✨ Commissioned to serve the next generation!

Last month, we celebrated a special milestone as leaders from our two-year Youth & Children’s Ministry Certification Program were commissioned for ministry. After seasons of learning, formation, prayer, and practical experience, these leaders are stepping forward equipped to serve children, students, families, and the Church with wisdom and care.

We’re grateful for each person who said “yes” to this journey and to the communities that supported them along the way.

Join us in celebrating these faithful leaders!

What a special evening at Broadway in Brentwood: Ginna Claire Mason & Friends.

From the morning workshop to the final note of the concert, the day was filled with extraordinary talent, encouragement, worship, and joy. More than 300 people gathered at Brentwood United Methodist Church to celebrate and invest in the next generation of young leaders and artists.

We’re especially grateful for the many supporters, volunteers, performers, and friends who continue to make this ministry possible.

Thank you to Ginna Claire Mason, Allison Bailey, Laura Osnes, Christy Nockels, Joshua Carswell, and every student who shared their gifts so beautifully.

Hiring in ministry today is feeling noticeably different for many senior leaders.

Roles are staying open longer, strong candidates are more selective, and the hiring process is taking more time, more clarity, and more discernment than many leaders are used to.

But this shift isn’t just a staffing challenge. It’s revealing something deeper about the health of our systems, expectations, and leadership culture.

In our latest senior leader article, we explore three major shifts shaping today’s hiring landscape:

Why clarity matters more than speed in the hiring process
Why transparency is now essential for trust and team health
Why leadership development can no longer be an afterthought
And perhaps most importantly, what this moment is asking of churches as they seek to build sustainable, healthy teams for the long term.

Healthy hires don’t begin with urgency. They begin with clarity.
