2024 Ministry Conference BrochureDownload

As a leadership team for EFC-MAYM, we are excited to see how God is going to move during Ministry Conference throughout the weekend at Barclay College! Our theme this year is the same as last year with a different emphasis: “Encountering Jesus—Engaging the World.” This year we’ve asked Alan Amavisca to come help us learn how to make disciples, evangelize, and engage the world with the love of Christ. The Ministry Conference theme verse inspires us to seek God for solutions to any spiritual or physical roadblocks encountered as we seek to both encounter Jesus and fulfill the Great Commission by embracing and loving people in the world:

“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22: 37-40

Our General Sessions will be a time of worship and equipping and teaching from Alan. On Saturday evening, join us for a special retirement celebration for Janet Penna and Randy Littlefield.

Come join us as we encounter Jesus and prepare to embrace people in the world with his love!


Main Speakers

Alan Amavisca

Mission Director of North County Project

“I love doing ministry across barriers, whether generational, economic or cultural/linguistic; I believe that Jesus has given us a ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:20).”

Thayne Thompson

Lead Superintendent

“Encountering Jesus always leads us into mission with Him. Because of our rich heritage as followers of Jesus and as Friends we must focus clearly on our call to engage the world.”

Tony Wheeler

Superintendent of Pastoral and
Church Health

“We’re excited to encounter Jesus as we worship together and explore through Alan’s teaching and the teaching of others about how to engage our world with the hope and healing Jesus offers.”
