Subject: Unification Plan for the Central, North and Northwest Texas Conferences

Unification Plan Published for the Central, North and Northwest Texas Conferences

Following months of work and more than a year of cross-conference conversations, today the Unification Implementation Team has released the Unification Plan for the Central, North and Northwest Texas Conferences.

Among other items, the extensive plan includes:

  • Our rationale for unification

  • A new name for our new conference

  • An aligned teams, boards and committees structure

  • A coordinated approach to calculate apportionments

  • An organizational plan to align with our strategic priorities

  • Guidance for selecting/maintaining office space

  • Legislative language to move our unification efforts forward

Nearly 150 clergy and laypeople, representing the Central, North and Northwest Texas conferences, have worked diligently to develop, refine and vet this plan, laying a path forward for our unification work. Countless more have contributed in the forms of surveys and feedback groups. Our conferences thank you for the work that has gone into bringing us to this point.

At our Annual Conference gatherings in May and June, all three conferences will vote on the Unification Plan, so please take time now to read and review it. An overwhelming affirmative response from each annual conference will ensure we are able to enter the Jurisdictional Conference in July equipped and ready to embrace unification!
