Volunteer & Leadership Resources

ALL-CHURCH GATHERINGS
Everyone is welcome to these gatherings held in April & October on the 4th Monday evening of the month. Staff, lay leaders and all other interested members of the congregation come together for the purpose of worship, fellowship, and sharing information about what's going on in and through the ministries of MUMC.

In addition, the Leadership Development Team offers an annual leadership event to launch each new year and set our path. The 2024 Leadership Connection was held on Saturday, January 27, 2024. View a recording here (don't miss wonderful talks by Christa Tyson & Rev. Dawn Hand!), information handout packet here, and slide presentation here.
