The real story of the church is in transformed lives and ministries. Every year a highlight of the District Assembly has been to hear the oral report of the pastor which shares these stories. Since we are not gathering for an assembly this year, we still are asking of every pastor to prepare a 160-word written report (due to the DRC by April 13, 2020, see online form!) which will be shared with General Superintendent, Dr. Carla Sunberg. A PDF copy of these reports will be collated and available for those who wish to read them. The report is to be a missional story that focuses on either: (a) a person who has been converted during the last 12 months by accepting Christ as Savior (transformed to new life in Christ); or (b) tell about a new congregation started through your ministry, or (3) a creative way in which the church adapted to the mission of the Church during the pandemic. NEW: Please complete online Ministry (Handbook) Highlight - Every pastor of every congregation is asked to provide a different 80-120 word written "Handbook Highlight" (topic is at the discretion of the pastor and is also due to the DRC by April 13) which will be included in the delegate handbook under the heading of each church. You are free to highlight any area of Church ministry you prefer in the Handbook Highlight.

The mission of SDMI (Sunday School & Discipleship Ministries International) is to carry out the Great Commission to children, youth, and adults in preparation for a lifetime of being and making disciples in the nations. The "Journey of Grace" is a framework for discipleship. This journey includes Prevenient Grace, Saving Grace, and Sanctifying Grace. In the local church, making disciples is: Joining people on "the way" to Jesus (Evangelism) Training people to embrace "The Truth" (New Christians) Modeling the surrendered "Life" in Christ (Mature Disciples) As you facilitate and encourage your congregation on this "Journey of Grace", the goal of the VA District SDMI Team is to build and expand bridges (enablers) to assist you in this process. Please fill out this short survey to help us accomplish our goal of building bridges. Please answer from the perspective of your current local church.
