We would love to hear about your interests and help you connect with other leaders in ministry here in the West Virginia Conference.

We have limited opportunities for those called to ordained ministry to stay at one of our State Parks or unique small towns. Each experience is customized to your interests and will connect you with others who will listen to your calling to full-time ministry and share opportunities for serving in the area.
