Apology from The United Methodist Church to Victims/Survivors of Sexual Misconduct: This apology
statement was read in its entirety during General Conference 2020/2024. All United Methodist bishops
around the world were expected to read the apology at their upcoming respective annual conferences.
Bishop Bard read this official statement to the conference body.
Introduction:
Sexual misconduct is a current and real problem within The United Methodist Church. Today, we
acknowledge there are people here who have been mistreated, abused, and assaulted by clergy and
lay leaders in the Church.
We honor those who have shared their stories and those who have sat with their stories in silence.
We commend the courage of all survivors of sexual misconduct to walk a path they did not choose.
Too often those who suffer from sexual misconduct are silenced, ignored, or not believed by the
Church.
Sexual misconduct includes psychological, emotional, and spiritual abuse. This apology is a
beginning point for confession and hope in prevention and response to sexual misconduct in The
United Methodist Church.
42
MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
2025
Apology:
The United Methodist Church apologizes for the times we allowed our desire to protect the Church to
outweigh our desire to care for victims and survivors of sexual misconduct. We have allowed polity
and protection of the institutional Church to prevent us from holding persons accountable, thus
perpetuating harm within our local churches and other ministry settings, and damaging the whole
United Methodist connection.
We apologize for the times we have not listened to you, doubted your stories, ignored your wounds,
and have not tended to your pain. We believe this has contributed to allowing an unsafe culture to
exist.
An apology is worthless without a commitment to the challenging work which must follow. The United
Methodist Church pledges to:
1 Apologize in every annual conference across the connection.
2 Educate Church leaders regarding sacred trust in ministerial relationships and power
imbalance within those relationships.
3 Provide healing resources to all affected in accordance with ¶ 362. Complaint Procedures.
4 Develop a trauma-informed response to complaints of sexual misconduct.
This apology alone is insufficient for healing. The United Methodist Church accepts our responsibility
and publicly states our commitment to carry out the steps named to do no more harm. May God’s
blessing and never-ending love guide our work and see it through.
A 30-minute break was called at 2:55 p.m. by Bishop Bard.
The business session reconvened at 3:25 p.m.

R#2025-2 - “Establish Housing/Rental Allowance for Retired Clergy/Clergy on Disability”
Joel Walther spoke to the resolution.
Motion: The Michigan Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits moves to establish the
Housing/Rental Allowance for retired or clergy on medical leave status (receiving disability
benefits) in the Michigan Conference as follows:
1. An amount equal to 100% of the retirement and disability plan distributions received during
the year 2026 is hereby designated as a rental/housing allowance for each retired and
disabled ordained, commissioned, or licensed clergyperson of The United Methodist
Church who is or was a member of the Michigan Conference at the time of his or her
retirement or disability.
2. This rental/housing allowance shall apply to each retired and disabled ordained,
commissioned, or licensed clergyperson who has been granted the retired relationship or
placed on medical leave by the Michigan Conference and whose name and relationship to
the conference is recorded in the Journal of the Michigan Conference or in other
appropriate records maintained by the conference.
3. The retirement and disability plan distributions to which this rental/housing allowance
applies shall be the retirement and disability plan distributions resulting from all service of
such retired and disabled ordained, commissioned, or licensed clergypersons from all
employment by any local church, annual conference or institution of The United Methodist
Church, or from any other employer who employed the clergyperson to perform services
related to the ministry and who elected to sponsor the retirement plan and/or welfare plans
of The United Methodist Church for such retired clergyperson’s retirement or disability
benefits. Retirement distributions include all eligible amounts received from the United
Methodist denominational retirement plan administered by Wespath Benefits &
Investments.
4. The amount of the housing/rental allowance that may be excluded is limited to the lesser
of: a) The amount designated as the housing/rental allowance, or b) The amount actually
expended for housing/rent, or c) The fair rental value of housing as required by law.
R#2025-2 adopted.
R#2025-11 - “2026 Equitable Compensation Schedule”
Mona Joslyn spoke to the resolution.
Motion: The Commission on Equitable Compensation (CEC) moves the following Minimum Salary
Schedule (see p. 63 for the full schedule) to be adopted by the 2025 Michigan Annual
Conference. In addition, the CEC asks churches to budget a minimum of $1,500 for professional
expenses and continuing education, exclusive of mileage reimbursements for each full-time
clergy person under appointment. For clergy serving less than full-time, the amount set should
equal no less than the appointment percentage (i.e., a half-time appointment’s minimum would be
at least $750, etc.) Churches are strongly urged to compensate clergy whose years of service are
beyond this chart’s years by considering both years of service as clergy and inflation forces.
While electing not to provide clergy with a raise might alleviate pressure on the church budget, it
places unfair stress on clergy and is demoralizing. For years after 10 it is recommended to add
2% of the year 10 amount for each year the clergy person has served beyond the 10th year.
Counting years of service to determine minimum compensation:
Pastors serving under appointment, whether in full or part-time capacity, will have years of service
counted equally for the purpose of progressing through the salary levels.
A part-time appointment is not considered to be less than a full-time appointment in the
calculation of total years of service. Pastors serving more than six months under appointment in a
calendar year will be credited with a full year’s service for the purpose of progressing through the
salary levels. Pastors serving six months or less under appointment in a calendar year will remain
at their current year of service. When an additional full year of service is completed, pastors will
move to the next salary level. For calculating years of service as a clergy person changes status
(i.e., from Local Pastor to Associate Member or from Provisional Member to Full Member) the
entire number of years under appointment is considered. Years of service do not start over when
a clergy person’s status changes, it remains continuous. (For example: a seminary graduate
44
MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
2025
serves as a local pastor for two years, is commissioned as a Provisional Elder and serves in that
capacity for three years, then is Ordained. In determining years of service, the entire number of

“Artificial Intelligence technologies”) can lead to acts of plagiarism and violation of professional
ethics. We resolve to use generative artificial intelligence ethically and commit to critical digital
literacy, including questions concerning the sources of generative artificial intelligence, its

Pittenger, Lisa Batten, and Naomi Garcia, reported on what they’ve heard in their conversations with
people throughout the conference as they considered how to create communities of belonging. They

various cohorts which get together to support leaders in ministry. Over the past year, they offered eight
different cohorts, each of which helped participants feel much more connected and strengthened in
ministry leadership. They shared personal testimonies about the effectiveness of these cohorts.
● Urban Methodist Youth Camp - Audrey Mangum talked about the impact of Urban Youth Camp and
showed a brief video.

savings to pay for human security.
We urge Pentagon spending be reduced by at least $100,000,000,000 to support healthcare,
education, housing, and climate change mitigation. Wages and health benefits of members of
the military would not be reduced.

We ask our congregations to act on this resolution as soon as possible because Senator
Roger Wicker (R-MS), Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is calling for a $120

MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
2025
BOARD OF TRUSTEES REPORT
The conference Board of Trustees (“BoT”) is the fiduciary for the Conference. The Board enjoys the blessing of
active participation of six clergy and six laity trustees, plus a voting clergy liaison from the Cabinet. Several
conference committees and conference staff serve on the committee with voice but no vote. We currently divide
our responsibilities between these focus areas: Conference Properties, Closing Churches, Sale of Closed
Properties, Risk Management and Legal Issues.
Meeting quarterly, we gather in person and/or virtually making participation more complete and inclusive. As our
focus areas indicate, the responsibilities and issues are significant, including such matters as conference assets,
financial stress on congregations, and difficult decisions to bring a church’s ministry to a close.
WORK REVIEW:
Conference Properties
Properties owned and utilized by the Conference (offices and parsonages) are managed and maintained by the
Board of Trustees. The major effort for 2024 was the consolidation of the Conference Offices at 212 Clark Corners
into the Office Building on Northcrest Road in Lansing. This move required some modifications to the Conference
Office Building and a great deal of flexibility on the part of conference staff. The consolidation is complete, and
Suite 212 is no longer leased by the conference.
Parsonages saw some investment in maintenance and necessary upgrades during 2024. A review of the needs of
each property is informing the development of an investment strategy to address heavy maintenance and capital
improvement needs at the properties. First on the list is an investment in flooring, paint, and other small
improvements at the Northern Skies Parsonage to be timed with the change in District Superintendent.
Closed Churches
During the 2024 reporting period, eight congregations made the difficult decisions to cease their ministry and
close their church. Most often the reason for the decision was related to financial and leadership issues related to
declining membership. These congregation celebrated their final worship service in 2024 and their buildings were
deconsecrated. Historical records, membership lists, and church assets were addressed according to existing
guidelines. Listed below are the closed churches that will be celebrated at the 2025 Annual Conference.
● Ashton
● Belding
● Central Lakeport
● Forrester
● Owosso: Trinity
● Shelby
● Turk lake
● Williamston Crossroads
Additionally, during 2024 fourteen churches that were no longer functioning as United Methodist Houses of
Worship closed and left the Conference under the provisions of Chapter 2549. These churches are listed below:
● Arden
● Barnard
● Boyne City: Compass Community
● Caledonia
● East Jordan
● Edwardsburg: Hope
● Hinchman
● Horton Bay
● Kalkaska
● Ludington: St. Paul
● Mayville
● Merritt-Butterfield
● Moorestown-Stittsville
● Townline

Church Sales
The Board of Trustees has been actively marketing the closed churches and associated parsonages from
previous years and those from the current year. Churches are a specialty property and often times take significant
time to find a buyer. When churches properties are sold, they proceeds are distributed according to existing
guidelines. The following churches and parsonages have been sold or have sales pending as of this writing:
● Ashton (sale pending)
● Belding Parsonage
● Forrester
● Murano Drive Benefits Officer Parsonage
● Owosso: Trinity
● Rodney
● Saginaw Ames (sale pending)
● Silverwood
● Turk Lake Parsonage
● Ubly
The following properties are currently in our closed church inventory and are either listed for sale or being
evaluated for other use:
● Belding
● Central Lakeport
● Saginaw Ames Parsonage
● Shelby
● Turk Lake
● Williamston Crossroads
Risk Management and Legal Issues
The Board of Trustees conducted the annual “Risk Management” review with Church Mutual Insurance in a full
board meeting. There were once again no material claim-issues raised and the relationship continues to be solid.
Local churches may have different insurance providers, but the availability and cost of insurance coverage will
continue to be a major point of focus and financial stress in the coming years. One item is particularly clear,
regular communication with your insurance provider is critical. At the very least, churches should annually explore
how adjustments to deductibles and claims avoidance strategies can be used to ensure continued coverage.
No significant new litigation was present during 2024. The Boy Scouts of American settlement is still in process of
finalization but we do not expect any significant issues with that will require additional action on the part of the
Conference.

2025 DEAN’S REPORT
Scott Harmon and Luann Rourke
Hello, my name is Scott Harmon, Superintendent of the Northern Skies District. For the last year I have served as
Dean of the Cabinet. Thank you for taking time to view this year’s Dean’s Report.
Few may be aware, but whenever the Appointive Cabinet meets we begin our time with a devotion prepared in
rotation by each of the Superintendents. Recently LuAnn Rourke, District Superintendent of the Heritage District,
shared an experience she had that reflected brilliantly where we so often find ourselves today. For the Dean’s
Report this year, I asked if she would share again her story, that a wider audience might hear a good word as we
continue our journeys in ministry. LuAnn…..
LuAnn: Thank you, Scott.
1 Kings 3:9 The Message translation reads:
9
“Here’s what I want: Give me a God-listening heart so I can lead your people well, discerning the
difference between good and evil. For who on their own is capable of leading your glorious people?”
Recently, I shared a reflection on my experience at the Fresh Expressions United Methodist National Gathering in
Atlanta Georgia. Over the course of the three-day event many people in my demographic, white boomer type
folks, became uncomfortable with the structure of our time together, and the focus of presentations from the
platform.
I heard complaints like:
There is no schedule printed up – no description of the small groups – no list of where they are meeting.
They keep adding new groups, what’s up with that?
Why are there no words on the screen when we sing?
All the information is accessible by using these QR codes. Is it so hard to just print something out?
And we’re supposed to use this Discord app for updates and communication, but I don’t want another app on
my phone.
Why is lunch not at the same time every day? Why do we start at different times every morning?
What is this “flow for the day?” Why can’t we have a set schedule and keep to it?
I admit, I said some of these things too. But the Spirit of the Lord began to reveal the roots of my discomfort, and
I began to work to shift my perspective.
The people in charge of this gathering were not white boomers. The people in charge were Millennials and Gen
Z. The worship band was an R and B group. The speakers were Asian – Caucasian – Indigenous – Hispanic –
Black – Brown – Strait – Queer and this beloved community heard the complaining voices and responded by sort
of patting us on the head and saying, “OK Boomer.”
Friends – these are the people the established church says it wants to reach, but this future church is now. They
are not waiting for us to do something that will reach them. They love Jesus and care about justice, but they do
not need a scheduled Sunday morning gathering to live out their faith.
They recognize their calling, and it may not require an appointment from the bishop or a degree from an institution
of higher learning, or the approval of the board of ordained ministry.
John Wesley recognized that the church was not meeting the spiritual needs of the people. The Methodists were
meant to be a revitalizing movement, not a Sunday morning moment. Wesley’s movement began on the margins
and was experienced as an interruption of the power centers in the established church. This new way of being
church seems to re-capture the heart of Wesley’s method.

MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE
2025
Over the three days I spent among the Fresh Expressions practitioners I often found myself uncomfortable. The
reality of the experience of marginalized people is overwhelming. Their stories are hard to hear. It is the deep
water I don’t want to go fish in.
As these voices were given a microphone and brought to the center, and the majority cultural force was pressed
toward the margins, some people left early.
They told me, “If I knew this was what this was about, I would not have come.” I’m not judging anyone. I’m just
recognizing it. I had to work hard at practicing intentional positivity. I had to stay focused on my commitment to
be aware of my reactions and responses in my current social and spiritual location.
I kept thinking about how Jesus made people uncomfortable by inviting the voices of the silent ones on the
margins to step into the center and be heard.
The woman who was bleeding out, who crawled in the dust to get near enough to touch the hem of his robe until
Jesus lifted her to her feet at the center of the crowd and identified her as daughter.
The man with the withered hand who kept it hidden until Jesus invited it to be displayed boldly only to find it
healed.
The one tormented by demons who lived among death, who, when set free from what held him captive, asked to
be allowed to stay with Jesus – but Jesus said you stay here, restored to a place in community as my witness.
The sinful woman, unwelcome among polite company, who washed Jesus’ feet and poured out precious oil to
anoint him, was elevated as an example of true hospitality and love.
There was Zaccheaus, called out by Jesus from his treetop hiding spot and the widow who dropped her meager
coins in the treasury being described as the most generous of all.
We lament that the church may be dying. But it’s not. Old things are passing away and God is doing a new thing
– can you not perceive it? There is a generation coming, in fact they are now here, who will lead the church by
faith to continue to be the church, in whatever form it takes.
Fresh Expressions practitioner Jill Beck said - When God presents us with a new thing, we often ask what is it,
just like when Manna fell from heaven in the wilderness. If you refuse it, you will starve. If you hoard it and try to
control it, it will get moldy and full of maggots. Is that the kind of bread we want to feed our children? Is that the
legacy we want to leave for our grandchildren?
“Here’s what I want: Give me a God-listening heart so I can lead your people well, discerning the
difference between good and evil. For who on their own is capable of leading your glorious people?”

CO-LAY LEADERS’ 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
During this past year, laypersons continued to share their faith stories, serve actively in mission, invite others into
a community of faith, get curious about the needs in their community, learn how they might serve in new ways,
pray for God’s guidance, and move forward passionately in ministry.
In 2024 the Board of Laity once again offered Resource and Training Grants to laypersons in our conference.
These laypersons have gotten curious, responded positively to a seed for a new ministry idea that God has
planted in their hearts, and have moved forward, fearlessly trusting God, to share their faith and care for God’s
people and God’s creation. There were seven grant recipients who were obviously excited about serving God
and their congregations by conducting training, learning coaching techniques, doing book studies, sharing ABAR
resources and education, and attending seminars.
This year’s theme for the 2025 Michigan Annual Conference, “Unfinished – Growing Up and Into Christ,” depicts a
site under construction with a hard hat and blue prints, and it cites Ephesians 4:15-16 (NRSV) which states “But
speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the
whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly,
promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.” It reminds us of an article written by Dan Reiland entitled
“Seven Essential Requirements For All Good Leaders,” which provides guidance to leaders, especially those who
are laity, on how to develop 1) a growing sense of self-awareness, 2) an eagerness to practice leadership, 3) a
healthy desire to learn from mistakes, 4) a true willingness to take risks, 5) a genuine care and concern for
people, 6) a consistent pattern of healthy habits, and 7) a deep trust in and dependence upon God.
We have received reports and other evidence of laity “Growing Up and Into Christ” from the increased number of
lay servant ministry courses being offered throughout the Conference, the increased number of laity requesting
grants to enhance their ministries, laity attending and participating in Advocacy Day and the Martin Luther King,
Jr. 30th Anniversary; along with reports of laity leading Bible studies, participating in prayer teams, serving as lay
liturgists, and providing pulpit fill.
You are invited to attend or livestream this year’s Laity Perspective Event on the opening day of annual conference, Friday, May 30th at 5:00 p.m. During that time, we will be blessed to hear from featured speakers who include Reverend Jeremy Peters from the Court Street United Methodist Church and two of his lay members
concerning God’s work happening at their church. Our hope is that this time together will equip, enable, empower, and invite lay persons in ministry in our Michigan Conference. Please plan to join us!
It was evident from attending the four Listening Sessions conducted by Bishop Bard that laity are actively engaged in becoming disciples through their involvement in their churches and communities by leading and participating in outreach programs, children’s ministries, district youth nights, and a number of other activities that help
them grow in their spiritual journeys.
In closing, we will continue to move forward as we work collectively to engage more laity as we seek to “Make
Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World,” through our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our
service, and our witness.

2025 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
R #1 – Establish the 2026 Past Service Rate
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
Establish the Michigan Conference 2026 Past Service Rate (PSR) for the Ministers’ Reserve Pension Fund (Pre82) at $960. The surviving spouse benefit rate shall remain at 85 percent.
R #2 – Establish Housing/Rental Allowance for Retired Clergy/Clergy on Disability
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
The Michigan Conference Board of Pension and Health Benefits moves to:
Establish the Housing/Rental Allowance for retired or clergy on medical leave status (receiving disability benefits)
in the Michigan Conference as follows:
1
An amount equal to 100% of the retirement and disability plan distributions received during the year 2026
is hereby designated as a rental/housing allowance for each retired and disabled ordained, commissioned, or licensed clergyperson of The United Methodist Church who is or was a member of the Michigan Conference at the time of his or her retirement or disability.
2
This rental/housing allowance shall apply to each retired and disabled ordained, commissioned, or licensed clergyperson who has been granted the retired relationship or placed on medical leave by the
Michigan Conference and whose name and relationship to the conference is recorded in the Journal of
the Michigan Conference or in other appropriate records maintained by the conference.
3
The retirement and disability plan distributions to which this rental/housing allowance applies shall be the
retirement and disability plan distributions resulting from all service of such retired and disabled ordained,
commissioned, or licensed clergypersons from all employment by any local church, annual conference or
institution of The United Methodist Church, or from any other employer who employed the clergyperson to
perform services related to the ministry and who elected to sponsor the retirement plan and/or welfare
plans of The United Methodist Church for such retired clergyperson’s retirement or disability benefits. Retirement distributions include all eligible amounts received from the United Methodist denominational retirement plan administered by Wespath Benefits & Investments.
4
The amount of the housing/rental allowance that may be excluded is limited to the lesser of: a) The
amount designated as the housing/rental allowance, or b) The amount actually expended for
housing/rent, or c) The fair rental value of housing as required by law.
R #4 – Re-Prioritize Federal Spending from the Military to Human Security
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
We call for a “swords into plowshares” re-prioritizing of the spending of federal taxpayers’ money in the Federal
Discretionary Budget.
We encourage Michigan United Methodists to advocate for the National Defense Budget (FY 2025 Estimate:
$926,763,000,000 “Green Book” DOD) to be reduced in order for the savings to pay for human security.
We urge Pentagon spending be reduced by at least $100,000,000,000 to support healthcare, education, housing,
and climate change mitigation. Wages and health benefits of members of the military would not be reduced.
We urge Michigan United Methodist individuals, groups, and congregations to work with organizations such as
Peace Action of Michigan (peaceactionmich.org), Michigan Move the Money Coalition (movethemoneymi.org),
Michigan Peace Alliance (MIPeaceAlliance.org), and the National Priorities Project (nationalpriorities.org).
2025
RESOLUTIONS
61
We ask our congregations to act on this resolution as soon as possible because Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS),
Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is calling for a $120 billion hike in defense spending over the
next two years. This is on top of a rise of some $160 billion over the four years of the Biden Administration.
R #5 – Haiti Gardens of Hope
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
In the spirit of our annual conference’s renewed commitment to the people of Haiti and the encouragement of our
EngageMI initiative to engage in ministry “with,” the Michigan Haiti Task Force invites the congregations of the
Michigan Annual Conference to initiate a conference-wide campaign for Haiti entitled Gardens of Hope. The campaign would run from June 1, 2025, through June 7, 2026. The aim would be to raise $215,000—roughly $350 per
congregation, or roughly $7.50 per church attendee. Half of the funding will support the life-giving healthcare,
housing, and education initiatives of our three EngageMI partners—Grace Children’s Hospital (Port-au-Prince),
Haitian Assets for Peace International (Mizak), and Jeremie Rising (Jeremie). The remaining half will fund the
work of a new ministry partner within the communities listed above—Fondation Voix des Communautes de Base
(Grassroots Community Voices Foundation). This is a Haitian run, grassroots initiative that promotes sustainability
through community-based microfinance and savings programs.
R #7 – Call for Peace in the Middle East
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
We the Michigan Conference of The United Methodist Church, in order to remain steadfast in our witness and advocacy for peace, call on the Trump administration to immediately pursue and facilitate the cessation of Israeli military action in Gaza, the full restoration of food, medical, and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, the
cessation of Israeli settlement and military action in the West Bank, and a return of all hostages and detainees.
We do further call for, and we’ll advocate for, the recognition of a Palestinian state as a contribution to a two-state,
or any solution, that guarantees freedom from military occupation, justice for Palestinian refugees, and equality for
all in Palestine/Israel.
First, we call upon Michigan United Methodists to communicate the above message to the U.S. President and
Michigan’s members of congress. Second, we authorize the Conference secretary to send the message to the
U.S. President, U.S. Secretary of State, and Michigan’s two senators. Third, we authorize the Conference secretary to send the message to the President of the Council of Bishops.
R #8 – Mandatory Protection Policy and Ethics Training for Clergy
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
Starting in 2026, all appointed clergy, clergy serving in retirement, and laypersons assigned as a District Superintendent Assignment (DSA) must complete the conference-approved protection policy training and ethics training
within their first year of ministry in Michigan. Thereafter, they must complete these trainings every three years according to the schedule established by the conference.
R #9 – Chevron Boycott
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
The Michigan Conference of The United Methodist Church supports the Chevron Boycott that has been proposed
and adopted by United Methodists for Kairos Response (UMKR) and the Methodist Federation for Social Action
(MFSA). We urge church members, organizations and congregations to sign onto the global boycott on the UMKR
website (https://umkr.salsalabs.org/chevron-stopfuelinggenocide/index.html ).
Palestinians deserve full human rights. Despite the ceasefire in Gaza, the destruction of Palestinian homes, businesses, water reservoirs, and olive trees continues in the West Bank and elsewhere. Chevron’s alliance with the
Israeli government helps support this destruction. The boycott is designed to break that alliance by applying financial disincentives and negative publicity for Chevron. If Chevron pulls out of its alliance with Israel, the Israeli gov-

2025
ernment may be pressured into conforming with international law in protecting the human rights of Palestinians.
R #10 – Holy Land Excursion Boycott
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
As the Michigan Conference of The United Methodist Church, we reaffirm our commitment made last year in Resolution #6 that, “Until lasting efforts toward peace are made, the Michigan Conference of The United Methodist
Church will not advertise, encourage, or support Holy Land excursions.” In addition, we affirm that conference
leadership shall only lead Holy Land tours that align with our expressed values listed in Resolution #5206 from
our Book of Resolutions. These tours will seek to maximize time spent in the West Bank, which should include
staying in Palestinian hotels, avoiding Tel Aviv International Airport, incorporating time with Palestinians, visiting
ministries focused on peace and justice. We commit to our Holy Land Tours being more than just religious tourism, empowering our clergy and laity alike to advocate for peace in the region, greater awareness of the conflict,
and justice and dignity for the Palestinian people. Furthermore, if Gaza is annexed by Israel and its people removed, we will cease all future Holy Land tours to Israel. Additionally, if the region is unsafe for travel, we commit
to suspending Holy Land trips until it is safe to travel.
R #11 - 2025 Equitable Compensation Schedule
It was resolved by the Michigan Conference:
The Commission on Equitable Compensation (CEC) moves the following Minimum Salary Schedule to be
adopted by the 2025 Michigan Annual Conference. In addition, the CEC asks churches to budget a minimum of
$1,500 for professional expenses and continuing education, exclusive of mileage reimbursements for each fulltime clergy person under appointment. For clergy serving less than full-time, the amount set should equal no less
than the appointment percentage (i.e., a half-time appointment’s minimum would be at least $750, etc.) Churches
are strongly urged to compensate clergy whose years of service are beyond this chart’s years by considering both
years of service as clergy and inflation forces. While electing not to provide clergy with a raise might alleviate
pressure on the church budget, it places unfair stress on clergy and is demoralizing. For years after 10 it is recommended to add 2% of the year 10 amount for each year the clergy person has served beyond the 10th year.
Counting years of service to determine minimum compensation:
Pastors serving under appointment, whether in full or part-time capacity, will have years of service counted
equally for the purpose of progressing through the salary levels.
A part-time appointment is not considered to be less than a full-time appointment in the calculation of total years
of service. Pastors serving more than six months under appointment in a calendar year will be credited with a full
year’s service for the purpose of progressing through the salary levels. Pastors serving six months or less under
appointment in a calendar year will remain at their current year of service. When an additional full year of service
is completed, pastors will move to the next salary level. For calculating years of service as a clergy person
changes status (i.e., from Local Pastor to Associate Member or from Provisional Member to Full Member) the entire number of years under appointment is considered. Years of service do not start over when a clergy person’s
status changes, it remains continuous. (For example: a seminary graduate serves as a local pastor for two years,
is commissioned as a Provisional Elder and serves in that capacity for three years, then is Ordained. In determining years of service, the entire number of years is considered. In this example the clergy person would have a
total of five years of service for determining minimum salary).
