Focus on Jesus, the local church

March 31, 2022
FROM THE BISHOP
DAVID GRAVES


My passion is sharing Jesus, seeing the overlooked, joining God in transforming lives, and changing the world one person at a time.

That’s what I want the South Georgia Conference to focus on, too.

I realize, however, that The United Methodist Church is in a season of life where questions are being raised and uncertainty and anxiousness are apparent throughout the system.

In a spirit of transparency and forthrightness, I recently had a conversation with Kelly Roberson, Director of Conference Ministries/Communications, about General Conference, denominational matters, and disaffiliations. In this video I answer a few frequently asked questions, clear up some confusion, and remind us that we are, indeed, better together.

I hope you find our conversation helpful and informative. 

I can’t stress this enough: Let’s focus our commitment on strengthening every local church, where the word is preached and Christ is offered, and where the table is set before all who hunger and thirst for righteousness, confident in the prayer we have learned to say and share, “By your Spirit make us one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory and we feast at his heavenly banquet.”
