EQUIPPING GOD'S PEOPLE (EGP) CLASS AT MANSFIELD FIRST

Take the next step in ministry. The Equipping God's People class is being taught at Mansfield First United Methodist Church so that we can learn, pray and consider how God may use us at this incredibly important time in history. Beginning in March, all 8 sessions will be taught on Saturday mornings.  Growing Effective Churches is a focus for our Susquehanna Conference.  It is through this emphasis that the class is made available to us. The purpose of the class is to give members the experience, purpose and tools for continuing to make UM congregations VITAL for our mission with God to love the world.
