Conference-related ministries represent an array of extensions of the reign of God into local communities through nurture, witness, care and discipling. Some ministries began with deep roots in Franconia Conference constituencies, others have been grafted into the Conference ministry and witness over the years. The ministries represent in many ways the hands and feet of Christ into local communities, offering the love and peace of Christ in creative, sustaining and diverse ways. Conference-related ministries have a unique collaborative relationship with the Conference and represent a fruit of faithfulness in the church’s history and future.
