Discipleship Ministries

The mission of the United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Discipleship Ministries at the Western PA Annual Conference strives to work with local church leaders to provide an intentional guide that leads an individual from exploring Jesus to being centered in Christ. We work to view discipleship not as a single program, such as a Bible study, but rather holistically. Discipleship involves community, teaching, proclamation and service.
