North Georgia United Methodist Annual Conference
June 18-20, 2026
ANNUAL CONFERENCE SPECIAL OFFERING: Center for Clergy Excellence’s International Fund
The church has always moved across borders: carrying hope, building relationships, and answering the call wherever God leads. This year’s Annual Conference Special Offering will support the Center of Clergy Excellence’s International Fund. This fund will help pastors navigate the practical steps required to serve across cultural and national boundaries. Your generosity today is more than a financial gift. It is a statement of faith that the church moves together, and when one part of the body is ready to serve, the whole body leans in to help. Let’s open doors together.
