2025 Missouri Preaching Academy

May 6-7

As pastors, there are times when we step into the pulpit, and the Good News is just flowing through us. Yet, there are other times when we may not feel that Good News for ourselves, but we need to proclaim it. These contrasting feelings are our focus this year at Preaching Academy. Join us this May as we will hear from pastors who have faced situations when they have felt broken-hearted, anxious or burned-out and even joyful when others in their ministry context are not. We will learn from their experiences and engage in small group work to help process times when you have had to do the same.

 Do Your Church PCs Need An Upgrade? 

Windows 10 support ends Oct. 2025 which means no more updates or security fixes for computers running that operating system.

If your church needs help determining if your computer can upgrade to Windows 11, GCFA has provided resources through UMC Technology Support to help you stay secure and up-to-date.

UMC Support can check your upgrade eligibility to determine if you can upgrade or if you need a new PC. If your PC is not eligible to upgrade, they offer deep discounts to help you save money.
