Share your gifts and talents

The Florida Annual Conference is continually seeking persons who are willing to share their spiritual gifts and secular skills with the various Conference ministry teams, agencies and task forces. If you have a particular area of ministry in which you are called to serve, a spiritual gift, or an area of expertise which you are open to sharing in this way, please make that known by completing the application form below. A list of the various conference agencies is provided for your information. Even if you do not see an agency listed that appears to "match up" with your gifts, skills or area/s of interest, please send the form in anyway, making yourself known to us. For more information about a particular conference agency, you can call the Florida United Methodist Conference Center at 1-800-282-8011, Ext. 100. This will connect you with the receptionist and she will direct you to an appropriate contact person.
