Exploration 2015 is for young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 who have sensed God might be calling them to ordained ministry, wondered what ministry in The United Methodist Church is all about, would like help sifting through issues involved in an ordained vocation, or want to learn more about United Methodist seminaries and theological schools.

The three-day conference seeks to respond faithfully and effectively to The United Methodist Church’s focus on increasing the number of young adult clergy in our denomination by creating sacred space to challenge the most gifted and promising young people of our denomination to hear God’s call to the ordained ministry.

Exploration creates sacred space for young adults to be in meaningful fellowship, passionate worship, theological reflection, and practical workshops as they discern whether God’s call on their life is to ordained ministry in The United Methodist Church and what faithful steps they can take in response.

Because the Dakotas Conference is committed to nurturing and developing the next generation of passionate clergy to make disciples of Jesus Christ, the Conference will assist with the costs for Dakotas United Methodist young adults who indicate that they’d like to attend. Please consider this opportunity and spread the word about it.
