About the Class:

  • About the Course: En la iglesia Metodista Unida creemos que el ministerio no es solo para pastores y pastoras, sino que el llamado al ministerio es para todos los creyentes. Es más, los servidores locales son los que están enfrente del ministerio, sirviendo a Dios en lo que sus iglesias necesitan. Por ende, esta clase tiene como propósito dar una pequeña introducción a lo que es el ministerio. Y así poder comprender nuestro llamado a servir a Dios en nuestra iglesia local con más eficacia.
    In the United Methodist Church, we believe that ministry is not only for pastors, but that the call to ministry is for all believers. In fact, local servants are the ones on the front lines of ministry, serving God according to the needs of their churches. Therefore, this class aims to provide a brief introduction to what ministry is, so that we may better understand our call to serve God in our local church with greater effectiveness.
