Meeting Overview

Our 2025 Annual Meeting theme, A Call to Wonder, offers the chance to envision a better future for the people you serve. It invites us to experience a powerful emotion that ignites our creativity and curiosity. Wonder not only inspires innovations and deep reflection, but it also elicits reverence and awe for the beauty around us and the compassionate humanity that unites us. Join us for quality education and great peer networking in Memphis where we will open our hearts and celebrate God’s gift of wonder.

Bring Your Teams

This three-day event is designed to create an education and networking experience for nonprofit senior leadership teams, trustees, spiritual care providers, development officers, business partners and other leaders serving health and welfare ministries. Attendees gather with a shared commitment to the quality of care provided by faith-based ministries serving seniors, children, youth and families and persons with emotional, intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Invitation

Dear Friends,

On behalf of Methodist Ministries Network, we are excited to invite you to our 2025 Annual Meeting, which will take place May 6 - 8 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Our Annual Meeting Planning Committee and staff have designed an engaging learning experience that offers something for everyone. Filled with innovations and best practices, our three-day conference includes exceptional keynote speakers, education sessions and networking events.

We hope our theme, A Call to Wonder, will inspire you and your leadership teams to explore brave, bold ideas for your organizations. We are thrilled to welcome author and entrepreneur Jonathan Fanning as our opening keynote speaker on Tuesday morning to share strategies to tap your creativity. Next, we will hear from international entertainer Mike Rayburn who will ignite a new innovative mindset. Regina Crider, senior policy analyst, advocate and pastor, will close out our meeting with a deeply personal drive to advocate. She is sure to inspire us all to be the voice of the people you serve.

Throughout the event, we’ve set aside time for members to network with peers including C-suite executives, trustees, fund development officers, human resource professionals, chaplains, and others to share challenges and best practices. We will also take time to celebrate organizations maintaining excellence through the EAGLE Accreditation Program.

Come join us in Memphis for learning, inspiration and camaraderie. Plan to be a part of the Methodist Ministries Network’s Annual Meeting this spring. We look forward to seeing you!

All the best,
