The West Virginia Annual Conference is a Christ-led,
spiritual breath of fresh air that changes the world!
Disaster Response, Volunteers in Mission, Ministries of Mercy and Transformation, Health Care and Advocacy; our Baptism covenant binds us together and informs us so that we may live into the Great Commission of Jesus Christ;
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
