Methodists on Mission

District Gathering – September 2026

Methodists on Mission

Saturday 1 September from 9:30am

Our District Gathering was on the theme of Methodist on Mission – exploring Discipleship and Scripture. 

The focus , following the feedback from previous gatherings, was aimed at exploring discipleship and scripture through a number of different lenses:

• Missional – What might God be inviting us to do?

• Pastoral – How does this connect with people's lived experience?

• Exegetical – What did this mean in its original context?

• Homiletical – How might we communicate this message today?

• Prayerful – What is God saying to me?

• Visual/Imaginative – What do we notice, imagine and wonder?

Our hope is that it demonstrated the richness of Scripture and encourage participants to appreciate the different ways we can read the Bible together.

Within the District Gathering we hold the life of Methodism across our district in prayer, renew our relationship with our wider Connexional church, and make any formal decisions required of us as a district – the work of the representative synod.
