Digital Resources
The UMC and Dakotas Conference encourage you to access these digital resources:
AMPLIFY Dakotas
Give your church access to thousands of study, worship, and devotional videos in digital formats: Study guides, leader guides, videos from the authors, and more. It is the only video-streaming library of Wesleyan resources, a wealth of United Methodist publishing materials made possible through direct cooperation between the Dakotas Conference and Amplify Media (Cokesbury's media division). Sign up your church today at no cost, and access it all, anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Great is Thy Faithfulness - Sermon series, worship resources, and small group study
We've created a sermon series and resources based on the four “Greats” - The Great Commandment (Mark 12:28–34), the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16–20), the Great Requirement (Micah 6:8), and the Great Proclamation (Luke 4:14–21). These discipleship tools are meant to help ground our Wesleyan discipleship and also equip pastors and congregations with additional tools for ministry. Recordings of sermons from Revs. Teresa Person, Bob Ruedebusch, Julie Gregg, and Kermit Culver are available for streaming through Amplify Dakotas* or for downloading through Vimeo. Additional worship and small group resources can be accessed on Amplify Dakotas or here (small group leader guide, worship resources, song suggestions, slide background graphic, PowerPoint pdf).
