Additional ResourcesLearn and Lead: Parachute Church Planting with Nathan Paulus Nathan Paulus knew from the age of 18 that he wanted to start a church. From his early roots of starting churches in Kenya with his Dad to a parachute drop in Wichita, Kansas, and the launch of another church in Ohio, Nathan shares what he has learned along the way and the strategy and model he uses to plant churches. Discipleship Ministries: Gathered Up in Jesus The season of Lent is essential for those who truly seek to be disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Because a part of what we learn in this time of self-examination is that we are what might be most in need of transformation. We might find that what might need to grow in faith and discipleship is the church and that the transformation of the world begins with building bridges and gathering up rather than with condemnation. We hope you’ll join in with churches around the world as we seek to be gathered up in Jesus. Caring for your mental health is vitally important to your ministry. The Missouri Conference of the United Methodist Church has resources to help you in your journey, from knowing how to take the next step, to using your mental health benefits to video stories of other clergy members who have walked similar paths.
