage is one year from the date of the initial arrearage. Once an appointment ends, the pastor no longer has claim on the local church for compensation funds (¶342.4, Discipline).

GRAND TOTALS $ 11,084,468 $ 9,491,704 84.05% $ 9,489,775 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 429 Report No. 8 - Stewardship Responsibilities and Local Church Concerns 1. CFA believes that all apportionments are needed in the amounts apportioned. Furthermore, CFA believes that all churches have the capacity to pay apportionments in full. In 2018, 87.88% of apportioned funds were paid by local churches. In 2017, 90.11% of apportioned funds were paid by local churches. CFA continues to encourage all churches and all United Methodist Christians in the Alabama - West Florida Annual Conference to participate fully in our connectional ministries through generous serving, generous giving, generous living, generous leading, and generous praying. The 2020 Conference budget reflects a 1.7% increase in Connectional Missional (Conference Ministries line) giving (apportionments.) General Church apportionments have increased by $78,982 or 2.26%. Jurisdictional apportionments remained unchanged from 2019. Over-all Annual Conference Connectional Missional (apportionments) decreased by 16.04% in 2020.
2. By action of the 2001 Annual Conference, the following schedule shall be used in setting apportionments for new churches: 1st full year no apportionment 2nd year 25% apportioned 3R year 50% apportioned 4th year 75% apportioned 5th year & following 100% apportioned
3. Apportionments shall be made to all churches using the apportionment formula outlined in CFA Report - Formula and Allocations.
4. Local churches shall provide for the audits of local church records as provided in paragraph 258.4d of the 2016 Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church.
Report No. 9 - Formula and Allocations 1. In 2012 a task force was formed to evaluate the fairness of the current formula for determining conference apportionments. They reviewed formulas used in each of the Southeastern Jurisdiction Annual Conferences. The task force recommended, and the 2013 Annual Conference approved, the continued use of the current apportionment formula.
2. Therefore, the apportionments shall be developed using a formula based on financial strength of the local churches and membership of the local churches. Financial strength will be weighted 75% and professing membership will be weighted 25% in the formula. Apportionments will be determined by local church decimal applied to the amount of each budget item at the conference level. 430 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE
3. The financial strength of a local church in calculating the decimal formula shall be based on all local expenditures (lines 41a-47 of the Local Church Report to the Annual Conference). This eliminates all apportionments (including direct billing) and special giving from the formula. (Listing: Standing Rule No. 22)
4. The winter/spring meeting of the Council on Finance and Administration shall be the time for receiving requests from all boards and agencies for the ensuing year. All boards and agencies should be advised that they place their allocations in jeopardy when they fail to submit timely budget requests.
5. The local church will enter the Local Church Report information using the “UMC GCFA Statistical Input System” (EZRA) located on Alabama- West Florida Conference Web Site (www.awfumc.org) Contact the District Superintendent’s office for the User Name and Password if they are not known by the church pastor. The pastor and chairperson of the Committee on Finance or the church treasurer shall review the annual local church report as being correct before its final submission. The Fiscal Office will establish a date by which it should be notified if corrections are necessary. If no corrections are identified by that date, the fiscal officer will consider the report accurate.When the new year’s apportionments are run in July/August, there will be only one set of apportionments, which will be the final set. There will not be a “Trial Set” of apportionments.

Further adjustments to District Superintendent’s compensation are hereafter tied to the CAC, Conference Average Compensation. The CAC for 2018 was $80,631 and for 2019 is $82,169, a 1.9% increase. District Superintendent’s salary will increase by 1.9% to $122,764 for 2020.

Return
The Committee has set a goal of outperforming, net of all investment expenses, a blended market index which best represents the strategic asset allocation of the overall investment structure.
Total Portfolio Blended Benchmark (based on the asset allocation described below):
50% Equity Blended Benchmark – comprised of 70% of the Russell 3000 Index and 30% of the MSCI All Country World Index Ex- U.S.
50% Fixed Income Blended Benchmark – comprised of 80% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 10% Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Bond Index, and 10% Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index
• The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. • The MSCI All Country World Index Ex-U.S. is a market-capitalization- weighted index maintained by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) and designed to provide a broad measure of stock performance throughout the world, except for U.S.-based companies. The Index consists of 44 country indices comprising 23 developed and 21 emerging market country indices. • The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is the most common index used to track the performance of investment grade bonds in the U.S. The Index is weighted per market capitalization. Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) foreign bonds, government agency bonds and corporate bonds are some of the categories included in the index. The bonds represented are medium term with an average maturity of approximately 4.5 years. In all, the index represents about 8,200 fixed- income securities with a total value of approximately $15 trillion (about 43% of the total U.S. bond market). To be included in the index, bonds must be rated investment grade (at least Baa3/BBB) by Moody’s and S&P. However, 438 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE almost 80% of bonds represented in the index have an AAA rating. • The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Bond Index provides a broad-based measure of the global, investment-grade, fixed-rate debt markets. The index includes government, government agency, corporate, and securitized non-U.S. investment-grade fixed income investments, all issued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and with maturities of more than one year. • The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index measures the USD-denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below.
Risk
Higher returns involve higher volatility. The Committee is willing to tolerate some volatility (based on the target allocation) to meet its long-term total return objectives. However, it is intended that assets be managed and diversified in a manner that seeks to minimize principal fluctuations over the established time horizon.
Diversification across asset classes is a core principle of prudent portfolio management. The asset class targets and ranges below show the approved investment levels associated with the investment objectives. The portion invested in each sub-class and strategy will change periodically to reflect the Investment Consultant’s/Manager’s tactical investment policy if it is within the acceptable ranges listed. Any proposed investment changes outside these ranges must be approved by the Committee prior to being implemented. The Committee should review asset allocation targets and ranges annually. Target Asset Allocation
Tactical Tactical Minimum Strategic Maximum
Global Equity 30% 50% 70% U.S. Large Cap Equity 15% 30% 36% U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity 5% 10% 13% Non-U.S. Developed Markets 5% 7.5% 10.5% Non-U.S. Emerging Markets 5% 7.5% 10.5%
Global Fixed Income 30% 50% 70% U.S. Investment Grade Bonds 20% 36% 50% Non-U.S. Bonds 5% 7% 10% High Yield Bonds 5% 7% 10%
JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 439 From time to time, market conditions may cause the portfolio’s investments to vary from the established target allocations. To remain consistent with the asset allocation guidelines established by this Policy, each broad asset class (as defined above) shall be reviewed periodically for potential rebalancing back to target or initial allocations. The Investment Consultant/Manager retains discretion to rebalance based on market conditions, economic events, or account activity if allocations remain within the permissible ranges.
Liquidity is required to meet cash flow needs as well as unanticipated expenditures or distributions. Therefore, a liquid reserve of no more than 2% may be maintained to aid in payment of expenses and or distributions.
Liquidity guidelines: Investments may be made through a combination of externally managed strategies (separate account managers and/or manager models), Mutual Funds, and Exchanged Traded Funds (ETFs) that provide daily liquidity.
Investment Policy Review To assure continued relevance of the guidelines, objectives, financial status and capital markets expectations as established in this statement of investment policy, the Council shall review this policy at least annually.

JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 441 Mission Team Reports Board of Congregational Development The Conference Board of Congregational Development (BOCD) exists to enable the Alabama West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church to better fulfill its mission of “making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world “ by:
1. Starting new congregations in connection with district and local church partners. 2. Encouraging and resourcing existing congregations to start new opportunities for church vitality. 3. Assisting existing congregations, large or small, to excel in ministry.
In July 2018 we have received our first full-time Director of Congregational Development and Vitality in over a decade, Rev. Bill Kierce. During this Conference year, the Board of Congregational Development has worked to assess our processes for assessment, accountability and funding of new church starts. We are developing a bold plan for reclaiming our Methodist heritage by multiplying congregations and fresh expressions of ministry in a variety of contexts throughout our Annual Conference. Recognizing that a strong foundation must be laid to support and sustain this effort, our focus this year has been upon visioning and aligning our resources to ensure success. While we are not initiating a new church launch in 2019, we are preparing to do so in 2020 and beyond. However, the board continues its support of our Korean congregation in Prattville, AL, Century UMC in Pike Road, AL and Casa de Dios in Pensacola, FL, and we are excited about the growing impact of these congregations in their communities. In addition, our director will launch an Innovative Clergy Cohort experience during the fall of 2019.
Regarding congregational vitality, our director has led an evaluation of our Conference’s two primary approaches – Next Steps and the Antioch Partnership. We applaud and appreciate the assistance we have received from Dr. Victor Dingus over the last two years in leading Next Steps. Several of our districts have experienced substantial benefit from his leadership with local churches.We are planning an expansion of Next Steps by recruiting a team of lay and clergy leaders in our Conference to carry this ministry forward, expanding its capacity to serve more of our congregations in discerning God’s direction for their next ministry steps. The Antioch Partnership, also revised and expanded, will be utilized as a specialized approach to assist congregations with a comprehensive approach to congregational and community assessment and strategic development. A pilot of this approach has been conducted at Cokesbury UMC in 2018-19 with great success. Additional approaches will be added to our toolbox and made available to congregations in the next Conference year.
We are thankful for the passionate work of Martha Rovira and Hispanic Ministries, resulting in thriving Hispanic congregations in strategic places in our 442 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Conference. We are grateful for the input of Dionisio Salazar, who consulted with Martha and other Conference leaders in January 2019 to help us enhance our effectiveness in reaching even more Hispanic communities throughout the Alabama-West Florida. Martha’s work extends beyond oversight of our Hispanic congregations to support of our Hispanic pastors and their families, including but not limited to matters of immigration and naturalization.
In the love of Christ, Frederick G. Outlaw, Chairperson
Board of Church and Society The Conference Board of Church and Society has had an exciting and fruitful year! In January 2018 we held a conference wide informational seminar on Predatory Lending. The event was held at Frazer UMC in Montgomery, AL. Approximately 75 people attended in person that evening and many more viewed the event Live Stream as well as on Facebook. The speakers for this event were Mr. David Stout of Alabama Arise and Ms. Kim Rogers of the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham. With the information that we gained form the seminar on predatory lending in January 2018, the Board was able to present 1 resolution to the 2018 Annual Conference session on predatory lending. The resolution passed immediately. In September of 2018, the board sponsored an informational seminar in Mobile, AL on mental health issues. We appreciate Rev. John Russell opening up his Vision Center for this event. The speakers were all staff of the Alabama Department of Mental Health as well as Rev. Jennifer Gregory. In addition to our time spent on the resolutions and educating the conference, we have made it a priority to also train our board. To prepare our board for our January 2019 seminar on Racial and Economic justice, we met in Montgomery, AL and toured the Legacy museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice. We toured both of these locations as individuals as well as a group. We completed the day with a discussion with two individuals from the Equal Justice Initiative. They helped answer some of the questions that arose while we were visiting these areas. Two young pastors in the conference were able to attend the General Board of Church and Society sessions in New York with the help of our board. Both pastors were excited about this opportunity and were able to bring back lots of new information for their churches. In February of 2018, the board hosted the Legislative Prayer Breakfast. Bishop David Graves of Alabama West Florida Conference was the invited speaker.

Spiritual Direction Training (2017-2020) is suited to those who hunger to experience deeper intimacy with God, to grow in attentiveness to God’s movement, are drawn to compassionate listening, feel a call to companion others on the spiritual journey and seek spiritual community with others. There are 21 new trainees attending the Spiritual Director’s three-year training at Blue Lake. Trainees have both enjoyed and been challenged by the year two faculty member, The Reverend Marshall Craver who is an ordained Episcopal priest who retired in January of 2017 from thirty-two years of full-time parish ministry. Marshall is currently serving as spiritual director to the clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast. All are amazed at the growth of these gifted persons.
Many current Spiritual directors were blessed and renewed by a Continuing Education Retreat, ‘Walking with the Saints’ led by Amy Oden (Feb 2019). Dr. Amy G. Oden is Visiting Professor of Early Church History and Spirituality at Saint Paul School of Theology in Oklahoma City, OK. It was amazing how the Spirit engaged the group as the directors journeyed through their time together.
Annual Conference Sacred Space Prayer Room (June 2018)- Sacred Space was prayerfully created for those at annual conference to step apart, to come away for prayer, silence, Scripture and sacred readings, and prayer labyrinth. The Prayer room provided a prayerful space amid the busyness and work at conference.
“Means of Grace | Day Apart for Spiritual Formation”- Four of these events, all led by our Certified Spiritual Director were hosted during 2018. Many lay and clergy have attended these Day Apart. In February Donell Seager lead a day on prayer. In May Roger Short led Fasting and Holy Living. August had Donna Keith and the Sacraments, and in November Pam Avery shared on Christian Conferencing/Living in Covenant Community. Two additional of these events are planned for 2019 with both clergy and laity encouraged to attend.

Prayer Shawl Retreat (Sept. 2018) – “The theme: Acres of Hope” These persons were looking for hope, especially hope in those unexpected places with faculty Donell Seager, Spiritual director and 22 participants. Drum Circles were led by facilitator Rev. Jackie Slaughter, Spiritual director, for groups in the Alabama-West Florida Conference. Rev. Slaughter also facilitated drum circle community-building events for several local churches, Vacation Bible School and summer youth programs. 444 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE There are four Spiritual Directors assisting the Montgomery Community of Transformation.
Our Spiritual Directors fielded prayer request for persons and concerns caused by hurricane Michael. All prayer requests came through the AWF Director of Connectional Ministries, Rev. Ashley Davis. She then delivered them to our Spiritual Directors, who prayed over all requests. Spiritual Director Sonja Crawford was involved in the design team for the Courageous Conversations as well as helping to facilitate one of the gatherings.
Spiritual Director Sonja Crawford has taken a lead in social justice and reconciliation attending a webinar on social justice in spiritual direction as well as being a member of the Commission on Racial Justice and Reconciliation of the Episcopal Dioceses of the Central Gulf Coast. As such she has lead worship/ meditation and designed pilgrimages throughout the year and designing booklets with reflections questions and meditations of the pilgrimage experience.

Division of Native American Ministries Native American Ministries had an exciting year in 2018. Aldersgate United Methodist Church hosted annual functions, events, and missions. We are proud to be a part of the Alabama West Florida Conference. We hope to continue providing ministries within our Native American community and other communities near and far. I have listed some of the larger programs below that AUMC was a part of in 2018.
Its no secret that AUMC provides one of the most successful and diverse bible school programs in our community. This year was no different as we completed our successful program. AUMC encourages participation in our bible school program by inviting churches with other ethnical backgrounds to interact with our Choctaw community. The visiting church, Mar Thoma Church, has been part of the program for well over a decade. Through the partnership we have constructed two small buildings to assist in a “camp style” lodging for the week. The attendance for the program can range from 50- 100 child attendees with 20 + volunteers. In 2018, the theme for bible school was “Game On”. The volunteers decorated the church facilities with their creative abilities to excite the children’s interest.
This year AUMC invited Rural Community Chaplain Roland Stanley to speak at Native American Sunday. It was an educational opportunity shared among the members regarding history and facts of our cultural background. It was completed during a Sunday church service. Rev. Jabe Fincher also promoted Native American Sunday by providing information including factual bulletins posted throughout the church.
Homecoming this year was a great success. AUMC invited Brother Nick Williams. Williams is a Probate Judge and local leader from Washington County, AL. Williams delivered a wonderful program. AUMC provided an after-service dinner in the fellowship hall and displayed a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation included Native American church members and families that were paramount in the foundation of AUMC. 448 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE In 2018, Rural Chaplain Roland Stanley attended the Native American International Conference in Tucson, Arizona. During this event, key note speakers delivered messages on several topics. The overall goal of this event is to build relationships. There were representatives at the conference from all over the nation.
We hope that 2019 is an active year for our Native American Ministries. We hope to continue to spread the love of Christ through our community. It is imperative that we continue to move forward and establish these relationships. We would like to thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely, Gary Cole Chair of Native American Ministries 20145 Richard Weaver Road Mount Vernon, AL 36560 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 449 Conference Committee Reports Commission on Archives and History Archivist’s Report As the archivist for the Alabama West Florida Conference, it is my privilege to work with both members of the Alabama West Florida Conference and students of Huntingdon College. The Methodist Archives Center is depository for both agencies. It is located in the Houghton Memorial Library on the Huntingdon College campus in Montgomery, Alabama. The Methodist Archives Center (MAC) performs a joint function for the college and the conference.
The Commission On Archives And History (COAH) is the agency responsible for management of the Methodist Archives Center. It is the responsibility of the archivist and those working in the MAC to maintain the daily operation of the Center. We also assist the COAH with their meetings, the Memorial Service held at each AWFC Annual Session, and the Memorial Luncheon which is given for the immediate family members of those deceased clergy and spouses who were remembered at the Memorial Service. It is also the archivist’s responsibility to gather information and write the Memoirs printed each year in the Journal of the AWFC. Additionally, we assist the AWFC Historical Society with their meetings and projects throughout the year.
In 2018 the MAC assisted over thirty-five visitors. We had thirty-one visitors requesting information concerning the church and thirty-five referring questions for the college. Three Huntingdon College classes were taught regarding the MAC. The following types of users were assisted: General Public (Methodist Related) 54.55%; Methodist Conference Employees 18.18%; General Public (College Related) 9.09%; HC Faculty/Staff 8.33%; HC Library Faculty/Staff 5.3%; HC Alumni 3.79% and HC Students .76%.

Historical Society President’s Report The Alabama-West Florida Conference Historical Society (AWFC-HS) is a voluntary membership organization which is formed to work with the Annual Conference Commission on Archives and History (COAH) in the collection and preservation of materials related to the history of the United Methodist Church and its antecedents. The Society promotes research, writing, and publication in the field; and develops interest in United Methodist history and skills for pursuing it among local church historians and others. Anyone who is interested in preserving the heritage of our Conference and our local churches is welcomed and encouraged to join and participate.
At the 2018 AWF Annual Conference, the Society assisted the COAH in organizing, setting up, and decorating the area where the annual Memorial Luncheon was held; and assisted in serving the catered meal. Society members also helped the Commission as it greeted and guided surviving spouses and family members of the Conference clergy who had passed on since the last Conference as they assembled for and attended the Annual Service of Remembrance.
We also maintained an informational display adjoining the COAH display and provided brochures and other information concerning our work to those who stopped by. A photo opportunity site was set up next to our display where visitors could don a circuit rider’s hat and coat, hold his saddle bag, and stand in front of a forest scene with his horse in the background to have his photograph made.
The Society’s 2018 Annual Meeting was held on September 20, 2018. Camden UMC, Camden, Alabama was our host. Rev. Brian Dovey, the host pastor, welcomed our 81 members and guests to Camden UMC and to the city of JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 451 Camden.
The day was filled with interesting presentations about this heart ofAlabama’s Black Belt region. Methodism in Camden began in the early 1800s and Pie Malone from Camden UMC provided us interesting information about the organization and history of the Methodist church in Camden through the years. A written history of the church was also provided.
The main theme of the meeting was “Learn about Hearn”. Ebenezer Hearn who is considered the father of Methodism in Alabama and who preached his first sermon in Alabama in 1818, ‘came alive’ at the meeting as Rev. Ed Shirley, appropriately dressed and in the character of Rev. Hearn, presented a superb biographical monologue. Near the conclusion of the meeting, the AWFC Historical Society honored the life and ministry of Rev. Hearn with a Service of Remembrance which was held at Rev. Hearn’s grave in the Hearn Family plot in the Camden Cemetery.
After the Service of Remembrance in the Camden Cemetery, the 2018 Annual Meeting participants moved a few miles down AL-10 to the Gaines Ridge Dinner Club for a delicious lunch and more fellowship. The building where this well- known restaurant is located was built in 1827 by Ebenezer Hearn. The kitchen used by the restaurant is the original kitchen of the Hearn home.
The 2019 Annual Meeting will be held on December 5, 2019, at the Maplesville United Methodist Church, Maplesville, Alabama. This date is later in the year than most of our Annual Meetings, but we were invited to come to Maplesville UMC during Advent in order to enjoy the old fashioned Christmas decorations that the church is noted for.
During the 2018-2019 Conference Year, the Society continued its presence on social media. Our website at www.awfhistory.com and our official Facebook page, www.facebook.com/awfmethodists, are helping to make us more widely known. Our quarterly publication, “The Circuit Writer,” is published and distributed in both electronic and printed form and provides interesting articles and photographs concerning Alabama-West Florida Methodist history and the activities of the Society.
We are continuing the work begun by the founders of the Society and those faithful members who have worked diligently to help preserve our shared heritage. We again recall the admonition in Job: “Ask the former generations and find out what their ancestors learned, for we were born only yesterday and knew nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.” (Job 8)
Respectfully Submitted, Jim Young, President 452 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Episcopacy Committee The Alabama-West Florida Episcopacy Committee met three times this year in the fall, winter and spring. We are a group of 20 lay people and clergy who convened on September 25, January 30 and May 1 to meet at Evergreen Methodist Church. Our committee members are: Duane Keck, Shirley Hodges, Marci McNeil, Paulette Thompson, Marsha Clayhton, Dan Morris, Steve Furr, Rurel Ausley, Karl Stegall, Susu Millsap, Clara Ester, Beverly Maddox, Cory Smith, Helen Edwards, Shirley Hodges, Larry Bryars, and Tonya Elmore. We have devotion, review minutes from the previous meetings, and discuss the goals of our conference. We share what is happening in our community churches and discuss how the conference impacts our churches. We set SMART (specific, measureable, attainable, relevant, and timely) goals for our committee and have meaningful conversation with Bishop Graves about his vision and goals for our conference and the progress made toward those goals. We address the areas of both progress and struggle for Bishop Graves and what we can do to assist him. Our focus is on improvement in the areas designated as Staff Priorities for our Conference to include: Growing God’s kingdom by making disciples, attracting and retaining exceptional talent, being adaptive leaders through uncharted times and teaching, training and coaching to support excellent preaching. We are committed to continuous improvement with the issues facing our conference such as; • Recruiting leaders and ministers with emphasis on young people to seminary • Deteriorating facilities • Mentoring, training, and coaching younger pastors and district superintendents • Supporting rural, fragile, isolated and/or declining enrollment churches • Helping church laity and clergy deal with difficult people • Building teams in the conference office and in our churches • Bringing clarity to clergy/lay people about the decisions facing the Council of Bishops • Emphasizing relationships, communication and high productivity • Meeting with various leadership staffs and ethnic groups to promote diversity • Paying attention to the appointment process • Increasing membership in our churches and making disciples for Christ • Nurturing our lay leaders
During this year our conference has been challenged with Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle and a series of tornadoes in Alabama and has reacted quickly and generously. We have noted the realignment of conference staff for cost savings, working beyond silos and better use of leadership by Bishop Graves. Core team values have been: do everything with excellence, get in the right lane and stay together to grow God’s kingdom, attract and retain exceptional JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 453 talent, live out the Great Commission and strengthen leaders for uncharted times. The conference staff has conducted a 360 Evaluation and focused on supporting the churches. We have spoken openly with Bishop Graves about his challenges and prayed for him during the General Conference for God’s will to prevail, the proceedings to be orderly, and our churches to have unity. Bishop Graves speaks in over 40 churches a year and conducts numerous town hall meetings. He works to unite people of different opinions and diverse cultures and keeps our conference informed. He is authentic, transparent, committed and caring as our leader.
The Jurisdictional Committee requires each conference to conduct a quadrennial evaluation of the bishop’s work. May 1 we discussed the Evaluation of Bishop Graves. This Evaluation Process is required and we are grateful to Steve Furr, Larry Bryars, Mary Catherine Phillips, and Lauren Smith for their help in completing this survey. It is a standard instrument developed by the SEJ Episcopacy Committee to evaluate Episcopal Leadership in each Conference. A survey was sent to all members of the Episcopacy Committee, Core Team, Cabinet, and Conference Leadership. Once the survey was received and returned anonymously results were compiled and reviewed by the members of the Episcopacy committee. At our meeting May 1 we had the presence of District Superintendent, Doug Pennington, for discussion purposes. The results of the survey were discussed with Bishop Graves before the meeting and then with the entire group. Over forty surveys were returned and the results were evaluated in eight areas including: Ongoing Formation, Administrative Responsibilities in Episcopal Areas, Leadership, Preaching and Teaching, Appointment Making, Building Healthy Relationships, Articulating and Supporting the Initiatives of the UMC, and Strengthening the Connection. Of these eight areas the most important to the survey respondents were Leadership and Appointment Making and the least important was Ongoing Formation. Individual indicators were discussed by the Episcopacy Committee with discussion from Cabinet, Core Team and Conference Leadership.
It was noted that 18 indicators were rated at over 90% Highly Effective or Effective. There was discussion regarding certain indicators that were rated primarily Do Not Know due to the lack of knowledge in certain areas of those completing the survey. Bishop Graves was noted as a leader to be “real and authentic in an anxious culture”, “consistent and genuine in his love for people”, “a person of integrity”, “a heart for mission and ministry”, “a leader with hope during a season of hardship”, “a servant heart”, “compassionate, fair and friendly ”, “exceptional, caring, relational”, “committed to bringing more disciples to Christ”, “warm, devoted, willing to listen and act”, “a gifted and inspirational speaker”, “excellent communication skills”, “seeks to hear all voices and seeks for all voices to be heard” and “works diligently to promote unity”. 454 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Our suggestions were for Bishop Graves to spend more time in self-care with family and continue to address women and minorities in the appointment making process.
In the fall a visiting Bishop will meet with us and we will share progress toward our goals and receive his/her insights. We will discuss our Evaluation of Bishop Graves at that time. We are proud to represent this conference as your Episcopacy Committee and pray God’s blessings on Bishop Graves and all leaders in the work of this Alabama Northwest Florida Conference.
Respectfully submitted,
Alexis Tibbetts Chairperson JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 455 Conference Agency Reports Blue Lake United Methodist Assembly The mission of Blue Lake United Methodist Assembly is making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world while connecting people to God’s creation.
Blue Lake’s core values are to be an intentional place apart: extend genuine Christian hospitality and community; nurture Christian faith and discipleship; develop Christian spiritual leaders; teach creation care and appreciation; collaborate with United Methodist Churches and agencies; and equip guests to do love and service.
2018 brought some challenges to Blue Lake. We were not directly hit by Hurricane Michel, but we saw a reduction in the number of groups and participants due to the devastation of the storm. With our disaster relief building, we were able to collect and distribute supplies to those people who needed help after the storm.
Blue Lake continues to upgrade our facilities. We are constantly trying to improve the internet access at camp. We replaced the roof at the Pinewood Gym and Dining Hall with a metal roof. The Hospitality House is open for pastors to come to Blue Lake for their own personal retreat. With the help of the NOMADS we removed 2 of the remaining older Dogwood cabins and used some of the wood (from the early 50’s) to build farm style dining tables, that we are selling.
We continue to work hard to provide the best experience for our guests from food service, programing and hospitality. God has provided Blue Lake with a staff that are dedicated to the mission of this ministry and love being able to give to the members of the Alabama West Florida Conference.
Blue Lake is grateful for the Board Members who commit to serve and to vision the future of this ministry. A special thanks to Elizabeth Sandoe for her service as chairperson of the board. We are grateful to the NOMADS ministry that come to camp each year and help us with camp projects that we would struggle to do without them. These updates to the camp help us to provide the most inviting, comfortable, and safe space possible. We are grateful for the many organizations, families, churches, and individuals who come to Blue Lake for worship, recreation, fellowship and respite. And for the parents who trust us to help in the spiritual formation of their children. 456 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE We are also grateful to Bishop Graves, Cabinet, Clergy and members of the Alabama West Florida Conference, who continue to love us, pray for our ministry, support us, and share our space with joy and passion.

Methodist Homes of Alabama & Northwest Florida The latter part of 2018 brought unprecedented challenges and opportunities for ministries with a connection to the Florida panhandle in the wake of Hurricane Michael. With a network of retirement communities in Alabama and Northwest Florida, Methodist Homes was put to the test. Due to the increasing threat, we made the decision to fully evacuate Mathison Retirement Community, our Methodist Home in Panama City, even though the community was not under a mandatory evacuation order. All of Mathison’s 79 residents were successfully evacuated by Tuesday, October 9, ahead of the October 10 storm. While many residents departed with family members, twenty-seven residents evacuated by bus to a Montgomery hotel, along with seven of Mathison’s staff members and four Methodist Homes staff members accompanying them on the journey.
The bus made a stop for lunch on October 9 at Wesley Place on Honeysuckle in Dothan, another Methodist Home, and from there, traveled to a Montgomery hotel for safe refuge. Staff members from Wesley Gardens, our Methodist Home in Montgomery, brought meals to the hotel for each breakfast, lunch and dinner, and even some entertainment during the 3-day hotel stay, while waiting for damage reports out of Panama City. When it became clear that damage to the area was quite extensive, four of our other Methodist Homes care communities reached out to provide temporary housing for the evacuees.
Wesley Place on Honeysuckle, Wesley Gardens, Fair Haven and Wesley Haven Villa located furnishings, made space, and opened their arms to welcome residents from Mathison. Current residents brought gifts to their temporary neighbors to help them feel at home. Staff members made sure the Mathison residents were welcomed to their community activities and social functions. Local churches reached out with donations of clothing and other personal items.
This experience has taught us how fortunate we are to have a network of retirement and health care communities. Meeting the needs of our Panama City residents during Mathison’s evacuation and restoration would have been much harder if we had not been able to depend on help from our other communities in Birmingham, Dothan, Montgomery and Pensacola. These are places where people became the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need. We are blessed to have re-opened Mathison after an almost 6-month absence! JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 457 We also continue to enjoy providing safe, affordable apartment homes for people with low income since 1981. Our affordable housing communities in the Conference, which are The Epworth House in Selma and Wesley Scott Place in Pensacola, each underwent improvements during the past year, some of which will continue into 2019.
As always, I want to thank you for your support of the Fountain of Love Fund, and ask that you continue to remember the Fountain of Love in your churches. Each special offering, missions grant, and missions budget item, as well as apportionment giving, helps make it possible for us to take care of residents who find they are no longer able to pay for their entire monthly care.
Thank you for your faithful support and prayers for the Fountain of Love and all our Methodist Homes in the Conference and beyond.

United Methodist Children’s Home What a Difference a Year Makes for One of Our 1,348 Kids Served
Another great year in ministry to those in need: 24,116 days of foster care provided to 165 children and youth. 17,097 days of care delivered to 83 youth in residential homes. 1,021 individuals served (representing 265 families) through intensive in-home treatment. 27 forever homes found for children.
Charles arrived at UMCH with little more than a lot of heartache. He clutched a white trash bag that contained his only belongings, he was years behind in school, and he couldn’t make eye contact or carry on a conversation. After finding a safe, stable home at UMCH, Charles began to thrive. For the first time in a long time, he has a clean bed, regular meals and snacks, a routine, and a host of people who care about him and pray for him. As a teenager, he finally knows how it feels to be loved. 458 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE The UMCH staff knew it had been more than five years since Charles had been in a classroom, and they weren’t sure where he would rank academically. Testing showed he has a high IQ, and with the help of the local school system, Charles received a semester of intense academic instruction.
“He’s like a sponge,” Janet Rawls, Southern regional director for UMCH, said. “He just absorbs everything he can.” Charles caught up so quickly he was ready to return to school the next semester. He finished with the highest grade point average of any of his UMCH peers.
As his confidence grew, Charles became open to taking on new challenges. He joined the football team, completed his second 5k this year, is making new friends and is learning to laugh again. His new attitude earned him a spot on UMCH’s mission trip last summer. He and 25 other kids traveled to New York City to share God’s love and help those less fortunate. Charles attends church, volunteers in his community and is eagerly anticipating another mission trip to New Mexico this summer.
“And it’s the support of our United Methodist Churches and members that made all this possible for Charles, and many other children like him. The support we receive each year for children like Charles makes me extremely proud to be numbered among the people called Methodists. Thank you for seeing the great needs of our children year after year and responding so generously,” said Dr. K. Blake Horne, President and CEO.

Alabama-West Florida United Methodist Foundation 40th Anniversary 2019 marks a significant milestone for the Foundation as we enter into our 40th year of ministry to the AWF Conference. We welcome you to join us as we celebrate the anniversary of this ministry of generosity! Our mission is to encourage generosity as a way of life, foster planned giving, develop successful endowment programs, and manage funds to strengthen the work of Christ’s church. We view everything we do as a ministry of generosity, and our goal as an AWF Conference agency is to see lives changed, generosity increased, churches grow, and ministries expand. We are in the transformational, not transactional, business.
Vision for a United Methodist Foundation in the AWF Conference started among a group of dedicated United Methodist men and women. The dream was for an agency that would bridge the gap between the mission and financial needs of the church both presently and into the future. January 11, 1979, this dream for the Foundation became a reality, and the Alabama-West Florida United Methodist Foundation was born. Passionate about the Foundation and its ministry, founding members each pledged to give $5,000 in seed money over the course of 5 years to help start its work. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 461 Before 1991 the Foundation had met its goals to raise $10 million in assets, be one of the few self-sustaining Foundations in the country, and was ranked in the top 20% of all United Methodist Foundations regarding assets under management.
Through the years the mission of the Foundation has remained the same, but our services have grown and expanded to cover a variety of financial planning and stewardship areas to include the Planned Giving Program, investment management and administration, free resources and generosity workshops, and being able to assist donors and their advisors in completing various gift vehicles.
With the generosity of donors, churches, and agencies, the Foundation is blessed to manage over $90 million in assets currently and has been able to return $85 million back into the AWF Conference since 1979. These funds are helping to support ministry and transform lives in their communities, in the Conference, and beyond.
Our Services: Free Resources As a result of our partnerships with churches and agencies, we are providing free resources and services to encourage good stewardship in the AWF Conference. These resources include: • Monthly eblasts containing valuable tips and resources that can be copied and used in the local church • Quarterly newsletters with updates on ways to promote generosity and new ways to give • A Marketing Handbook, brochures, and printables that highlight legacy giving, generosity, and financial stewardship as a way of life 462 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Church Endowment Programs Endowment programs help facilitate planned giving in the church. We offer a personalized step-by-step guide and marketing materials designed to educate, encourage, and support future financial needs of your church. In 2018 the Foundation continued to cultivate relationships with churches and ministries. Rather than take a “one size fits all” approach to each account relationship, we tailor endowments to meet specific disbursement and investment needs of each ministry.
Investment Services Our investment services are uniquely created to provide diversified, low-cost investment options for managing church and agency funds. The Foundation staff assists in developing a custom investment plan for each participating organization or donor. Returns on our investment funds were outstanding again in 2018, outperforming benchmarks in two of our three Common Funds.
Generosity Development/Workshops We offer generosity development to churches and agencies through educational programs that foster a better understanding of giving and stewardship as acts of worship and discipleship. Workshops are available on long-term financial planning, investment strategies, wills and estate planning, charitable gift options, the gift-making process, and more.
Fund Administration Services We provide trust fund accounting, regular disbursements, and all other fiduciary administration in easy to read statements. Foundation statements are mailed and available online for authorized church members.
To learn more about the Foundation’s services email us at foundation@alwfumf. org or call (334) 793-6820.

Ex-Officio Members: The Resident Bishop, All District Superintendents, and the Conference Lay Leader. 464 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Conference Board and Ministries Reports Alabama Rural Ministry (ARM) Vision: Transformed rural communities with sustainable homes, strong families, and strategic communities for the glory of God.
Mission: Discovering, developing, and deploying spiritual leaders that as disciples’ of Christ, minister with under-resourced and rural communities to create sustainable homes, strengthen families, and build strategic community partnerships for the glory of God.
Thank you for another great year! Working together, we have extended Jesus’ love throughout Alabama and beyond. We must not take the pedal off the gas. So many people need to experience the love of Jesus and need vital repairs and interventions to break the chains of poverty and injustice.
We are grateful for the ways our Conference supports ARM! We are passionate about developing servant leaders who are working with us to transform communities by creating sustainable homes, strengthening families, and building strategic partnerships! All for God’s glory!
Here is a glimpse into 2018 and part of 2019:
Sustainable Homes: Owner Occupied Home Repair: We served with 21 families making their homes warn, safe, dry and beautiful!
• Due to Hurricane Michael, ARM is opening a site with Marianna FUMC and Graceville UMC hosting youth teams for disaster response.
Our affordable housing project for veterans in Tuskegee ran into some setbacks. However, we are on track to complete the renovation of this abandoned house into a home for two veterans by Spring of 2019.
Special Work Days: MLK Days of Service (January 19 and 21, 2019) hosted over 169 volunteers fanning out into the Macon and Lee County community doing home repair, children’s ministry, serving at the food pantry, and street cleanup. A community worship service was held on Sunday night honoring the work and legacy of Dr. King.
My Jerusalem with Way to Serve ministry: This incorporates two large service days per year, October and April. Each one hosts 250-300 volunteers and in partnership with a similar ministry in Opelika. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 465 Strengthen Families: Son Shine Kids Day Camp continued serving in both Livingston and Tuskegee each hosting approximately 35 kids ages 6-11. Several churches and individuals helped fund the camp by becoming a day camp sponsor. Each camp costs $10,000 and we raised over $26,000 through our sponsorships.
Leadership Development: Summer Mission Teams: Unfortunately, it was a “down year” for us and we did not host as many summer youth groups. In 2017 we hosted 21 summer teams but this year we hosted only 16 teams. ARM continues to host our summer mission teams and the most fruitful time of our ministry. During the day youth serve in home repair and day camp ministry. At night, they dig into the scriptures, worship together and process their experience with the intent of taking the ministry back home. Mission volunteers (co-laborers), 757 to be exact prayed, served, and grew in their discipleship while laboring logging 12,551 service hours.
Something new: This summer, we taught youth some principles of taking an idea and making it into an action plan. By pulling Mission Insight reports for their community, we were able to help them understand their current context. Using Nehemiah and rebuilding the city wall of Jerusalem, we taught them how to develop a vision, mission, values, and strategies so they could be more intentional in their home communities. With this information, they developed a “blue print for mission” and consecrated each team’s plans at our closing worship each week. We followed up with these youth groups to see how they were using their plans in their community.
The summer mission sites are run by 14-16 college students who serve as camp counselors.
ARM@AU: Our student organization was in its third year this past fall and continues to grow on the Auburn campus. They serve one Saturday per month and help coordinate ARM events with the AU campus. Plans are underway for more student groups across the state.
The big fundraisers: Cycle of Service 2018 remained a 3 day, 85-100 miles/ day ride across the Black Belt. It raised over $26,000! Cycle of Service 2019 is a 2.5 day ride going from Mississippi to the Chattahoochee River in Phenix City, Alabama.
What’s coming? ARM is developing two main initiatives: One is an intensive internship year living in Christian community and serving directly in the Macon and Lee County Communities. We working with United Methodist supported seminaries in this effort. 466 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Secondly, we recognize the struggle of small membership churches especially with their youth and mission dreams. Through a district model, we will be working with districts to establish district mission teams that can serve with ARM even if they only have a few youth. Stay tuned!
We are so grateful to all of our church partners, district ministry partners and all of our Wesley Foundations! We look forward to how God will continue to grow us in the future as we work to make disciples for the transformation of the world!

The ARK The ARK has been blessed with another awesome year of being the presence of Jesus Christ on Panama City Beach through its housing, its coffee and it’s wonderful hospitality!
The Pour has had another great year, despite losing its top floor apartment & roof to a post Hurricane Michael fire. As a result of the fire The Pour had to close, but have just repaired the roof damage at a cost of $23K and plan to reopen before the end of March. The Pour remains ranked as the #1 coffee spot on the beach JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 467 and have benefited so much by becoming the local & tourist hangout for meet- ups, coffee & conversation. The mission wall tells the story inside the coffee shop and gets lots of attention, questions and requests for tours for all those interested. The Pour has become the front door of the ARK to the world!! This year we hope to incorporate an evening venue including foreign films and local music.
In 2018 the ARK housed over 120 college age evangelists in training, 40 J1 Visa International students from around the world, 25 families in need of transitional housing and currently 40 Hurricane Michael evacuees as well as over 100 post- storm volunteers. Also, Anchorage Children’s Home temporarily relocated into one of the buildings due to their entire facility being lost in the storm. The storm evacuees continue to move out to permanent housing, some locally but due to the limited housing supply many have moved to other cities. The volunteers have been a blessing to The ARK and Bay County coming through an array of doors such as UMCOR all the way to small churches in NYC. We send out a huge “Thank-You” to all of those who have donated their time, talent and love to help all the needy in Bay County.
Co-Directors Mike & Liz Bennett continue to serve and be served in what they call “One of the most beautiful burdens of their lives”. They have decided 2019 will be their last year at The Ark as Co-Directors, but with God’s guidance will hopefully continue on the ARK BOD team.
The ARK is in a great position for an awesome 2019 season. The buildings are in very good shape with minimum to no storm damage other than the Pour roof. The opportunities to serve new guests in the off season has never been larger. Ongoing talks with alternative spring break group leaders, storm volunteers and a few other unique opportunities will round out the off season better than ever.
We thank you all for your prayers, cards, notes, donations and beautiful support during this traumatic Hurricane Michael time. Our prayer is that The ARK continue to be the light of Jesus Christ to those in the storms of their lives that surround us every day.
Peace!! The ARK!
Submitted by Mike Bennett 468 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Communities of Transformation Communities of Transformation (COT) is a ministry of the Alabama West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. This initiative is a Conference-wide effort to engage in ministry with the poor (not to or for), which is one of the four areas of focus of the United Methodist Church. Our ministry reaches those who live on the margins of society – families who struggle, who live in isolation, who are unemployed and underemployed, who are recovering addicts, and families who are stuck in all manner of difficult life circumstances.The mission of Communities of Transformation is to move families from surviving to thriving by developing personal leadership skills and building authentic relationships. Families are moving out of isolation and into community as they develop relationship skills, go back to school, get new jobs, and become more financially stable. Transformation is occurring in our volunteers as individuals who have been going to church their whole lives gain a new understanding of mission, learn to share their faith in a new way, open their eyes to broken systems, and walk with the community as they have never done before.
This initiative of the AWFUMC has resulted in the formation of surprising and unprecedented community alliances. New partnerships have been formed as others have stepped forward to join the United Methodist Church in this COT effort. Partners have included churches from many denominational backgrounds, community leaders, public officials, and community agencies. Diverse, multicultural leadership teams work together to support and guide each local site. Community agencies and other denominational groups have contributed time, talent, labor, and passion, as well as in-kind and cash donations to the ministry. Transformation in the community wouldn’t be possible without the community ownership taking place in every aspect of this ministry.
Communities of Transformation is an ambitious initiative, a volunteer- driven ministry that requires broad congregational, denominational, and community support. The upfront communication, visioning, and preparatory work required to position a community for start-up is extensive and very time consuming. We currently have ten sites: Brewton, Dothan, Eufaula, Evergreen, Mobile, Montgomery, Phenix City, Pine Hill, Santa Rosa Beach, and Selma. Katy Wrona was named director in August of 2018. Katy has been part of Communities of Transformation from the start, most recently serving as Mobile’s site coordinator.
Sharing Good News is an important part of our weekly meetings, and we would like to share our Good News with you.
Brewton enjoys working with local schools. Our partnership allows us to work in the Wonder Garden at Brewton Elementary School, and our volunteers love reading to students! COT Brewton hosted a Pastors’ Luncheon with Brewton FUMC to help raise awareness and build community in the district. JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 469 Dothan is the longest running Communities of Transformation site. In 2018, they celebrated five participants graduating from Wallace Community College; two of those are continuing their education at Troy University Dothan. Trainer Rosaland Harrison worked double duty as the site searched for a new coordinator. Angela Smith has stepped into that role and looks forward to establishing new community partners to increase community engagement.
Eufaula has had eight classes complete the Awaken curriculum. Relationship building is a priority for this site, and it is accomplished in several ways. Game nights are always fun, and this year the group enjoyed a special excursion as they walked together to experience Christmas Open Houses for several of the shops in downtown Eufaula. Sometimes doing ordinary activities with groups we may not usually connect with can bring a deeper sense of understanding and community for all of us. Our focus for the last year has been to expand the support for COT in more local churches. This ecumenical drive has been fully embraced by our leadership team. We have been meeting with pastors and speaking to mission teams.
Evergreen In addition to classes, training, S.M.A.R.T. Goals, programs, and meetings, the Evergreen COT Site has ongoing projects which have solidified our relational ministry. The Community Garden continues to be an outreach and a blessing to the community as it expands in size and beauty. To express our love and joy as well as share information about COT, a Community Choir has been organized and has performed on several occasions for churches and civic groups. It has been such a delight learning music from each other and combining our diversity in a celebration of praise to Him!
Mobile has experienced a year of new beginnings. Rebecca Levins began work as the new coordinator in Mobile in September. They have also moved to a new meeting location at Redemption Baptist Church West Campus. We are so excited to see how God chooses to use these new beginnings to touch lives in Mobile!
Montgomery moved to a new meeting site at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church in 2018. They ended the year with COT Awards, with everyone receiving a trophy made from old cans spray painted and decorated. It was a fun way to recognize the energy and gifts each member brings to weekly meetings!
Phenix City is working to secure funding to launch counseling services to address needs in their community. They continue to be a close knit, welcoming, and devoted group, excited about their future. COT in Phenix City has recently partnered with Chattahoochee Valley Community College, Columbus State, and the local Housing Authority to establish dependable referral sources to reach families in need of support. 470 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE Pine Hill continues to move forward under the leadership of site coordinator Brenda Autry. In their first full year of classes, the site held their first celebration for five people who completed the Awaken curriculum. Their annual participation in the MLK Walk from the Wilcox county courthouse to historic Antioch Baptist Church is a heartwarming tradition filled with song, cheer, and fellowship. This is a site on the go!
Selma has secured grants from multiple community organizations to help fund the programs integral to their site. Volunteer Jan Justice and trainer Jerria Martin work alongside site coordinator Margaret Bennett to offer book studies, tax help, job readiness, and more to participants striving for a better future.
Santa Rosa Beach is our newest site and our first site in Florida. We are so excited to expand to this area! Site Coordinator Emily Proctor held the first event, “Beyond Relief,” in November of 2018. In February the site sponsored a Cost of Poverty Experience to raise awareness about the needs in Walton County with over 100 people attending. After an overwhelmingly positive response from the community, the first class started in March 2019 at Good News UMC in Santa Rosa Beach.
We are thankful to all the churches, pastors, and lay leaders who work with Communities of Transformation to change lives and impact our communities. We look forward to meeting more of you who would like to become involved. Our plans for 2019 include continued growth, sustainability, and transformation across our conference and beyond.

Inspired by Jesus Christ, Hinton Rural Life Center’s purpose is to engage individuals, congregations, and communities in transformation through retreat ministry and missional outreach.
Don’t just go to church. Be the Church. This motto describes Hinton Center pretty well. Like a church, our campus is a physical place where people come to worship, learn, and serve, as well as retreat, reflect, and renew. But, Hinton Center is more than just a place. Through our ministries and mission outreach opportunities, we engage individuals, groups, churches, and organizations – both local and from across the Southeastern Jurisdiction -- in ways that impact our rural Appalachian community, improve quality of life, and give hope. As we focus on loving God and loving neighbor, our prayer is that everyone who connects with Hinton Center – whether as a guest, volunteer, mission team member, workshop participant, local homeowner, business owner, or partnering organization – experiences God’s transforming love.
In 2018, guided by our Quality of Life Study, Hinton Center made homes safer and healthier, encouraged understanding of mental health and substance use, and promoted community-wide volunteer opportunities. We’ve been awarded numerous grants and continued to strengthen our ministries both on and off campus. Our 2018 ministry highlights include:
• Received over $575,000 in grants, including funding for: • Youth and adult leadership programs, such as Leadership Chatuge, funded by a grant from The Duke Endowment • Mental Health First Aid training, through the Evergreen Foundation; our staff has provided MHFA training for educators in the Clay County and Cherokee County school systems • Young Clergy Initiative funding, from the UM General Board of Higher Education and Ministry; this funding supported a “God Powered Search” leadership training event for high school students interested in serving as future summer mission outreach staff. • Served 334 families through our Firewood, Christmas Cares, and Safe and Healthy Home Repair ministries • Completed 237 home repair projects for 29 homes • Hosted 51 church mission teams, with 46 from the SEJ • Completed our Lakeside Worship Center, with significant help from the NOMADS team led by Jim and Mary Jo Reeves; began hosting our annual Easter Sunrise Service there JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 473 • Launched a regional Volunteer Center promoting ministry through service in the community, with over 25,000 volunteer hours in 2018 • Produced 785 pounds of food from the Hinton garden, used in our dining services and distributed to food programs in our community
We also launched two new initiatives to promote Hinton’s resources and mission opportunities throughout the SEJ: • Our Hinton Ambassadors Ministry equips ten clergy from different annual conferences in the SEJ to represent Hinton Center in their ministry settings, each serving as a resource for information on Hinton Center’s ministry and mission offerings in his/her annual conference. They include: David Fuquay (FL); Laura Plaster (Holston); Ed Trimmer (TN); Adlene Kufarimai (N AL); Shannon Boaz (KY); Joshua Goocey (NC); Rebekah Ralph (WNC); Ed Archer (N GA); Bill Culpepper (S GA); Jonathan Tompkins (SC). • Hinton Center is helping to sponsor FCF Confirm confirmation retreats at Lake Junaluska. Our presence at these retreats is introducing a new generation of United Methodists to Hinton Rural Life Center as a place where they can go to retreat and serve . . . and BE the Church!

Africa University Africa University thrives in ministry because of the steadfast support of local congregations of The United Methodist Church. Thank you to the leaders and members of the Alabama-West Florida Conference for prioritizing Africa University with the contribution of 92.60 percent of your asking to the Africa University Fund (AUF) apportionment in 2018.
Through its investment in the Africa University Fund, the Alabama-West Florida Conference continues to affirm the university’s core mission of nurturing leaders who help communities to know Christ and to experience peace, sustainable livelihoods, food security and abundant health. Thank you for your steadfast commitment and generosity.
Institutional Update: • In 2018, Africa University enrolled more than 700 new students and maintained an overall enrollment of around 2,000 students. There were 474 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 25 African countries represented in the student body. Women made up 53 percent of the student population, which is almost twice the average for African higher education institutions. • Throughout 2018, Africa University weathered the challenges of operating in Zimbabwe’s depressed and uncertain socio-economic environment in Zimbabwe with creativity and prudence. The university delivered teaching, learning and community service activities of high- quality without interruption. Key enhancements in 2018 included the refurbishment of three residence halls for women students and the full implementation of an ERP software system to integrate and manage all facets of the university’s operations. • With conflict, poverty, and the impact of climate change persisting as the key drivers of food insecurity and the rise in internal displacement, migration, and refugeehood in Africa, the university consolidated its position as a trailblazer by offering new graduate training and research opportunities. Africa University has also continued to provide scholarships for refugee women so that their experiences, talents and ideas help to shape the solutions. • Africa University delivered critical data for reducing malaria deaths in southern Africa and controlling the spread of insect-borne diseases world-wide. AU’s insectary—a laboratory for rearing and studying live insects, such as mosquitos—shares its findings through the Southern Africa Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research. This data informs regional policies, practices and malaria control efforts.
The students, faculty, administrators and trustees of Africa University thank the members of the Alabama-West Florida Conference for their prayers and support, which continue to grow and sustain this ministry. Thank you, Alabama-West Florida United Methodists, for all that you have sown into Africa University over the past 27 years. As Africa University and the Alabama-West Florida Conference move forward together in missional engagement, we trust in God’s unending grace for the increase.

Candler School of Theology For more than 100 years, Candler School of Theology at Emory University has prepared real people to make a real difference in the real world. Since our founding in 1914, more than 10,000 students have graduated from Candler, where they have been shaped as thoughtful, principled, and courageous leaders dedicated to transforming the world in the name of Jesus Christ.
This is especially important to note amid the current uncertainty in our denomination. It is an honor and a privilege for Candler to be one of 13 official seminaries of The United Methodist Church. Yet true to the Methodist tradition of ecumenical openness, Candler has enthusiastically welcomed the entire Wesleyan family to our community for generations. Faculty, staff, and students from the AME Church, the AMEZ Church, the CME Church, Free Methodists, Nazarenes, and others have worked, worshiped, learned, and prayed alongside United Methodists, and have been a vital part of shaping Candler and our mission. This diversity has been a wonderful gift and a rich blessing. As we move forward from the Special Session of General Conference, we will continue to invite and welcome wholeheartedly those from all expressions of the Wesleyan tradition. Indeed, we will continue to welcome all those who follow Jesus Christ.
Candler is also privileged to be one of seven graduate professional schools of Emory University in Atlanta. With the resources of a top-tier research institution and the reach of a global city, our students benefit from a rich academic and hands-on learning environment: The General Board of Global Ministries is in Atlanta, as are numerous public health, international development, and social service organizations. Candler’s intentional involvement with our surrounding community has contributed to our inclusion on a list of “Seminaries that Change the World” for six years running. In short, there is no better place to prepare for 478 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE ministry that engages our major denominational priorities: developing leaders, starting and growing churches, ministry with the poor, and improving global health.
In order to keep pace with the needs of the church and the world, Candler offers 16 degrees: six single degrees and ten dual degrees pairing theology with bioethics, business, international development, law, public health, and social work. Our Doctor of Ministry degree is 90 percent online, so students can remain in their places of ministry and immediately apply to their context what they learn in class. Our Teaching Parish program allows eligible United Methodist students to serve as pastors in local churches while they’re enrolled—they earn a salary as they earn course credit and pastoral experience, plus they are mentored by an experienced United Methodist elder.
Candler’s student body continues to reflect the diversity and breadth of the Christian faithful, with an enrollment of 453, reflecting 51 percent women, 39 percent people of color (U.S.), and a median age of 27 among MDivs. Students represent 44 denominations, with half coming from the Methodist family.
Candler has a deep commitment to alleviating student debt and promoting financial literacy. In 2018-2019, we awarded $5.8 million in Candler scholarships, with 100 percent of MDiv students receiving aid. Plus, our comprehensive “Faith & Finance” program teaches money management skills that serve our students now and will continue to serve them—and the churches they lead—well into the future.
Candler draws considerable strength and inspiration from its relationship with The United Methodist Church. Our ability to fulfill our mission of educating faithful and creative leaders for the church’s ministries throughout the world depends upon your prayers, partnership, and support. Thank you for the countless ways you advance this vital ministry in the life of our denomination. Visit us in person or online at candler.emory.edu to see firsthand how Candler prepares real people to make a real difference in the real world.

Duke Divinity School In August of 2018, L. Gregory Jones, the Ruth W. and A. Morris Williams Jr. Distinguished Professor of Theology and Christian Ministry, began serving as dean following Elaine Heath’s departure. Jones, who earned M.Div. and Ph.D. degrees from Duke, was previously dean of Duke Divinity from 1997- JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 479 2010. Jones was asked to lead the school in enhancing its ties with church constituencies, strengthening its academic credibility, attending to cultural challenges, and addressing financial challenges. As he assumed the role of dean, Jones noted, “We need to build bridges across various divides in the church, the academy, and across society. Christian faith can play a significant role in this bridge building.” This academic year Duke Divinity School has been working steadily on these tasks.
Admissions: Duke Divinity School welcomed an entering class of approximately 200 new students from 30 different states and several countries, including China, South Korea, the UK, and Zimbabwe. Our Master of Divinity program remains central to our identity, enrolling 112 students. Our Master of Theological Studies and Master of Arts in Christian Practice programs received enrollments of 24 students and 14 students, respectively. The Master of Theology (nine students), Doctor of Ministry (22 students), and Doctor of Theology (four students) all had strong enrollment. Our new Certificate in Theology and Health Care saw enrollment double this year to eight students. The ages of students enrolled in the M.Div. program range from 21 to 69, with a median age of 23, and students from minority groups comprised more than 22 percent of incoming M.Div. students, with black students making up 15 percent. Across all degree programs at the Divinity School, 32 percent of the incoming class identified as a race/ ethnicity other than white (an increase from 26 percent last year). Black students made up 18 percent of all students; Hispanic students, two percent; Asian students, seven percent; and American Indian students, one percent. For the first time, the majority of students entering the Doctor of Ministry program identify as an ethnic group other than white. Female students made up 51 percent of incoming M.Div. students, while males were 49 percent. It was only the second time in school history that the incoming cohort of M.Div. students had a female majority (2005 being the other year). Across the degree programs, 42 percent of students in the incoming class were female, and 58 percent were male. There were 23 denominations represented in the M.Div. entering class, with 55 percent affiliated with the United Methodist Church (up from 41 percent last year). Nondenominational students made up 17 percent of the new M.Div. students; Baptists, eight percent; and Anglican-Episcopal, three percent.
New Faculty: Several new faculty members joined the Divinity School community in July 2018, demonstrating Duke Divinity School’s ongoing commitment to the church, the academy, and the church’s witness in the world. • Christopher Beeley, the Jack and Barbara Bovender Professor of Theology, Anglican Studies, and Ministry and director of the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies, is an Anglican priest and a founding member of the Episcopal Gathering of Leaders. He has ministered in parishes in Texas, Indiana, Virginia, and Connecticut. Prior to joining the Duke faculty, Beeley taught for 16 years at Yale Divinity School. 480 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE • David Emmanuel Goatley, research professor of theology and black church studies and director of the Office of Black Church Studies, is ordained in the National Baptist Convention, USA, and serves in leadership capacities with the NAACP, Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, and the Baptist World Alliance and the World Council of Churches. He was for 23 years the executive director of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society. • Jan Holton, associate professor of the practice of pastoral theology and care, is an ordained elder in the Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Holton most recently served in an extension ministry with Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS) in New Haven, Conn., and was a member of the faculty at Yale Divinity School from 2006 to 2015. • Patrick T. Smith, associate research professor of theological ethics and bioethics and a senior fellow at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University, is also associate faculty with Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities, and the History of Medicine. Smith is licensed and ordained with the National Baptist Convention, USA and comes to Duke from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and Harvard Medical School.
United Methodists: Professor Kate Bowler’s memoir, Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved, made The New York Times’ hardcover nonfiction bestseller list and received significant national recognition in mainstream and Christian media. The related podcast, “Everything Happens with Kate Bowler,” returns for a second season with new episodes on how people have faced dark times in their lives. Bowler, Sujin Pak, and Edgardo Colon- Emeric, all United Methodist faculty members, received tenure and promotion to the rank of associate professor in recent months. On July 1, 2018, Pak began serving as vice dean of academic affairs and Colon-Emeric started as director of the Center for Reconciliation. Jeff Conklin-Miller began serving as director of the Methodist House of Studies at the same time. Beginning February 1, 2019, Laceye Warner fills the new role of associate dean for Wesleyan engagement.
Looking to the Future: The Divinity School continues to discern fresh strategies to respond faithfully and wisely to the changing dynamics of the church, the academy, and the world. An example of our strategic work is a new focus throughout the school on Thriving Communities. Through this focus we are concentrating on the centrality of healthy congregations and gifted pastors in cultivating thriving communities. This approach offers opportunities to build on Duke Divinity School’s traditional strengths, but in a new key. We look forward to cultivating even stronger synergies among our work with the Clergy Health Initiative, Thriving Rural Communities, Hispanic House of Studies, and a revised Field Education program (all generously supported by The Duke Endowment), alongside longstanding commitments to the Office of Black Church Studies, the JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 481 Anglican/Episcopal and Baptist Houses of Study, and initiatives in Leadership Education; Theology and the Arts; and Theology, Medicine, and Culture.
Duke Divinity School is grateful for the strong ties that bind “the people called Methodist,” and we look forward to serving together as we bear witness to God’s future with hope.

INCLUSIVITY IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS Since the launch of our strategic plan in 2015, we have been working to pay greater attention to race, diversity, and inclusivity in our community.

ABOUT US Garrett-Evangelical is the result of the interweaving of three institutions: • Garrett Biblical Institute, the first Methodist seminary in the Midwest, was established in 1853 by some of the same church people who founded Northwestern University. • Chicago Training School, established in 1885, was an important force for women in ministry and for developing service agencies throughout Chicago. Chicago Training School merged with Garrett Biblical Institute in 1934. • Evangelical Theological Seminary, located in Naperville and founded as a seminary of the Evangelical Church (later the Evangelical United Brethren) in 1873, joined with Garrett Theological Seminary in 1974 to form Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.

Ohio Northern and MTSO announce 3+3 M.Div. program Ohio Northern University and MTSO have teamed up to offer incoming college students a unique 3+3 program leading to a Master of Divinity degree. The program is the only one of its kind in Ohio and one of only a few in the country. The typical path to an M.Div. requires seven years of undergrad and graduate study. Through the 3+3 program, students will save time and money by completing the degree in six years. Starting the program at ONU in Ada, they may choose one of three majors: religion, youth ministry, or religion and ecology. The next step is three years of study at MTSO. After their first year at MTSO, 3+3 students will complete a Bachelor of Arts degree from ONU. After completion of seminary coursework, they will earn an MTSO M.Div.

Lanette Tippin Cain Lanette Tippin Cain was born in Laurens, South Carolina on September 28, 1943. She was the daughter of John A. Tippin and Mildred Francis Fowler Tippin. She graduated from Ayer High School in Ayer, Massachusetts. She attended Faulkner State Community College later in life to further her education.
On January 13, 1962 in the Army Chapel at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, she married John Candler Cain, Jr. Together they raised three children: John Candler, III born in Prince George’s County Hospital, Cheverly, Maryland; Jeffrey Tippin born in Decatur General Hospital, Decatur, Alabama; and Laura Elizabeth also born in Decatur General Hospital, Decatur, Alabama.
Before marrying she was employed as a secretary with U.S. Army Post Transportation, Fort Devens, Massachusetts. Throughout her working life Lennie put her secretarial JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE 495 skills to use in a variety of venues. Among them was being self-employed as a contractor transcribing medical dictation. Just prior to her husband’s call to ministry she worked as a secretary for Mobile Mental Health Center, Mobile, Alabama (1987-1991) and during his first appointment she worked for Washington County Mental Health (1991- 1993). During her husband’s seminary years she served as Administrative Assistant to the president of Good News (1994-1997). And then, on returning to our conference, she commuted daily from Selma to Montgomery where she worked at the Alabama State Capitol (1997-2001). These and many other places she shared her love for Christ and His Church.
Her interests and hobbies were spending time with her family; working (through the years) in a variety of Emmaus Communities; working with children and youth in church settings; and taking long walks on the beach collecting shells.
As a minister’s wife she served with Rev. Cain in the following appointments: 1991 Minerva Memorial 2001 St. John, Mobile 1993 Student/Asbury Theological Seminary 2005 Theodore, Mobile 1994 West Bend (Kentucky Conference) 2008 Retired 1996 Student 2013 Retired, Supplying Daybreak 1997 Memorial, Selma 2014 Retired

She is also survived by many nieces and nephews and other family and friends.
Lennie was always involved in the Faith community where she lived. From guiding young Fairhope teens on a trip to Red Bird Missionary Conference (before her husband ever experienced God’s call to ministry) to serving in support of her husband beginning with his appointment to Minerva Memorial UMC in Washington County (his first appointment as a local pastor). There she taught Sunday School for three little girls who, every Sunday morning when they first sighted her, would run to her with squeals of delight calling out: “Miss Lennie, Miss Lennie!” Everywhere her husband was appointed, she served right beside him with her beautiful smile and her encouraging Christian witness. She was always her husband’s strongest encouragement and a rich blessing to the Faith Communities where they served.
She was always involved with the Emmaus Community wherever she went and was Lay Director for many Walks: from Blue Lake to the Lexington Community in Kentucky to Central Alabama to the establishment of the Servant Heart Community. Even when her health issues began to curtail her active involvement, you could always depend on her to pray!
Regarding the Servant Heart Women’s Walks to Emmaus, she said that if one was a child of the King, then she must be a princess! And so, through the years, she made a gift 496 JOURNAL of the ALABAMA-WEST FLORIDA CONFERENCE for each participant: a little “Princess Crown”. This child of the King was laid to rest wearing her little “Princess Crown.” Her legacy is her memorable smile and her strong Christian witness.

Ruby Dudley Coulliette Ruby Dudley Coulliette, 88, left this world for the next on Sunday, September 16, 2018 at her daughter’s home in Wilmore, Kentucky, surrounded by family and close friends.

Following their marriage on August 27, 1951 in Sneads, Florida, Brother Carl and Miss Ruby served for over forty-two years as pastor and wife in the Alabama West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. There was always a sense of co-ministry with them as their life together revolved around the life of the churches they served. Over the years an extensive ministry developed for Ruby in teaching young married couples in Sunday School. Many of those persons remained in close contact and loving relationship with her, pointing to her influence in their lives as the introduction to their own faith and the challenge to grow deeper in Christ. In 2001 Carl and Ruby moved to Wilmore to join their children after Carl’s health began to decline. Their home on Wise Drive became a welcome stop for most of the neighbors, families and children. In the years since Carl’s death, the home she continued to make by herself remained a warm and inviting place for friends and neighbors to meet, and for her to become an unofficial grandma to a host of young children.

Mrs. Wingard writes, I laughed when I read that I could store newspaper clippings in the Archives. . . sorry, I did not keep them. . . Marquis had to put all my books and his in the moving trucks. It would have taken another dozen boxes for all the newspaper clippings. He knew how to make his presence known in the community.

Marquis was the first spiritual director at the first Emmaus Walk at Blue Lake and for several walks thereafter.

A Resolution Concerning Predatory Lending in Alabama
WHEREAS, the state of Alabama allows payday lenders to charge fees that over the course of a year amount to 456% of the original loan, causing many borrowers to be trapped in debt they cannot repay, and
WHEREAS, The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church states in the Social Principles: “Financial institutions serve a vital role in society. They must guard, howev- er, against abusive and deceptive lending practices that take advantage of the neediest among us for the gain of the richest. Banking regulations must prevent the collection of usurious interest that keeps people in cycles of debt.” (Social Principles, 163J Finance), and
WHEREAS, the Bible forbids usury in dozens of passages from Exodus to the Gospels,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church calls upon the Alabama State Legislature to pass appropri- ate legislation to curb the activities of predatory lenders, and
LET IT FURTHER BE RESOLVED that United Methodists in the Alabama-West Florida Conference who are residents of Alabama be encouraged to contact their state legislators to ask that they support these efforts, and
LET IT FURTHER BE RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Governor of Alabama and every member of the Alabama State Legislature.

Discipline ¶ 349.3
General Church Budget Implications: None Context of Petition: Delete ¶ 349.3
Rationale: Deletion of ¶ 349.3 removes from the Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church the eight year review, which consists of a six month evaluation process for full members and local pastors. This evaluation process was prescribed by the 2016 General Confer- ence. The Discipline calls for each annual conference to develop and initiate a plan for such an assessment by January 1, 2020.
