- Abstract
- In her role as Director of Connectional Ministries the author found that the Connectional Ministries Council had become disconnected. Many good and varied ministries were taking place, but none were connected with each other, and most were not based upon the vision of the annual conference. The author needed to find a way to network leaders, ministries and local churches. The bishop and extended cabinet determined that the Leadership3 Incubator process was to be implemented as a spiritual and leadership development tool. The author was invited to participate in an incubator with the bishop and his appointive cabinet. Part of that process was to create a ministry action plan appropriate for the author's work. She decided to develop a cohesive Connectional Ministries Council by leading an incubator group with the executive team, the connectional ministries conference staff, the conference lay leader, a district superintendent and the bishop's administrative assistant. This project paper rehearses the connecting lessons from the past, especially from the early days of John Wesley, and offers ways to adapt them for current times. She shares the process that the incubator went through, the lessons learned, and a model to teach other conference groups how to develop relationships and begin to network together in a time of deliberate growth and planning.
