Dakotas - Minnesota Episcopal Area of The United Methodist Church 122 W. Franklin Ave. Suite 200 Minneapolis, MN 55404 612-870-4007

Sheilah Kyburz Administrative Assistant sheilah.kyburz@dkmnareaumc.org

Bruce R. Ough Presiding Bishop bishop@dkmnareaumc.org

We continue our shared journey toward God’s vision for us, a conference in which each of the 250 congregations is bearing kingdom fruit reflective of Jesus’ missional imperatives to: love God and neighbor, reach new people, and heal a broken world. Congregations that are giving full-blown expression of these core missional imperatives are fulfilling our Wesleyan movement’s mission of “making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. ” They experience the “signs and wonders” of God’s Spirit breaking through and raising people to new life in Christ. They have holy imagination; God-sized dreams. They bear much kingdom fruit: new disciples; bold spirit leaders; people sent into the mission field as purveyors of God’s love, grace and justice; and generous givers. In a phrase, congregations that fully embrace Jesus’ core missional imperatives are “Fearless, Spirit-Led Churches.” The conference and district leadership has a laser focus on this vision. It is written on our hearts. It frames our agendas. It guides our teaching and witness. It informs our prayers. It directs the building of the conference budget and the allocation of our human and financial resources. Together, with each of you, we are on a Journey Toward Vitality along four strategic pathways we believe will help congregations and the conference increase our missional capacity. They are: ·

Developing Missional Leaders,

Equipping Missional Congregations,

Extending Missional Impact, and

Generating Missional Resources.

Developing Missional Leaders builds capacity by creating a culture of call to raise up the next generation of clergy and lay leaders; and by preparing, equipping and deploying lay and clergy leaders who are gifted, passionate, skilled and fruitful in leading congregations to fulfill Jesus’ core missional imperatives. Equipping Missional Congregations builds capacity by creating new places in strategic missional settings, for more people, younger people and more diverse people; and by providing resources and training for existing congregations that demonstrate a readiness to re-invent themselves or launch a new life cycle of missional fruitfulness. Extending Missional Impact builds capacity by providing avenues for congregations to more effectively utilize our “connection” to have a greater impact on transforming their communities and the world. Generating Missional Resources builds capacity by creating generous givers and generating the financial resources necessary to create and sustain our leadership development, congregational vitality and missional impact initiatives.

Significant progress is being made along each of these strategic pathways. Our Lay Servant Leaders recruitment and training program has been re-designed and re-energized. As a part of a comprehensive assessment of our very successful conference camping ministry, we are reviewing how camping can better align with our commitment to identify and enlist the next generation of bold, spiritual leaders. We have successfully launched the second cohort of Missional Church Consultation Initiative (MCCI) with five congregations in the initial cohort group and five in the second cohort group. This intense and comprehensive local church consultation process assists congregations to re-invent themselves and to enter into a new, more fruitful life cycle. Rev. Sue Nilson Kibbey will guide and expand our Missional Church Consultation Initiative. We continue to create new places for new people through our congregational development efforts. This past year we have seen the start of two new congregations- a vital merger, Kenmare Renew in North Dakota and a satellite of Embrace at Summit Ave. in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We have launched Thrive: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow, a capital campaign that allows us to live out God’s vision to reach new people through starting new churches, strengthening our current churches and developing our clergy leadership. I am convinced that God is calling us to re-evangelize the Dakotas Conference to unleash ”God’s Mission, Our Vision.” We must develop hearts that break for the poor, the lost, the forgotten, the excluded. We need passion for turning the church inside out to embrace the needs of those outside the church. I ask each of you to commit to join the conference leadership and me in prayer. Pray this Breakthrough Prayer every day.

Bishop Bruce R. Ough

Prayer for Unleashing New Life Gracious and Holy God, send your Holy Spirit to: • Break through and renew and revive our churches, unleashing your vision for our mission of making disciples and transforming the world. • Empower our clergy and lay leadership to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with you, O God. • Boldly use me, without limits, delays, or excuses, to defend the poor, offer abundant life, and heal a broken world. • Create in me a clean heart and a joyful desire to follow your way of light, love, and truth. I pray in the precious and powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

Dakotas-Minnesota Area of The United Methodist Church

Bishop Bruce R. Ough

Journey Toward Vitality Dakotas Conference of the United Methodist Church Mission To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Vision

For every congregation to become a vital expression of the scriptural imperatives of: loving God and neighbor, reaching new people, and healing a broken world.

Vision Pathways

To increase the capacity of all churches, clergy and laity throughout the Dakotas Conference by: developing missional leaders, equipping missional congregations, extending missional impact, and generating missional resources. The Vision Pathways will lead churches, clergy, and laity of the Dakotas Conference to the following outcomes:

Developing Missional Leaders • • • •

Greater supply of young clergy to reach younger people and ensure future church leadership. Clergy implement a plan to grow continually in leadership and discipleship abilities. United Methodists who can articulate their “God stories” -- God at work in their lives. Trained, equipped, and empowered laity serving in vital ministry throughout the Dakotas Conference.

Equipping Missional Congregations • 10-20 congregations each year assessed and taking the next steps toward vitality. • “New places for new people” -- new churches, worship services, outreach ministries. • Effective leadership available for new ministries and/or new life cycles of ministry.

Extending Missional Impact

• Congregations understanding their local “mission field,” and positively making local impact. • Each church in active partnership with one of these Dakotas Conference missions--Tree of Life, Spirit Lake Ministry Center, Solar Oven Partners, Bakken Oil Rush Ministry. • Significant impact in the Bakken area-- increase of United Methodists who are following Jesus and reaching out to love their neighbors. • Individuals and congregations engaged in new opportunities to heal a broken world through global missions.

Generating Missional Resources

• Congregations with a greater understanding of and trust in the vision of the Dakotas Conference and how their giving supports the local church through that vision. • Individuals/Congregations growing in Christ-likeness by looking beyond themselves in the area of financial giving. • A Conference financial capacity to support initiatives to make new disciples through starting new churches and revitalizing existing churches.

1. Vacation and Time Off Policy Adopted: 2015

Vacation Vacation is a vital and important part of human health and renewal. The Charge will pay for the pulpit supply for vacation Sundays. In order to ensure the health of our Spirit-led missional leaders, the Dakotas conference mandates that each charge shall grant full time appointed clergy at least, but not limited to the following amount of paid vacation during each appointment year. • Four (4) weeks, including four Sundays, for a total of 28 days. Parishes may choose to grant more than four weeks considering years of service in ministry, family needs, or other variables. All such agreements shall be agreed to in writing between the pastor and pastor/staff parish relations committee. • Clergy with a less than a full time appointment shall be granted at least the number of vacation: • Quarter Time appointed clergy shall receive one (1) week including four Sundays for a total of 10 days. • Half Time appointed clergy shall receive two (2) weeks including four Sundays for a total of 16 days. • Three-quarter Time appointed clergy shall receive three (3) weeks including four Sundays for a total of 22 days. Continuing Education Continuing Education is a vital and important part of leadership development for Spirit-led missional leaders. Continuing Education time is not to be confused with vacation. Vacation is for rest and recharging. Continuing Education is for professional and spiritual development. Each Charge will grant its appointed clergy (full or part-time) two weeks, including one Sunday, for a total of 11 days for the purpose of continuing education and professional improvement during each appointment year. The Charge will pay for the pulpit supply for the continuing education Sunday. Annual Conference All clergy are expected to attend all sessions of the Annual Conference. The Sunday immediately after Annual Conference is a travel/rest day and is not vacation or continuing education time. The Charge will pay the travel, registration and per diem expense for its clergy and lay members attending Annual Conference. The Charge will pay for the pulpit supply for Conference Sunday. Connectional Responsibilities Clergy, as members of the Annual Conference will have connectional responsibilities (e.g. meetings of the Annual, Jurisdictional or General Conference Boards and agencies, Conference Camps, etc.). Time spent on these responsibilities will not be counted as vacation time or continuing education. Clergy will inform the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee of time needed for these responsibilities. Weekly Days Off Clergy are expected to take holidays and at least one day off each week. Up to five days of “compensation time” may be accumulated to be taken at another time, not to include a Sunday. Clergy will inform the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee when “compensation time” is taken. Additional Time Away Any additional time for personal reasons or for educational purposes will be negotiated with the Clergy, the Pastor Staff Parish Relations Committee, in consultation with the District Superintendent. It is recommended a written agreement be developed and signed for purpose of clarity and understanding. The vacation and time off policy applies to the Conference leadership clergy as well as the clergy serving local church.

2. Dakotas Cabinet Resolutions 2015 1.

Moves shall be scheduled to occur between June 15 and July 15. If a move is scheduled to happen prior to the last Sunday in June, compensation shall still be paid by the current charge through the end of the month. 4. That both congregations and pastors be sensitive and respectful as to the transition of pastoral leadership in a charge. Negotiations between the Staff-Parish Relations chair, and the incoming and outgoing pastor as to first Sunday and care for priestly functions shall be done on a case-by-case basis. July 1 shall be the start date for all incoming pastors unless other arrangements have been made. That consideration be given by the congregation to the incoming pastor to have his/her first Sunday serve as a welcoming Sunday, and that formal preaching and worship leadership responsibilities begin the following Sunday.

3. Equitable Compensation Policy The purpose of Equitable Compensation is to work with the District Superintendents in the effort to support congregations as they strive to become viable (Rule 1.4). This is done by A)providing salary support grants to Churches/ Charges served by a full-time United Methodist pastor and B)making an annual recommendation of the minimum compensation needed by a pastor to allow them to focus their efforts on the ministry instead of seeking secondary employment. ANNUAL RECOMMENDATION OF MINIMUM COMPENSATION 1) The Base Cash Salary for each year: 65% of the Conference Average Compensation for Full Connection Clergy; 62% of the Conference Average Compensation for Less than Full Connection Clergy 2) The Base Cash Salary for both clergy groups listed in paragraph #1 shall include any personal tax deferred annuities, personal IRA’s paid by the local church, or personal pension plan in addition to the recommended contribution to the Pension program (UMPIP) in No. 3. 3) The pastor shall receive the following in addition to minimum compensation. A) Pension Program Contribution (UMPIP) equal to 3% of the Denominational Average Compensation; B)Continuing Education allowance (minimum of $150); C)Travel Allowance by voucher at the current IRS rate; D)Utilities paid in full (minimum of heat, electricity, local phone service, water, garbage service, and internet); Accountable Reimbursement Plan (minimum of $500). SALARY SUPPORT GRANTS 1) The following requests will be considered by the Commission: a. Strategic Appointment Grant – Available when a new appointment results in significantly increased costs to the Church/Charge. These increased costs will be so burdensome that it is unlikely that the

Church/Charge will have adequate resources available to take the necessary steps to becoming viable without outside assistance. The purpose of this grant is to assist the Church/Charge in its transition to being able to fully support the newly appointed pastor. The Church/Charge shall provide monthly written status reports to the District Superintendent and Conference Treasurer. Status reports shall at a minimum report progress towards benchmarks. b. Discernment Grant – Available when a Church/Charge has declined in its ability to support a full-time United Methodist pastor to the point where it is unlikely to be able to provide the recommended minimum compensation. The purpose of this grant is to provide time for the Church/Charge and District Superintendent to evaluate the viability of the congregation and decide upon a ministry plan that is appropriate for the Church/Charge. The District Superintendent shall provide a report on the viability and the ministry plan at the next Equitable Compensation meeting. Depending on the ministry plan adopted by the District Superintendent and the Church/Charge, it may be appropriate for the Church/Charge to provide monthly written status reports to the District Superintendent and Conference Treasurer. c. Emergency Grant – Available when a Church/Charge provides evidence that they will not be able to provide their full-time United Methodist pastor with the recommended minimum compensation. The purpose of this grant is to ensure that the pastor is properly cared for. Churches/Charges shall pay their apportionments in full during the years they receive salary support grant payments. Churches/Charges that do not comply with this shall not be considered for a Salary Support Grant the following year with the exception of Emergency Grants. The maximum amount to be paid for Strategic Appointment Grants and Discernment Grants shall be $5,400 annually. Grant payments to Churches/Charges shall be made monthly. A Church/Charge shall not receive Salary Support Grant payments for more than 36 consecutive months. Salary Support Grant requests shall be submitted in writing to the District Superintendent and the Conference Treasurer. In order for Salary Support Grant payments to continue into a new calendar year, the written request must be updated and resubmitted. The Churches/Charges receiving support will be listed in the Conference Journal.

4. Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Active, Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Dakotas Conference The Dakotas Conference (the “Conference”) adopts the following resolutions relating to rental/housing allowances for active, retired, terminated, or disabled clergypersons of the Conference: WHEREAS, the religious denomination known as The United Methodist Church (the “Church”), of which this Conference is a part, has in the past functioned and continues to function through ministers of the gospel (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 107) who were or are duly ordained, commissioned, or licensed ministers of the Church (“Clergypersons”); 40

WHEREAS, the practice of the Church and of this Conference was and is to provide active Clergypersons with a parsonage or a rental/housing allowance as part of their gross compensation; WHEREAS, pensions or other amounts paid to active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons are considered to be deferred compensation and are paid to active, retired, terminated, and disabled Clergypersons in consideration of previous active service; and WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has recognized the Conference (or its predecessors) as an appropriate organization to designate a rental/housing allowance for Clergypersons who are or were members of this Conference and are eligible to receive such deferred compensation; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: THAT an amount equal to 100% of the pension, severance, or disability payments received from plans authorized under The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church (the “Discipline”), which includes all such payments from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (“GBOPHB”), during the calendar year 2016 by each active, retired, terminated, or disabled Clergyperson who is or was a member of the Conference, or its predecessors, be and hereby is designated as a rental/housing allowance for each such Clergyperson; and THAT the pension, severance, or disability payments to which this rental/housing allowance designation applies will be any pension, severance, or disability payments from plans, annuities, or funds authorized under the Discipline, including such payments from the GBOPHB and from a commercial annuity company that provides an annuity arising from benefits accrued under a GBOPHB plan, annuity, or fund authorized under the Discipline, that result from any service a Clergyperson rendered to this Conference or that an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson of this Conference rendered to any local church, annual conference of the Church, general agency of the Church, other institution of the Church, former denomination that is now a part of the Church, or any other employer that employed the Clergyperson to perform services related to the ministry of the Church, or its predecessors, and that elected to make contributions to, or accrue a benefit under, such a plan, annuity, or fund for such an active, a retired, a terminated, or a disabled Clergyperson’s pension, severance, or disability plan benefit as part of his or her gross compensation. NOTE: The rental/housing allowance that may be excluded from a Clergyperson’s gross income in any year for federal (and, in most cases, state) income tax purposes is limited under Internal Revenue Code section 107(2), and regulations thereunder, to the least of: (a) the amount of the rental/housing allowance designated by the Clergyperson’s employer or other appropriate body of the Church (such as this Conference in the foregoing resolutions) for such year; (b) the amount actually expended by the Clergyperson to rent or provide a home in such year; or (c) the fair rental value of the home, including furnishings and appurtenances (such as a garage), plus the cost of utilities in such year. Each clergyperson or former clergyperson is urged to consult with his or her own tax advisor to determine what deferred compensation is eligible to be claimed as a housing allowance exclusion.

5. Housing/Parsonage Allowance for Ordained Conference Staff and District Superintendents WHEREAS, section 107 of the Internal Revenue Code permits a minister of the gospel to exclude from gross income the rental value of a parsonage furnished to the minister; WHEREAS, a minister is also allowed to exclude from gross income the amount paid to him/her as a properly designated parsonage allowance to the extent used for actual expenses incurred in maintaining a parsonage; 41

WHEREAS, a minister is also allowed to exclude from gross income the amount paid to him/her in lieu of a parsonage when properly designated as a housing allowance to the extent used for actual housing expenses not to exceed the fair rental value of the home (including furnishing and appurtenances such as a garage, plus the cost of utilities); WHEREAS the Dakotas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church is the qualified organization for the designation of housing and parsonage allowances for all ordained persons who serve as District Superintendents, as paid officers of the conference or as members of the conference staff; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that of the cash salary paid to the following persons the following parsonage allowances are hereby designated for the calendar year 2016 and for all future years unless otherwise provided:

• Randolph Cross - $7,000 • Arlene Jackson - $7,000 (7/1/15) • Jim Konsor - $7,000 • Keith Nelson - $8,800 • Roger Spahr - $30,000 (7/1/15)

• Michael Flowers - $7,000 • Kevin Kloster - $8,800 (7/1/15) • Matt Morrison - $7,000 (7/1/15) • Alyssa Quade - $7,000 (7/1/15) • Rebecca Trefz - $17,000 in 2016

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in addition to cash salary, the following person(s) will be paid the following amount instead of being furnished a parsonage in which to live, and this additional amount is hereby designated as a housing allowance for the calendar year 2016 and all future years unless otherwise provided:

• Randolph Cross - $18,000 • Roger Spahr - $18,000

• Arlene Jackson - $18,000 • Rebecca Trefz - $18,000

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, during the interim between meetings, the Dakotas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church authorizes the Conference Human Resources Committee to designate housing and parsonage allowances in accordance with section 107 of the Internal Revenue Code. Such designations are to be recorded in the official minutes of that Committee.

6. Board of Pensions Recommended Actions of the 2015 Annual Conference 6.1 The Budget: The Board recommends that the 2016 Board of Pensions Budget be adopted as proposed (detail outlined in the budget section of the JOURNAL) with the total apportionment request of $92,000. 6.2 Clergy Medical Leave: Glen Sayler and James Waisanen are approved to continue on medical leave and to receive CPP Disability Benefits for the conference year of July 1, 2015-June 30, 2016. 6.3 The Pre-82 (Past Service) Annuity Rate: The Board recommends that the 2016 Past Service Annuity Rate (effective 1/1/2016) be set at $667.50 for each year of pre-82 service in the Dakotas Conference. This is a 3.5% increase over 2015. 6.4 HealthFlex Issues: For 2016, the annual Direct Bill for premiums to “active” participants will be 28% of the total active HealthFlex premium. Of this 28%, 25% will be used to offset the current premium while 3% will be deposited into an account for our retiree health funding plan. This 25% portion will be Direct Billed to the active participants in two parts: 42

a. A stated amount of $1,065 for participant+1 coverage and $1,543 for family coverage, plus b. An amount determined by the ratio of the previous year’s participant’s total compensation in their current place of work and ministry to the total compensation paid to all active participants in the Conference. (See Active Participant Premium Table) This “participant’s share” calculation applies to the position, not to the individual occupying the position, as long as the position’s compensation is within plus or minus five (5) percent (%) range of the previous compensation, for the purpose of calculating the amount to be paid after a move/change in personnel. The actual amount to be paid directly by active participants in 2016 is approximately $468,156. Eligibility to participate will be as specified in the HealthFlex Plan Documents and Conference Policy. Premiums will be paid in accordance with Conference policies regarding such payments (see Policy section of this Journal). 6.5 Pensions and Health Benefits Guidelines: The Board of Pension and Health Benefits affirms the Pension and Health Benefits Guidelines found in the 2014 Journal. (page 211) Conference Health Benefits Plan Eligibility to Participate for Retirees, Spouses & Survivors (clergy or lay): Any retiree not participating in Social Security, ie., who has opted out of Social Security, and thereby not covered by Medicare Part A and enrolled in Medicare Part B, will not be eligible to participate in the health plan of this Conference through HealthFlex, One Exchange or otherwise, in retirement. This does not prohibit a retirees spouse from participating if the spouse has NOT opted out of Social Security and is covered by Medicare Part A and enrolled in Medicare Part B. 6.6 Administration of all plans and work of the Board: The Board recommends that the following be authorized to sign necessary documents relative to the Dakotas Board of Pensions for 2015-2016: The Board Chair, the Conference Benefits Officer and the Treasurer of the Board. 6.7 Regarding Corpus Amounts: Endowment and Trust Fund: The corpus was established at $1,000,000 for the merged Dakotas Conference as of 1/1/1994. Additions since merger total $84,646.59. The Corpus of the Endowment is $1,084,646.59, as of 12/31/14. The Corpus is not viewed as a “target balance”. It is the “foundation” of all Dakotas Pension and Health Plans and cannot be expended for any reason. The Board of Pensions has adopted a strategy of “reserve savings” with accompanying policies endorsed by the Conference Council on Finance and Administration which will enable the Dakotas Conference to “weather” large increases in health insurance premiums; secure the Ministerial Pension Plan and the Pre-82 Plan; and provide funding for CRSP liabilities. Reports of the amount of this “Reserve Savings” and its use will be reported to the Annual Conference upon request. 6.8 Regarding Lynch Trust Funds: The Board of Pensions has adopted a policy regarding Lynch funds as the successor to the Conference Claimants Fund and therefore the entity responsible for administering funds today that are dedicated to the same purpose as the “Conference Claimant Fund” of the Methodist Episcopal Church [and the Methodist Church] as outlined in the will of Frank Lynch. See the pension report for full details. 6.9 RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO RENTAL/HOUSING ALLOWANCES FOR RETIRED AND DISABLED CLERGYPERSONS have been proposed by the Conference Council on Finance and Administration. The Board recommends adoption of allowances for calendar year 2016.

One Matters Award United Methodist Discipleship Ministries encouraged conferences to renew their focus on discipleship by honoring churches with the new One Matters Discipleship Award. The agency urges each conference to use the award to recognize at least one church that is turning zeros in baptisms and professions of faith into positive numbers. The award provides $1,000 and a One Matters Discipleship Award plaque.

Common Table

VI. REPORTS

The Common Table and the Conference staff have had a busy year. I appreciate the dedication of both groups and the tremendous effort they have given since the last Annual Conference Session. Program Audit-The Common Table contracted with the Novak Group to do an audit of conference programming. The purpose of this audit was to help conference leadership better align our budget with the priorities of the Annual Conference and our Journey Toward Vitality. The report, presented to the Extended Cabinet and the Common Table, showed that Leader Development and Congregational Vitality work are top perceived priorities and yet, this doesn't necessarily align with our staffing and financial resources deployment, especially in the area of leadership development. These results have "teed-up" many conversations about how we can best steward our financial and human resources as a Conference moving into the future. Feasibility Study-the 2014 Annual Conference approved moving forward to do a Feasibility Study for Congregational Development. They authorized the leadership teams of the Common Table, CCF&A, the Equipping Missional Congregations Link and the Extended Cabinet to receive the report and act as they saw fit on behalf of the Annual Conference. The Tyler Associates surveyed over 450 clergy and laity through personal interviews and online questionnaires. In January, they met with the leadership teams in Watertown and presented their findings. Their results indicated that 92% believed it was important to implement an intentional plan for congregational development and 99% of those believed we need to do a capital campaign in order to secure the funding necessary to fulfill this plan. The group voted unanimously to move forward with a Capital Campaign. Leadership Event-In September of 2014, the Common Table hosted the second annual gathering for conference leadership in Fargo, ND “Onward: Fearless, Spirit-Led Churches. Bishop Robert Schnase from the Missouri Conference led the event, teaching from his book, Seven Levers: Missional Strategies for Conferences. Groups also met to discuss how their Link or Committee plays a role in implementing these strategies and moving us forward in our Journey Toward Vitality. The Common Table will hold another leadership event on September 17-18 in Mitchell, SD. Submitted by Rev. Ray Baker, Chair and written by Rev. Rebecca Trefz, Dir. of Ministries

Commission on Archives and History Many local United Methodist churches are recapturing the missionary zeal with which they were founded. As churches recapture that missionary zeal, they are called to remember. They remember why they were founded. They remember their motivating spirit. As they do so, they find people surrounding them discovering what the first Methodists realized in 18th century England – that urbanizing industrialization doesn’t save us. Technological advances may make our lives easier, but they don’t necessarily make us better people. We still need repentance. We still need salvation, and the world still needs a people, motivated by the gospel, to transform the world. In short, the world still needs what our churches were founded to provide. Unfortunately, too many churches have almost lost the memory of their founding missionary zeal to meet that need. Therefore, with concern for our disciple-making, world-transforming mission, General Conference has provided that every annual conference elect and fund a Commission on Archives and History to provide that ministry of memory. As a Commission, our ministry is to support the annual conference’s mission by helping local churches and the conference preserve and access its memory of missionary zeal. We also exist to provide a connection beyond the local church. Your CAH, which comprises seven voting and three non-voting members, met three times in the past year (twice by phone and once in person) in pursuit of our 12 mandated Disciplinary provisions. (¶641). At each meeting, CAH takes a tithe of its scheduled meeting time to pray, and relate our work to the general United Methodist devotional rule of staying in love with God. Our highest temporal priority, and more than 92.3% our 2014 expenditures, is supporting the archives space, its personnel and program costs that we are honored to share with Dakota Wesleyan University. (CAH’s 2016 budget request envisions those items representing 85.6% of the budget.) Archivist Laurie Langland holds an earned doctorate and has a dual role as Dakota Wesleyan University staff and non-teaching faculty. We share half of her time with the university. Her conference time is busy with research requests and processing donations of materials, including records from an ever-growing list of closed churches. Compiling memoirs for annual conference and the journal, according to policies, is another regular task. Langland also stands ready to assist local churches as they develop their own history committees or conduct the ministry of memory at the local level. Furthermore, those looking for guidelines on what to save, may go to the conference website at http://www.dakotasumc.org/media/files/Doreen/Guidelines_1_page_May_2010.pdf for a summary of some of the more common records. For a more extensive listing, see http://s3.amazonaws.com/gcah.org/Resources/Guidelines_Publications/ConfRetSched.2013.pdf

In pursuit of the mission to equip local churches, your CAH initiated a number of new measures in the past year. For instance, you may remember a questionnaire at annual conference session last year about important events in your local church. This year, with the help of our colleagues in the Ohio conferences, we have expanded that questionnaire into a form we made available on the resource flash drives given at this year’s session. This is meant to be a dynamic document that each local church will complete and update as needed or as more complete information becomes available. This way, the conference can assist in preserving your history at the local level. We imagine there will be questions. Therefore, we urge you to reach out to any commission member for any assistance you may need in completing that form. Also, this year, you have made funds available for us to administer grants in memory of our late long-term member Warren Kuhler. Local churches that elect a local church historian are eligible to apply for matching conference grant money to assist in preserving and/or making accessible your local-church history. Applications for these grants are available from any commission member. Another priority is attendance at the annual meeting of the North Central Jurisdictional Convocation on Archives and History, the site of which rotates throughout this jurisdiction’s episcopal areas. In 2014, the convocation was held in Petoskey, Michigan. Commission member Betty Testerman attended along with her husband, Wayne. Our conference makes annual reports to this group, which elects members to the General Commission on Archives and History. Our conference delegates then hear reports back from that general agency, as well as from other conference commissions throughout the jurisdiction. Thus, attendance serves the conference’s purpose of “providing a connection for ministry beyond the local church” (¶601). I serve as vice president of this group, which is scheduled to meet this year in Evanston, Ill., on the campus of our Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. We are looking forward to hosting this group in Bismarck in 2017. The CAH is preparing for the publication of an update to our conference history, slated to come out in 2017. This project is being researched and written by our own Dakotas clergy Rev. Dr. Stephen Perry, who has headed this project since 2004. He updates your CAH annually. The CAH is responsible for recognizing jubilee clergy. The CAH annually re-examines the published service records of retired clergy and makes appropriate changes in our records. We then collect short essays from these recipients describing their lives and ministries since retirement. We submit these for publication in the conference journal. Furthermore, the CAH buys the grave markers presented by the Cabinet to the families of our clergy members at the clergy’s individual memorial services. All of this work is conducted with a portion of your connectional-mission giving (apportionments). So, we thank you for prioritizing the equipping of this ministry of memory. Sincerely, Rev. R. Duane Coates, Chairman

Director of Ministries Recently, Steve and I have found ourselves doing what many clergy will do in the coming months—packing and unpacking. We should be pros by now. But the challenge this time was moving into a house with a different layout than we’d ever had before. It required us to sort through things with a whole new set of eyes—determining what needed to stay, to be let go of, and to be used differently or in a different room. Ironically, this has been what the last year of ministry has been like for me. Some of that has come with being in a completely different kind of ministry position. And some of it has come as I have joined with staff and conference leadership in looking at our conference ministries with a whole new set of eyes. In the same way it is with my current unpacking endeavors, this year has been filled with excitement as well as challenges. In our Journey Toward Vitality, I am so pleased with and encouraged by the work done in the first pathway—Developing Missional Leaders. The Board of Ordained Ministry approved a Clergy Effectiveness Document that will no doubt guide the programs, assessments and learning environments that we create to help all clergy continue to grow as leaders. Our Camping Board and leadership have embraced the mission to make disciples and develop missional leaders by not only offering excellent camping programs, but also through partnering with local churches to ensure that the camping experience undergirds local church disciple-making. Sixty-one laity went through workshops to help them discern their callings and become better equipped as servant leaders and 240 youth and adults will be heading to Youth 15 in Florida—an experience that will no doubt fuel God’s work in their lives. In addition, each of these groups, as well as the Link, have continued to ask tough questions and wrestle with what it means to develop leaders of all ages in the 21st Century.

178

In the area of Equipping Missional Congregations, I was privileged to be a part of the consultation team for the Sioux Falls First and Spearfish UMC MCCI weekends. I’m excited that we were able to share a vital piece of the MCCI training—the Breakthrough Prayer Initiative—at two-conference-wide training opportunities in January and will share another—Telling Your God Story—as a pre-conference workshop. We held a Church Planter Assessment workshop to help begin to identify people with gifts to start new churches. Our new church efforts will also be multiplied as we launch new churches in Watford City and Sioux Falls in the coming year. Finally, all of these efforts will be highlighted as we share the vision and launch our Capital Campaign for Congregational Development—THRIVE: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Even as it is the theme of this year’s annual conference, our efforts in Extending Missional Impact continue to grow and evolve. With the expansion of the Solar Oven Partners associate director to full-time, the hiring of a new Executive Director at Tree of Life Ministries, the beginning of small discipleship groups at Spirit Lake Ministry Center and the expanding reach and impact of the Bakken Oil Region ministries in Watford City and Williston, God’s vision has already become our mission! The conference staff and leadership have also been working with these ministries through leadership changes and through training and equipping their Boards and Advisory teams to function as partners in leadership and ministry. Finally, one thing I’ve been especially reminded of this past year—something that is true in all ministry settings—is that these missional efforts are only possible if we are intentional about Generating Missional Resources Missional Resources and being good stewards of those resources. A program audit this past fall has helped “tee up” some important conversations and has prompted us to continue focusing on alignment across areas, including alignment of our missional resources with our overall mission. One of our greatest missional resources is our staff. We’ve undergone several staff changes and realignments in the past year and there is still more to come. As with most changes, these shifts bring anxiety as well as hope and possibility. But God has been faithful through it all and we trust that God will continue to provide the staffing leadership needed to move forward. Hopefully, Steve and I will have finished the unpacking/sorting/arranging process by the time this report is published. But I know the process of continuing to “unpack” this role and see God’s calling and opportunities for ministry in our Conference with new eyes, will be an ongoing adventure. Thanks be to God! Rev. Rebecca Trefz, Director of Ministries

Communications The stories of transformation and discipleship continue to flourish across the Dakotas Conference. Communications is blessed to tell the story in many ways. The need for digital and video storytelling is constantly increasing as the vitality of the churches across the conference is expanding. Resources and tools have been put in place to help tell the story of the local churches. David Stucke was hired in August 2015 as the Communications Associate. Dave brings skills in video production. He was a longtime member of Canyon Lake United Methodist Church in Rapid City, South Dakota. Most recently he worked with technology and video in Spokane, Washington. Dave has enhanced the video quality and produced several videos including Bishop’s Christmas and Easter message, the Conference weekly Lenten videos, and videos for conference missionaries. The use of the DAVID video conferencing systems continues to grow. DAVID is now being utilized in the Minnesota Conference. There have been upgrades in equipment, software and new sites added. Here is a list of DAVID sites: North Dakota sites: Bismarck McCabe UMC, Fargo First UMC, Grand Forks Wesley, Jamestown First UMC, Minot Vincent UMC, Williston Faith UMC. South Dakota sites: Aberdeen First UMC, Lake Poinsett, Mitchell Conference Office, Pierre First UMC, Rapid City First UMC, Sioux Falls Asbury UMC, and Watertown First UMC. Minnesota sites: Grand Rapids UMC, Minnesota Conference Office, Redwood Falls UMC, Rochester Evangel UMC, and Sartell St. Cloud Regional UMC. Other communication tools and resources continue to increase in usage including the website, e-newsletters including Mondays @ Dakotas and Pastors @ Dakotas. Other communication efforts include live production at events such as the Fall Leadership Gathering and Annual Conference.

179

Communications has also worked with several groups on branding their messages, events or ministries. Specific marketing and branding efforts include the Thrive Campaign and continual work on the Bakken Oil Rush Ministry. Other efforts that Dakotas Conference Communications has been involved with include creating the Missional Report, press releases to major news outlets for conference wide ministries and events, creating bulletin inserts, videos and other media for the Thanksgiving Appeal, Lent, Fall Mission events and much more. We look forward to continuing to tell the stories of vitality and how churches are reaching out beyond their doors. Doreen Gosmire, Associate Director of Communications

Thrive: Strength for today, Hope for tomorrow Thrive was launched at the 2015 Annual Conference Session. Deb Kjerstad is the Capital Campaign Director and Taya Swanson is the Project Manager. The Thrive Plan is focused on reaching new people to grow in love for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world through starting ten new churches, strengthening 112 existing churches, developing existing leaders and preparing the next generation of leaders. Bishop Ough states, “ Through Thrive, we will equip ourselves to reach our children, grandchildren and future generations. We will renew our spirits, empower passionate leadership, and revive our ministries to and with God’s people. We will rejoice in the breakthroughs of God’s Holy Spirit in our lives and churches as we continue increasing the number of vital congregations.

Developing Missional Leaders Link We are living in an exciting time in the Dakota’s Conference! Whether it is amongst laity or clergy, the Spirit is moving and beckoning us to continue to be fearless spirit-led leaders. The function of the Developing Missional Leaders Link is to equip the local church by working with the conference leadership to provide encouragement, assessment, training and resources. All of the many facets of this particular link have taken this call seriously over the last year and worked hard towards living into journeying towards vitality and aligning themselves with the vision pathways of our conference. As a link we have explored the areas in which we are successfully living into our call: • The Board of Ordained Ministry o Implemented seminarian retreat prior to annual conference in 2014 and is continuing this great relationship-building event. o Produced a clergy effectiveness document to help strengthen the leadership of current and future clergy. • Camping and Retreat Ministries o Working toward a self-sustained, apportionment neutral operation model. o Implementing camping outcomes for the 2015 camping season. • Lay Ministries o Working hard to identify laity who are our most essential leaders. o 700 laity in the last 13 years have taken servant ministry courses. o 280 have attended a discernment event in the last 3 years. o 44 youth/young adults who took Lay Speaking at LTC from 2007-2012. • Conference Council on Youth Ministry o Taking 235 youth and leaders headed to Orlando this summer for Youth 15. o Strategically planned follow-up events and connecting points to keep these people engaged, growing in discipleship and leadership • Young Adult and Campus Ministry o Gave eight grants totaling $58,200 to implement ministries to reach a new and different demographic. o Grant Recipients were: Wesley UMC (Edgley, ND), United Campus Ministry of School of Mines, Beresford UMC, First underground -Sioux Falls First, The Bridge – Fargo Faith and NDSU, Embrace- Summit Ave, Rapid City South Maple, Spearfish UMC We also looked seriously at the areas in which there may be gaps or room for improvement in our discipleship of leaders within our conference clergy and laity alike. We are asking tough questions about how we, as a link and as conference leadership, can help:

180

Lower the age at which we begin to intentionally disciple and train leaders Equip pastors to better recognize and raise up leadership from within our congregations Better identify points of entry into faith and ways to move someone deeper into discipleship, towards Christlikeness Shift the cultural understanding to help people see that it isn’t just the paid pastor who does ministry Continue work on clergy effectiveness while empowering people to see discipleship as more than just a Sunday morning thing • Ensure that hope and joy stay central because otherwise Christianity isn’t attractive • Make disciples instead of just church members; develop people who lead people to Christ • Identify gifts in people and then plug them into where their gifts are best lived out, rather than just fill slots It is the hope and prayer of this link that as we carry out this work we really are developing missional leaders who create new disciples of Jesus to transform the world. • • • • •

Board of Ordained Ministry Report 2015 As your Dakotas Conference Board of Ordained Ministry, we are blessed and challenged with (though not limited to) the following tasks: nurturing people through the candidacy and ordination process, training new clergy and lay leaders in the Dakotas, creating and maintaining standards for clergy effectiveness throughout a clergy member's life of service, and honoring the service of our clergy members at pivotal transition points. Over the last several years, we on the Board have worked hard at better focusing this work in light of our mission as United Methodists to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world; our Board is made up of clergy and laity who take seriously our own part in this Gospel imperative. Two pieces of our work that are before this Annual Conference are a Clergy Effectiveness document and an updated Vacation Policy. (The Clergy Effectiveness document follows this report and the Vacation Policy is included in the Rules and Policy). Other events and opportunities we offer to fulfill our tasks are: • Licensing and Certified Lay Ministry school; • a pre-Conference gathering for seminary students and young adult members of Conference; • on-site, in-person interviews for commissioning and ordination candidates; • training events for District Committees on Ministry and mentors (candidacy and clergy mentors); • facilitating a group to attend the bi-annual, denominational Explo event and coordinating the ELISHA internship project (both Explo and ELISHA are designed for young people exploring ministry). We on the Dakotas Board of Ordained Ministry are also seeking to expand our culture of call and to grow the relationships of those already in our candidacy and ordination process. Our Dakotas clergy and laity are our best resources when it comes to calling and supporting new people into clergy leadership: please have open eyes and hearts for those in our midst God might be calling to be bold, missional leaders for Jesus Christ in The United Methodist Church of the Dakotas. We need leaders with a sense of creativity who are aware of shifting cultural dynamics and who are willing to step out in faith to connect people to Jesus in new and different ways. Once we have these leaders on track, each of us must work to stay connected with them and with each other so that we are sufficiently encouraged and supported in this high and holy calling. Your prayers for this work are coveted and much appreciated. Peace in Christ, Jenny Hallenbeck, Chair Dakotas Board of Ordained Ministry

With mutually agreed upon goals, the evaluation becomes a team effort, and not an opportunity to unduly criticize a pastor for not doing what he/she never realized they were expected to do in the first place.

The measurement of these standards and practices of the effective clergy occur under the supervisory work of the superintendent and the ongoing review and support of the staff-parish relations committee or other personnel committees for those in extension ministries or the deacons in ministry beyond the local church. As mutually agreed upon expectations and goals are created in consultation with these groups, the effective clergy will be able to honestly ask and answer the questions: How clearly and fully have I been able to create this ministry environment over the past period of time? Were there aspects of this practice that could have been clearer or more focused? How else may I continue to grow in each of these areas in order to prove my effectiveness? Am I being faithful to my ordination vows, family and my relationship to God?

The role of the Board of Ordained Ministry for clergy effectiveness falls in the area of providing standards, best practices and healthy examples for a life of clergy ministry in the Dakotas Conference.

Camping Ministries With the aid of consultant Jody Oates of Kaleidoscope, Inc. the Board of Camping and Retreat Ministries and the camping staff have been involved in an in-depth evaluation process of the entire camping ministry. Historical and current data were reviewed within the context of the Dakotas Conference Journey to Vitality. A copy of that report dated February 2015 is included on the next pages. The statistical data and supporting documentation that accompanied the summary are available upon request from the camping office. As we worked with the consultant a task force consisting of board members and staff also began the challenging work of defining the shared outcomes of the camping ministry. After much conversation and discernment the Camping Ministry has affirmed the following statement and outcomes: Campers will claim and become their best self, claiming God’s call on their life. Camp will grow Christian leaders who: • Articulate faith • Love and accept everyone • Serve others • Trust God Work is well underway with a small group of deans to intentionally provide age appropriate camping experiences this summer that will allow campers to claim their best self and God’s call in their lives while growing in their ability to articulate their faith, love and accept everyone, serve others and trust God. We are in the process of identifying indicators that will help us measure growth in these areas with follow up conversation scheduled in the local churches this fall and winter to determine if this growth is being demonstrated in the local churches. Outcomes work and measurement will continue to be tweaked as we learn and grow with the goal of providing these intentional, age appropriate camping experiences for all campers in 2016. The camping ministry will also intentionally reach out to partner with local churches to foster continued growth in discipleship and leadership year round Becky Holten, Director of Camping and Youth Ministries

CONTEXT

As the Dakotas Annual Conference seeks to equip vital congregations these pathways are guiding the present and future formation of the organization: 1. Developing bold, spiritual, missional leaders, 2. Equipping vital, missional congregations, 3. Extending the missional impact throughout the communities and the world, and 4. Generating new missional resources. In 2013/2014 Kaleidoscope completed a comprehensive assessment and strategic directions plan. This work identified five key initiatives for the long term health of the ministry: 1. Develop shared outcomes for the camping ministry across the Conference 2. Create a staffing model to enact initiatives 3. Focus the operating model and niche of each site 4. Construct a financial model to fund all areas of ministry 5. Empower a policy governance board with strategic leaders The current work of Kaleidoscope is to define the next steps to live into the key initiatives and define a sustainable operation and ministry for the long term. Key areas were defined to be addressed: 1. Outcomes for camp and retreat ministry per age categories 2. Communications plan for constituents 3. Narrative and financial model, with applicable timeline and implications, for financially viability into the future 4. Defined roles and responsibilities of the diffuse organizational model of Dakotas Camps Evolving Process and Focused Challenge During the consultation, camp and retreat ministry was challenged to become apportionment neutral by 2021, initially in the area of operating funds from conference apportionments that support the ministry, $138,000 in 2015. The challenge also included a vision for becoming apportionment neutral in the area of capital funds, currently $115,000 in 2015. This goal was shared to be a second step after the first goal is reached. While this clearly focused goal created a new urgency and many questions, it didn’t change the nature of the consultation to create a pathway for Dakotas Camps to live into a sustainable future ministry operation. Note about Report: A task force of the Board was assigned to develop the ministry outcomes. This work is critical to defining how camp and retreat ministry is a relevant ministry for United Methodists in the Dakotas Conference. Part one of this report will focus on the operating model, while part two will delineate the ministry outcome part of the consultation.

In the 2014 consultation report, the consultant provided a comprehensive review of the ministry operation, including review of guest use at each property, financial operations, organizational structure, marketing and properties. Below is a summary review and additional information about apportionment history and conference membership.

Guest use & involvement at ministry locations Kaleidoscope conducted a use analysis of the guests who used each site for the past three complete years. The camping office also had user day records for the previous four years. The use is broken down into units, or user days (1 overnight and 3 meals), to provide comparable information within the analysis and within the industry. All three camps are considered to be relatively small operations. Many denominational centers will range from 5,000 to 15,000 user days (some larger). Typically, the consultant would expect to see a “mom and pop” style of operation operate around 5,000-‐6,000 user days. A site with less than 5,000 user days is challenged to have a viable operation into the future. Of the three sites, Storm Mountain is the largest center in regard to use and typically is able to show a gain in their operating budget. Lake Poinsett (including Living Waters Retreat Center) has hovered around 5,000 user days, while Wesley Acres is a smaller site requiring higher subsidy to meet basic operational needs. Note in 2014, Lake Poinsett experienced a significant decline in use, Storm Mountain recovered to similar use as in 2012 and Wesley Acres also declined.

Operating Budget – Financial History The five year history from 2009-‐2013 shows the erratic nature of the operations. With smaller sites, operating budgets will fluctuate from year to year as staff conserve expenses as much as possible one year, but have increased expenditures the following year. The longer view shows the challenge of operating very small centers. The figures for 2014 are preliminary end of year balances. Note the 2015 budget is written as a loss, but reflects the reality of the past several years of operation. Site Central Office Lake Poinsett Storm Mtn Wesley Acres TOTAL

Note: 2014 includes a total of $38k in past wages distributed by all three sites

Insights: • Lake Poinsett was close to break even twice in past seven years, -‐$30k others. Use has hovered around 5,000 user days. When the use fell below 5,000 user days, the operation saw a large deficit. • Storm Mountain has financially supported the other two sites (including gifts and in kind work). Use has been 6,500+ user days. A decline in 2013 resulted in financially breaking even. • Wesley Acres has had a deficit of roughly $25,000 twice in past 7 years. In other years the loss was $60-‐75k. User days have been very consistent at 3,000 user days. Wesley Acres is a very small operation and will be challenged to generate the necessary income for viability. This ministry would need to nearly double present use to become a break even operation. The limited population base in this area will make this amount of growth unlikely. Dakotas Camps will need to continue to provide a greater level of subsidy for this ministry operation. • The Central Office income and expenses are offset by program income, with positive balances some years.

Apportionment History Apportionment funding is provided in five different funds for the ministry of camps and retreats. These areas include: 1. Operations – funds which are used for marketing, other shared expenses and general support for each sites operating budget 2. Capital – funds from the Conference Board of Trustees budget that are used for major maintenance expenses at the three sites each year 3. Conference camp staff and office – provides salary support and benefits and office space for two staff members in the Conference office who support camp ministry 4. Property Taxes – funds to pay for property taxes at the three properties 5. Insurance – liability and property insurance. The camp properties and liability insurance are a part of the larger conference policy, therefore unable to be separated as an individual expense. 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Operations $138,070 $138,000 $138,000 $144,900 $130,410 $138,000 Capital $88,337 $117,500 $120,000 $120,000 $108,000 $115,000 Office & Staff $157,541 $154,634 $162,717 $163,268 $174,101 $179,000 Property Taxes $15,630 $15,597 $19,229 $18,666 $20,000 $24,000 Insurance Not available Not available Not available Not available Not available Not available TOTAL $399,578 $425,731 $439,946 $446,834 $432,511 $456,000 The operations apportionment is the amount the Board has committed to eliminating in the next five years. The capital funds are the secondary area the Board will begin to work on being apportionment neutral. At the current rate, apportionments would still account for $203,000 (plus insurance premiums paid as part of the full conference insurance policy) of income toward the camping ministry.

DIRECTIONS TOWARD SUSTAINABILITY

Annual Conference Messages As a part of the Dakotas Conference ministry, camps and retreats are an integral part of the work to equip local congregations and be a tool for making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. As the Annual Conference seeks to move to align all of the conference initiatives and resources, camp leaders are also called to strategize on how to most effectively provide ministry for the future. The vision and call for a clear focus of ministry for the Annual Conference as a whole is exciting and challenging. It calls for ministries to review, focus and potentially shift the ministry deliverables presently offered. With intense review and discernment since 2014, the Board of Camps have been seeking directions to continue as a strong partner in the conference for the long term. 1. Dakotas Camps has a renewed clarity of our ministry work with a clear focus on specific outcomes. Supporting of local churches in making disciples with a focus on spiritual leadership development – we will enable our campers to claim and become their best self, claiming God’s call on their life. Camp and retreat ministry has a long history and does extremely well at Developing Missional Leaders. To provide greater structure, focus and clarity to this critical work, the values of Christian leadership camp and retreat ministry will excel at teaching includes growing leaders who: • Articulate Faith • Love and Accept Everyone • Serve Others • Trust God 2. With clarity of focus and quality delivery of our product of ministry, we will seek to serve more campers, most critically by increasing summer camp registrations and secondly as a place apart for retreats offered and hosted throughout the year. 3. Dakotas Camps are committed to becoming apportionment neutral in the funding of the operational apportionment by 2021. (The operational apportionment for camps in 2015 is $138,000). This funding initiative includes operating within a balanced budget with the fee and gift income available. Additionally, the board is committed to developing financial models that reduce the capital apportionment of $115,000 to zero. After addressing the operating apportionment, this will be the next area to be self-‐ funded with beginning reducing the amount in 2021. The Board of Camps is grateful for the $200,000+ in additional apportioned funds the Annual Conference provides for staff, office and other support annually. The Conference apportioned funds provide for significant income each year to support

193

camping ministry. In the past five years, apportionments have funded around $450,000 annually. In addition, the camping ministry has had expenses in excess of income (apportionment and fee income) on average of $53,000 each year for the past five years. The Board of Camps believes sustainability requires a balanced operating budget as well. In regard to becoming apportionment neutral with the operational apportionment funds, the board will immediately develop an annual fund campaign to provide support to operate the budget of our three camps. A comprehensive resource development plan is being implemented to seek long-‐term sustainability. This plan includes increased revenue from fees, creation of an annual fund program, developing partnerships with similar missional organizations, reviewing operational models, etc. With increased use and initiation of an annual fund, the apportionment request for 2016 will be $128,000 in the operational apportionment (reduced from $138,000 in 2015). 4. With specific financial goals in place for each year until 2021, the board is prepared to create a comprehensive marketing plan, seek partners and guests who are aligned with our mission, review fee structures, align staff with skillsets needed for the newly focused effforts and continue to explore best practices. 5. While these initial steps are critical, the board will also be exploring additional areas of the ministry to assure long-‐term viability for future generations. Areas to be explored may include, but not limited to: • Different operating models (such as less than year round operations) • Creating partnerships and collaborations with other organizations • Realigning property and facility oversight • Reducing the number of sites operated 6. The board will annually report to the Annual Conference the progress over the next five years to reach these goals of apportionment neutrality. Specific next steps and new, revised steps will be reported and acted upon as necessary. 7. In three years, mid way through the process, in 2018, the board will conduct a comprehensive review and assessment of all aspects of the ministry and the progress on the initiatives. The results of the assessment will re-‐focus the next steps to live into sustainability and apportionment neutrality in the two aforementioned apportioned funds. The Board of Camps will bring a report of the review to the 2018 Annual Conference session. 8. We seek your feedback, prayers, insights and wisdom for the ministry we share together. As our culture changes, our churches change, our opportunities are new each day, the Board of Camps believes the ministry we offer is life-‐changing and vital to a healthy church and society. We also know we must be good stewards and operate in ways that are sustainable. We seek to be vital and viable in serving you and the world.

COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

To achieve apportionment neutrality AND long term sustainability, each category is defined with parameters of what will be necessary for income. Operating Budget Viability – Goals and Parameters 1. Lake Poinsett Center must grow the amount of users in summer camp and in retreat season toward 6,000 user days. With excellent program and marketing resulting in growth of users to 2008 levels, LPC needs to break in the 2017 fiscal year (including apportionment income support, currently at $46,000 in 2015). a. The average annual loss over the past six years (removing the high and low outliers) has been $19,000. 2. Storm Mountain Center needs to have an operating budget gain of $8,000-‐ $10,000 annually, not including apportioned fund income. a. Storm Mountain Center has had an average annual gain of $8,200 over the past six years (removing the high and low outliers) without the $25,000 apportioned amount included. 3. Wesley Acres annual loss of no more than $30,000 by maintaining 3,000 user days, expanding income by welcoming outside groups and possibly reducing expenses with operational changes. This loss includes apportionment support (currently at $46,000 in 2015). a. The average annual loss over the past six years (removing the high and low outliers) has been $52,806. 4. General office budget break even, including apportionment support ($46,000 in 2015). Annual Fundraising for Operating Budget Establish an annual fund to support the operating budget. Increased use will create a healthier bottom line for the operating budget, but to become apportionment neutral, the Board of Camps will need to establish a significant, ongoing annual fund campaign. Apportionment Funding for Operations Goals and Parameters for Annual Fund 2016: $ 27,750 2016: $128,000 2017: $ 50,000 2017: $ 99,500 2018: $ 65,000 2018: $ 84,500 2019: $ 85,000 2019: $ 68,500 2020: $120,000 2020: $ 33,000 2021: $153,000 2021: $ 0 Note: a spreadsheet projecting end of year financial standing, necessary annual funding and apportionment funding for operations is included in the supporting information.

195

Additional Areas to Explore • Grant funding for operating fund, program development, capital improvements • Endowed gifts for major maintenance and possibly scholarships – using interest income Indicators to Measure The basic indicators to measure effectiveness toward becoming apportionment neutral will include: 1. Total income and end of year balance 2. Number of donors and gifts 3. Average individual giving of donors 4. Annual recidivism rate of donors

CRITICAL GROWTH INITIATIVES 2015-‐2018

Fall 2015 • Contact former retreat groups (especially at LPC and WAC) and invite them back. • Consolidate summer camp events at each site to fill as many beds as possible each week. Seek partners who will offer a summer camp program during the newly opened weeks. • Review reservations for retreat use in winter 2016 into spring. Review cost effectiveness of hosting few guests. Consider closing areas of each property to allow focus on other projects/areas AND reducing expenses. Note, these may be short-‐term decisions. If demand or opportunity arises in the future to sustainably operate an area year round, allow flexibility to make a new decision. • Establish process for annual fund campaign (communication, staffing, database of potential donors). • End of year annual review (likely completed in first quarter 2016) 2016 • Launch annual fund campaign. • Seek partner for a long-‐term lease for late fall/winter season – recreation, hunters. (Note: review tax implications for unrelated business income) • Fully integrate outcomes into summer program (marketing, training, measuring, etc). • Develop marketing/communication plan to increase retention of summer campers from 2015 – multiple, personal contacts. • Explore grant potential for new program models and potentially capital projects (such as new recreation areas, new furnishings, sustainable maintenance) • Explore potential sale partners who might purchase property and lease back to Dakotas Camps as needed. • Review fee structure in relation to expenses, competition and guests’ expectations (perceived value)

196

• • • 2017 • • • 2018 •

Seek other faith communities (who do not own a camp property) to partner, use properties. Create feedback loop for input from constituents End of year annual review (likely completed in first quarter 2017) Grow annual fund campaign Reach out to additional partner groups to fully fill summer use and increase utilization rate of retreats. Review paid staffing model and roles (at sites and conference office) to seek best efficiency. Early 2018 -‐ full review of ministry to be presented at 2018 Annual Conference

FUTURE: Additional Areas of Growth for Board and Staff

1. Continue to define the connection of camping ministry to the local church. 2. Define a discipleship model for young people that includes camping ministry (camping take the lead as faith formation experts). 3. Create a culture of call at camps that connects with local churches and Board of Ordained Ministry.

CONSULTANT OBSERVATIONS / QUESTIONS • •

•

• •

•

All sites MUST increase income, especially in summer camp events when most use is possible. The financial model is built on the assumption Storm Mountain would NOT receive apportioned funds for operation AND would generate a positive income to help cover losses at the other two sites. How does the board encourage the SMC Director to continue this operating model? The board should also create a succession plan for a change in the SMC Director (as may be necessary in the future), as the present Director has deep experience and connections that help enable him to secure resources. The financial model assumes significant growth in income for Lake Poinsett in 2016 and 2017. It also assumes sustained use and growth at Wesley Acres. The consultant believes the efforts of staff (paid and volunteer) providing consistent, quality ministry, based on the identified outcomes, will allow for growth in the ministry. o Lack of growth in income at each of these sites will necessitate the board to review other operating models for the ministry as a whole (and for the Annual Conference) to be sustainable in the long term. Developing an ongoing, supported annual fund can take time to establish and grow. The goals for annual fund support needed are significant. The consultant believes the exploration of operating Wesley Acres seasonally needs to be more fully explored. What would be the cost to upgrade the infrastructure to winterize all facilities? Also, the Board may need to explore owning less property and creating new ways of transporting campers and/or offering outdoor programming in other

197

Board of Camp assures that the annual budget reflects the priorities for the camp to thrive, based on its mission and purpose. • Conference finance leaders establish and enforce fiscal policies that assure financial viability and integrity, consistent with denominational policies and practices. • A communication link needs to be established between those with fiduciary responsibility for the conference (CFA) and those allocating funds for operations (Board of Camps) so that expectations of spending limits are clearly defined. Ensure adequate resources for the organization to fulfill its mission. • Conference finance leaders define funds available from apportioned funds for camp ministry • Board of Camps secure additional gift funding necessary to achieve the annual and special fund raising goals. Ensure legal and ethical integrity and maintain accountability. • CFA and the Conference Board of Trustees need to set and communicate expectations for the Board of Camps and the staff. An annual review of policies and procedures is advised. Ensure effective organizational planning; assist in implementing and monitoring the plan’s goals. • The Board of Camps is responsible for long range planning in relation to the Conference overall initiatives. Recruit and orient new members of the leadership body (for appointment or election, depending on the system); regularly assess the body’s performance. • Securing new Board of Camp members is a function of the Conference Nominating Committee. The Board of Camps needs to work closely with the Nominating Committee and communicate expectations of members to ensure new leaders are the best possible members. • The Board of Camps needs to develop an orientation model for new members and create an assessment tool for ongoing (at least annual) review of the work of the board. Enhance the organization’s public standing. • The Board of Camps must be able to articulate the mission, purpose and core values to the public, create key messages that are used by leaders to communicate the current status of the camp vision and goals, and take initiative to solicit support in a variety of forms within the sphere of influence of the members. Determine, monitor, and strengthen the effectiveness of the organization’s programs and services. • This is the role of the Board of Camps to establish a system and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the programs and conduct the assessment. •

198

10. Support the professional staff and assess or provide feedback related to his or her performance. • The Board of Camps identify the person/committee who communicates to the supervisor (Conference Director of Ministry) the expectations of the Board of Camps for the lead staff person. The board also can provide feedback to the Director of Ministry (supervisor) related to the accomplishment of goals and outcomes established for the professional staff.

199

PROGRAM OUTCOMES & MEASUREMENT

A significant part of long-‐term viability is to clearly define the “product” of outdoor ministry and deliver the product with excellence. Long-‐term viability will be possible ONLY with long-‐term vitality and relevance of the ministry to campers, parents, churches and leaders. A task force of the Board worked with the consultant to provide initial definition to the key outcomes of the summer camp program. Summer Camp – Four Outcomes Campers will claim and become their best self, claiming God’s call on their life. Camp will grow Christian leaders who: • Articulate Faith • Love & Accept Everyone • Serve Others • Trust God Early Elementary (K-‐3 grades) • Articulate Faith o God loves me, Jesus loves me • Accept Others o God loves you • Serve Others o God wants me to help others • Trust God o God hears my prayers / God listens to me Elementary (4-‐6 grades) • Articulate Faith o Where do I see God? God is… • Accept Others o God made us different and that’s good o I accept what is special in me and in others • Serve Others o I can make a difference, I can claim my power o Responsibility both locally and globally • Trust God o 24/7 God, God is always with me o Know and practice spiritual disciplines Middle School (6-‐8 grades) • Articulate Faith o See self in context of God’s story o Salvation – claim faith and claim to continue journey o Tell how they experienced God

200

• •

•

Accept Others o Claiming identity and supporting others as they claim their identity Serve Others o Seeing beyond self to connect faith and world -‐ take personal responsibility Trust God o God will speak to me o God still loves me – even in the questions asked

High School (9-‐12 grades) • Articulate Faith o Defining personal evangelism – applicable and appropriate • Love and Accept Others o Live in the Wesleyan middle with health ! Living with quadrilateral • Serve Others o Outside your comfort zone o Service as part of faithful life • Trust God o Identify, claim and use your gift – hearing calling of life

In support of United Methodist Churches, Dakotas Camps will engage in partnership with local churches. Camp will train and equip adult leaders to be in ministry with children and youth • Faith development with summer leaders (both paid and volunteer) Summer 2015: Fall 2015: Summer 2016:

Program shaped to leadership outcomes Measure outcomes to create baseline Partner with initial churches to gather feedback before and after camp experience – shape details of program and curriculum for 2016 Fully integrated and unified curriculum and direction

Measuring Outcomes Defining outcomes is critical to developing excellent ministry, but measuring the effectiveness of the ministry allows for continuing growth. The four outcomes will be measured in these ways: 1. Daily review of God moments in small groups, ie. family group/cabins a. Tell stories of the day, asking campers to share how they experienced God today

201

b. Counselors/staff later will capture and tally the number of stories in each category (note these also could be self recognized moments/stories in four categories asking campers to identify) i. Articulate Faith ii. Love and Accept Everyone iii. Serve Others iv. Trust God 2. System Measurables a. The outdoor ministry area will track statistics of participants in these areas i. Summer camp retention ii. CIT registration iii. Number of campers each summer who become staff members iv. Number of churches sending campers v. Number of churches participating in outcome measurement vi. Number of campers each summer AND total user days vii. Total number of retreat groups AND total retreat user days 1. Dakotas Camp sponsored, United Methodist Churches retreats, other faith community retreats viii. Campers, CIT’s and volunteer staff who enter into vocational ministry/ordination 3. Post camp/event surveys sent electronically to: a. Campers and parents b. Deans and counselors c. Pastor, church leaders Additional Notes: Leaders will capture camp stories on video and record stories as possible. In the future, data may be collected for a pre/post survey on site for campers and parents to be completed at kiosks.

Scriptures The following scriptures have been lifted up as initial texts and stories that illuminate the outcomes to be measured. As leaders continue to live into the outcomes and write curriculum, these lists will be added to and refined.

KEY MESSAGES

While defining outcomes is exciting, hopeful and key for relevance in today’s consumer society, it also challenges the normal ways summer camp has been operating for many years. Alignment creates possibilities of excellence and growth in ministry, but also can constrict programs or leaders who are not in alignment with the proposed outcomes. The following are some key messages as staff and board leaders seek to communicate the newly articulated outcomes of camp and retreat ministry. History of life-‐changing ministry • From the beginning of camp and retreat ministry in the Dakotas conference (and its predecessor bodies), the experiences of summer camp have been life-‐ changing for participants and leaders. Participants have encountered God and claimed faith. Likewise, campers and camp leaders have heard and responded to God’s call on their life to enter a life of service. Numerous lay and clergy leaders trace their calling to a life a Christian service back to time spent at summer camp. Mission and purpose is to support local church • Outdoor ministry does not happen in a vacuum of the faith experience, but as a part of the faith formation for a young person that is nurtured day by day in the local church. Alignment with Conference initiatives – leadership development • As camp leaders seek to best serve the local church as a part of the ministry provided by the Dakotas Conference, they have been seeking to answer the question, “how do camps help all ages claim and become their best self, claiming God’s call on their life?” Focus the work camps are already doing • Growing Christian leaders is an exciting affirmation of the work camps have already been doing. Teaching young people, from children to young adults, how to follow Jesus and claim God’s call on their life is what camps do best! Consumer culture – define outcomes and relevance • In today’s culture, parents, churches and leaders are seeking to invest wisely in limited resources of time and funding. Many areas are seeking the time and investment in children and youth. Organizations, including the church, has to be clear about what is provided AND be able measure effectiveness. Summer Camp – four outcomes • Camp will grow Christian leaders who: o Articulate faith o Love and accept everyone o Serve others

205

o Trust God Recognize alignment also means change • Focusing on four outcomes creates many opportunities, but also will require a shift of understanding for staff (paid and volunteers), parents, campers and church leaders. Summer 2015 • This summer will be an initial launch of teaching, measuring and partnering with churches around the four outcomes. Summer camp leaders will be introduced to the outcomes and a small number will begin to focus the program toward fulfilling these outcomes. A small number of churches, 10-‐15, will partner with Dakotas camps to measure outcomes among their campers. Measuring outcomes in 2015 will include gathering stories and anecdotal evidence, post camp surveys with campers, parents and pastors and systemic reporting of measurements such as camper retention, attendance, etc. Next Steps • The staff and Board of Camps will continue to develop the four outcomes, providing definition, developing curriculum, training, and further methods of measurement. Summer 2016 fully integrated • The plan is for all Dakotas Camp programs for the summer of 2016 to be aligned with these outcomes and ministry focus. Connect with and help shape path forward • While there are still details to be defined, the board and staff are excited with the holy work that has begun! There is much to do seeking to live into a clear calling. We invite your feedback, insights and prayers.

Conference Council on Youth Ministry Change is the only thing that is constant. The Dakotas Conference Council on Youth Ministry (CCYM) has been constantly re-evaluating and making changes to the youth ministry program. •

Our efforts to create a brand new event resulted in 100 participants at the first ever Dak Youth event in Brookings in July of 2014. Though a successful event in faith development, our hope of 300 participants left our budget in the red for the first time in a decade. We have since evaluated that event, analyzed our budget and have shifted that event to a different location and time during the year. Training, supporting and equipping the paid and volunteer youth workers across our conference is a recognized and valuable part of our ministry. o Youthworker Academy – A training event was held May 1-3 at Lake Poinsett with Andrew Root presenting on Relationships: The Care and Discipleship of Youth CCYM election process continues to be tweaked as our CCYM schedule changes. Sanctuary Senior High Retreat was held at Storm Mountain and Wesley Acres with a theme focused on dealing with stress and how faith can assist and help us focus on priorities. Winter Connection was expanded to include Middle School students. Winter Connection is an overnight event held simultaneously at 3 regional locations (this year: First UMC in Rapid City, Bismarck McCabe UMC, and Sioux Falls First UMC). Fun, fellowship, prayer stations, mission projects and worship were the body of this event in 2015. Leadership Training Camp continues to be a place in which the youth leaders elected to the CCYM practice leadership. Staffed by CCYM adults and other conference leaders, the youth in attendance select classes to attend daily, learn about, plan, and lead worship, enjoy fun and fellowship, build lasting friendships and study biblical themes each day in large and small groups. We continue to promote our events through the Mondays at Dakotas Email list, paper mailings and continual revisions and additions to our website: www.dakyouth.com The CCYM continues to be an important area in which young leaders discern a call to the ordained ministry. As leaders, we take this responsibility seriously, as well as the responsibility to educate and nurture leaders for the future of the church. As we continue to work more closely with the Board of Ordained Ministry, we hope to strengthen their process of encouraging and connecting with those discerning a call into ministry, both as laypersons and as clergy.

Rev. Kris Mutzenberger, Conference Youth Coordinator

Laity Report Greetings to the laity of the Dakotas Conference! We are seeing the fruits of our hard work. Worship attendance has increased once again, which reflects greatly upon the intentional leadership of the laity! Our work in the mission field continues to grow. From the Bakken to the Dominican Republic to Haiti and Haiti Solar Ovens to Imagine No Malaria to The Marketplace to our support of a wide variety of local mission efforts, we in the Dakotas Conference are leading the way through our efforts. Speaking of mission work, we congratulate John Lushbough of Vermillion UMC on receiving the inaugural McGovern South Dakota Hunger Ambassador Award. Lushbough is the founder and coordinator of the Vermillion Welcome Table, a free weekly meal for the underprivileged, and heads the Vermillion Weekend Backpack Program. We continue to make significant strives forward in the area of Leadership Development. In addition to the Basic and Advanced Lay Servant courses held throughout the Conference, several new things are being piloted. The Basic course and Module 1 of the Certified Lay Minister (CLM) have been combined into a Ministry Discernment Retreat, and initial reports indicate this has been very successful. A pilot course for CLM credentialing is going on at the time of this writing involving coursework over 3 weekends instead of the week-long in-house course. Finally, scheduling for future Lay Servant Ministry (LSM) courses has been moved to the Conference level, and we already have the 2015-16 sites and courses set up! As always, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the laity of the Dakotas Conference and ask for your prayers as we continue to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Blaine Wilson, Conference Lay Leader, Dakotas UMC

Young Adult and Campus Ministries

208

Young Adult and Campus Ministries continues to work to support the local ministries in churches and on campus that help to create younger Missional Leaders. The Link reviewed and accepted eight grant applications for ministries involved with Young Adults and Campuses. Those grants include great ministry: • Beresford Zion UMC is creating space for young adults and especially young parents to fill leadership roles in the new AWANA program. This has continued with an increase of young people attending and leading. • United Campus Ministries (UMC) at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is doing ministry through Bible studies and weekly meals. The UMC team has developed projects to spread God’s love through a “Spread the Love” campaign and through service projects in Rapid City. • Embrace Church launched a 3rd campus at Sioux Falls Seminary called the Summit Ave Campus. Embrace is working to spread God’s love through worship and small groups. • The Journey, a new service from Wesley UMC in Edgeley, ND meets every other week and works to develop leaders through worship. • The Bridge, a ministry of Faith UMC on the campus of NDSU, is reaching out in ministry through Bible Study and leadership development in its core team. • 1st underground is a ministry of First UMC in Sioux Falls, SD. 1st underground is an offsite worship and bible study experience calling forth young leaders through worship and small group leadership. • Spearfish UMC and Rapid City South Maple also received grants. The Missional Leaders link and the Young Adult and Campus Ministry team is working to ensure that the grants continue to be used in fruitful and powerful ways. The Young Adult and Campus Ministry Team are also working with the Board of Ordained Ministry to help connect the young adult lay members to Annual Conference and also those who are candidates for ministry. Rev. Sara McManus, Young Adult and Campus Ministries

Equipping Missional Congregations Link The second pathway in our Journey Toward Vitality is Equipping Missional Congregations. As a part of this pathway, we are working toward the outcomes of: • Strengthening existing congregations by having 10-20 congregations each year assessed and taking the next steps toward vitality. • Creating "New places for new people" (i.e. new churches, worship services, outreach ministries, etc.). • Working with the Missional Leaders Link to provide effective leadership for new ministries and/or new life cycles of ministry. In the area of Strengthening Existing Congregations, the Missional Church Consultation Initiative (MCCI) continues to be one of our key strategies as five churches (Fargo 1st, SF 1st, Pierre 1st, Huron 1st and Spearfish) have completed their monthly group coaching and consultation weekends and are engaged in their prescriptions with the help of additional coaches. We are seeing this process bear fruit as these pastors feel better equipped to lead their churches to do ministry in the 21 st Century and as congregations are re-inspired to make disciples. In the past year, five churches were invited to be a part of the second cohort— Grand Forks Wesley, Valley City Epworth, Watertown First UMC, Madison, and Rapid City First UMC. We are finalizing our plans for Journey Renewal, a similar process in which the conference will partner with smaller churches to launch a new life cycle. Through honest self-assessment, leadership training of clergy and laity, and coaching guidance we hope to see these smaller churches that may be “stuck”, starting to decline, or seeing signs of life but in need of direction become vital ministry centers. We hope to launch a pilot cohort this fall. As a way of sharing a key piece of the MCCI experience, two Breakthrough Prayer Workshops were offered this January—in Mitchell and in Jamestown. Over 100 people were equipped in leading Breakthrough Prayer initiatives in their local churches as the first and most important step in increasing vitality. Our efforts to create “New Places for New People” continue to gain momentum. In the past year, Embrace launched an additional campus (Summit Ave.) located on the campus of Sioux Falls Seminary. In addition to being an additional worship site, the Summit Ave campus is intentionally focusing on reaching out and discipling student from Augustana and USF. We will launch two more new churches in the Dakotas conference this summer. The first will be in Watford City to partner with the excellent work the Konsors are doing. The second will be in Sioux Falls—a campus of Grace Church (a multi-site UMC in Florida) that will have recovery ministry as a key component.

Our new churches around the conference continue to grow and change. Fusion (Mitchell) continues to grow in attendance and commitment as they become a vital part of the Mitchell and Dakota Wesleyan communities. After five months in a temporary location, Encounter (Watertown Cornerstone) has moved into a permanent site and is excited to see what God will do through this 24-7 location. The Gathering (Fargo) has moved to a bi-vocational model, with Cody Schuler serving as pastor as well as working as a program coordinator with the Fargo-Moorhead Coalition for the Homeless, as a means for better financial sustainability as they reach the challenging demographic of the “nones” and “dones”. The Embrace-Tea campus recently celebrated their 1st “birthday” and continues to attract people from the surrounding area and seeks to connect them with a church and with small discipling groups. As we seek to provide effective leadership for new as well as existing churches, we held a Church Planter Assessment Workshop in March. A group of 12 current clergy and laity participated in a time of self-discovery, assessment and learning as a means of identifying leaders for new churches. However, the fruit of this gathering was not only the identification of potential planters but also an opportunity for further clarity and discernment of gifts and callings that will help these leaders to be more effective in whatever ministry setting they serve. Probably the biggest effort toward furthering the work of Equipping Missional Congregations is the upcoming launch of our capital campaign for congregational development, “Thrive—Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow.” As the Holy Spirit moves through the Dakotas Conference, we look expectantly to the ways in which God will not only work through the generosity of individuals and churches but also the ways in which God will use this entire initiative to inspire each of us and our churches to Thrive as world-transforming disciples of Jesus Christ.

Extending Missional Impact Link This year the Missional Impact Link worked on our budget so that money can be released for local church missions. Therefore, we announce that the amount of $22,000 is available to Dakotas United Methodist Churches and agencies. The purpose of these grants is to spark interest in, success in and opportunity for increased missional impact in communities. The application process is available on the Conference website. Peace and Justice ministries are part of the Missional Impact Link. We are greatly aware of the need for education Conference-wide as to what and why justice ministries are needed. Peace and Justice grants are available above and beyond the Missional Impact Grants previously mentioned. Submitted by Rev. Lou Whitmer, Chair

Bakken Oil Rush Ministry—Watford City The Bakken Oil Rush Ministry in Watford City continues to reach out to many that are coming to western North Dakota because of the oil industry. Here is a summary of activity for this past year. Families served: 586 different families Items given away 17,058 (which includes the recent 2 day giveaway) (see attached sheet for coat totals etc.) •

Small groups: Serve them supper, have a time of visiting and fellowship and then share a devotional designed to help folks deal with issues that arise from living in the Bakken. Topics include, Maintaining hope in tough times, How long do you want to live and how do you want to live, God's grace is available to every one as a free gift, You are never alone...even when you may think you are. Attendance so far has been between 10 and 12.

•

Fellowship events: Our goal in the fellowship events is to give people a sense of family and help them get to know us as well as to make new friends. We like to think that we foster the following statement: Helping people make Watford City home!

Mobile Thrift Store: We use the Mobile Thrift Center to meet peoples’ immediate needs and begin relationship. We also host larger giveaways in the First Presbyterian fellowship hall to help folks with clothing and other items that we cannot stock in a 29-foot camper. We've held 8 to 10 of these events. It gives people a opportunity to shop in a well stocked venue and gives us more time to visit with people and hear their story. Connecting people: We sometimes connect people in need with donors for beds or other furniture. We also directed people to jobs or housing.

We also look for opportunities to pray with people, give out Bibles and devotional materials and hand out prayer need cards for those reluctant to share their needs with us face to face. Submitted by Jim and Kathie Konsor

Bakken Oil Rush Ministry—Out in Faith Out in Faith is a ministry of Faith United Methodist Church in Williston, ND. Assistance is offered to God's children to meet the basic needs of life. Katie Peterson, Deaconess, Church and Community Worker with the General Board of Discipleship guides the ministry. The major activities of Out in Faith are: G.I.F.T.—God in Faith Tonight a weekly meal and worship service where people come to enjoy fellowship and food. G.I.F.T. is a ministry of Faith UMC in Williston and Out in Faith. Bibles, coats, hats, gloves and other items are also distributed. There are an average of 40-50 people who attend each week. Community visits and outreach—Two to three times each week visits are made to camper villages, city parks and other places where homeless people may be found. An invitation is extended to come to G.I.F.T. and also to come over to the church for assistance with documentation, housing applications, job applications, clothing and household items.

Disaster Response The Minot flood home reconstruction work was completed in October 2014. The city of Minot continued to purchase both flood damaged homes and homes affected by the flood that had been rebuilt or refurbished. These homes were located in the footprint of the new flood protection system. We have continued assisting the Minot community in the salvaging of home materials and appliances that could be reclaimed and provided to homeowners who remain in need of assistance. Some of these homes had all new appliances, cupboards, bathroom fixtures and doors. This ministry allows for another level of disaster ministry. We remain the prime contractor for this service. Since closing out the flood construction and VIM teams in October 2014, we have served Minot by reviewing 40 homes for salvaged items/materials. In addition, the work on the Conference Disaster Warehouse has continued. All that remains are the electrical infrastructure in the 40’ X 80’ steel building located on the Spirit Lake Ministry Center. This is a joint UMCOR and Dakotas Conference project that will support the storage and accountability for trailers and equipment that the disaster ministry has accumulated in the past three years. Additionally, it will provide a depot maintenance facility to maximize the life of over $100,000 of prime disaster equipment. I am currently completing an inventory of this equipment. Finally, both the conference and UMCOR have supported the facilities and operation of the Lords Cupboard food pantry and the Welcome Table. This ministry has provided vital food services to those who are affected by poverty. During this period I assisted in the repurposing of the original $200,000 UMCOR grant to allow the Lords Cupboard to lease a location for its operation for the next six years. I cannot say enough about the direct support received from UMCOR since the onset of the 2011 flood in Minot. Submitted by Bob Lower

Spirit Lake Ministry / Children of the Harvest The Children of the Harvest (COH) funds the food pantry at the Spirit Lake Ministry Center. The Spirit Lake Ministry Center food pantry operates all year and has regular set hours and acts as an emergency source of food. The food pantry distributes in excess

of $10,000 in food per year and met the needs of more than 600 people per month last year on and around the Spirit Lake Reservation. The food pantry depends on the funds from the Spirit Lake Ministry Center, donations from churches and individuals, and food drive items. Recipients of the food pantry receive more than just physical sustenance. They are given the opportunity to leave prayer requests and fellowship with the missionaries. This helps grow the faith community of The United Methodist Church on the reservation. Our goal for 2015 is to reach an additional 20 families each month. We have made contact with Tribal Social Services, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and the Dakota Prairie Community Action Organization for referrals for persons in need. The Children of the Harvest provided Shoebox Christmas Gifts for 6,535 children in poverty and need in 2014. The Shoebox Gifts were distributed to six reservations in the Dakotas Conference and the Red Lake Reservation in MN. The gifts provide the children with the story of Jesus’ birth, warm hats, scarves, mittens/gloves and fun toys. The gifts share the love of Jesus Christ and plant seeds of faith with the children who receive them. Shoebox Christmas gifts are donated by churches from all over the country and within the Dakotas Conference. Some churches and individuals donate funds to help with the purchase of Shoebox “filler” and to provide for the printing costs of the story of Jesus birth. The program is outlined in emails, on Facebook, meetings, speaking engagements and the Mondays in the Dakotas. Children of the Harvest provides spiritual follow-up with the children. Last year the program costs exceeded $3200.00. The Community Children’s Fund provided emergency clothing and temporary housing for 63 children affected by a life-changing events. The Community Children’s Fund was used to purchase winter coats, hats, gloves, blankets, clothing, toys and other items lost in fires or any other major event that occurs in the child’s life. We take items from the food pantry/clothing closet when available, but on occasion must purchase these types of items. The program depends on funds from the Spirit Lake Ministry Center, churches and individuals to help defray the cost of these items. Last year we spent in excess of $3,000. Sidewalk Sunday School provided $500.00 grants to 10 Dakotas Conference churches. The churches used the funds to purchase material and snacks for their community children’s outreach Vacation Bible School program. The Sidewalk Sunday School program also provides the children of the Spirit Lake Reservation the opportunity to participate in a fast-paced Vacation Bible School program. In 2014, the trailer visited 5 different local communities on the reservation and shared the love of Jesus Christ with more than 300 children each week during a 10-week period. We were able to begin and reinforce basic spiritual learning to more than 1,000 children on the reservation. The success of this program can be seen in the interaction with the missionaries outside the program boundaries. The children see us in their local schools, on their playgrounds and in public areas on the reservation, greet us and ask questions about the program and some of the older children seek spiritual advice. This program is a tremendous success and will continue to be a part of the Sidewalk Sunday School program in the upcoming years. The Spirit Lake Ministry Center hosted more than 450 Volunteers in Mission in 2014. The volunteers from across the country built 10 wheel-chair ramps, 2 decks, roofed 5 houses, painted 2 houses, rehabbed 7 houses and provided spiritual fellowship to untold numbers of local residents. The focus of our teams is to build. We build relationships that are meant to last a lifetime. We are building a faith community that allows the local residents to regain trust in the church and to bridge the gap of cultural differences. We focus not of the difference, but on the similarities of our cultures. Those being our faith and trust in God. The Spirit Lake Ministry Center provides a place for children and adults alike to come and feel comfortable. We sponsored the annual Culture Camp, the Equine Diversion Program, Family Services Retreat and the Wellness Ride. These four programs brought more than 350 children and adults to the Ministry Center. We hosted a back-to-school bash for the children on the reservation. This free carnival had more than 25 youth and adult sponsors and 300 local children and their parents attend. It was a major success. The programs at the Spirit Lake Ministry Center continue to grow and are developing a faith community that will one day become a congregation. The Spirit Lake Ministry Center began a monthly hot meal program in December with 67 adults and children in attendance. We also hosted a Pizza and Movie night with 30 children watching a movie and eating Pizza. These programs will continue on into 2015 with a new Bible Study, Conversions of Faith, beginning in January. Submitted by Mike and Libby Flowers

Solar Oven Partners 2014 proved to be a productive year for Solar Oven Partners (SOP). We extend our gratitude to individuals and churches for their overwhelming support of our mission. Your endorsement fuels the excitement that drives our volunteers to continue this lifesaving work among impoverished and underserved families.

212

Since the mission’s beginning in 2000, nearly 9,500 solar ovens have been distributed in cities and remote villages across Haiti from Port-au-Prince to Les Cayes. It has long been our desire to gather information that would reveal the impact these ovens have had not only on individual families, but on the environment, as well. In July, for the third year in a row, a Survey Team of 4 individuals, funded by a grant from the Cora Foundation, traveled with SOP Director Rick Jost and our Haitian staff to finish their goal of interviewing another 300 solar oven cooks, for a grand total of 917 interviews since 2012. Reaching nearly 10% of our solar cooks, they gathered data that proved to be very exciting news indeed. The survey data reveals that women use their solar ovens 50% of the time when preparing meals for their families. This translates into a 50% reduction in charcoal demand and use, as well as a 50% reduction in the carbon footprint per each solar oven user! Solar cooks are using their ovens to pasteurize water or milk for their families nearly 3 times each week, protecting them from deadly pathogens. On average, Haitian women cook for a family of 5, however, it is not uncommon for one solar cooked meal to feed up to 10-12 individuals that often include extended family members and friends. Money saved from purchasing expensive charcoal is going for more nutritious meals, medical care and sending children to school. And some ambitious women are starting their own enterprises selling baked goods from their solar ovens at the market to augment family income. The data demonstrates that solar ovens are making a significant difference in the lives of thousands of Haitian families and that they are definitely impacting/reducing charcoal use and subsequent air pollution. Amen! Following a successful year of fundraising to secure the equivalent of one year’s salary and benefits, Solar Oven Partners’ Advisory Board interviewed and hired a new Associate Director to assist with fundraising, grant writing and administrative duties. Catherine Hoss joined our team in September and has hit the road running with fundraising campaigns, grant writing and getting a handle on finances and administrative responsibilities. Another highlight in 2014 was the engagement of volunteers in a third workshop in Raymond, SD for the production of French bread pans. Gene and Wanda Bethke first experimented with making the bread pans in 2012 and those pans welcomed enthusiastically by our solar oven students. Their workshop, located on Main Street in Raymond, now produces the pans that are standard accessories to all of our solar oven kits. Along with Dave and Renae Silbernagel’s workshop in Moffit, ND that produces the aluminum reflectors, the addition of this specialized workshop in Raymond greatly improves overall efficiency and production and streamlines the final process of manufacturing and packaging the remaining oven components at the Volga workshop. With 3 workshops in production, our Associate Director compiled the data around the number of our amazing volunteers that make this mission possible. There are more than 304 different individuals who volunteer their time in the many and varied aspects of getting a shipping container of 1150 ovens ready for Haiti. In 2014, volunteers logged 4,900 hours towards the production of nearly 1,750 solar ovens. Using the 2014 National Volunteer Hour Value of $22.55, this translates into $110,495.00 in labor savings towards the value of these ovens! This mission could not exist without our many many partners who volunteer their time, talents and expertise in Christian service. We extend our deepest gratitude to all across the Conference and beyond who make this mission happen! In addition to the Survey Team that traveled to Haiti in July, a second team followed on its heels to assist with erecting a shelter to build ovens under, as well as getting more than 100 built for distribution. Then in November, a third team traveled to an orphanage outside of Les Cayes where they built and helped distribute 248 ovens to eager trained students. Our mission to empower families with both the knowledge and the tools to fight hunger and poverty continues through the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the many loving souls who come together to make it possible. In Mission Together, Catherine Hoss, Associate Director

Tree of Life Ministry Tree of Life is a Relief Agency, serving several of the poorest counties in the United States in Mission, S.D. With 80% unemployment, the services provided through this extension ministry are much needed. After 10 years, Rev. Russell Masartis is stepping down as Executive Director, but work will continue under new leadership. Our ministries include: * Building a bridge of respect and compassion between cultures. Tree of Life has made great strides in developing respect and understanding between cultures, and breaking down racial prejudice and distrust. This is accomplished by providing cultural presents to volunteers, working together with tribal agencies, and being involved in meeting daily needs.

213

* Feeding the Hungry. Current census data shows that over 50% of the Lakota people live under the poverty level, and cannot afford basic necessities. Tree of Life distributes over 1,500,000 pounds of groceries each year, and provides about 52,000 free meals. One of the teachers at the local school told us that when families cannot drive to the food pantry at “The Tree” then the children have to skip meals because of the lack of groceries. The “Warm Welcome” food pantry serves over 200 families a day, four days a week. * Clothing those without the means to purchase new. With an annual average household income of under $8,000, and with many households numbering 10 or more family members living there, seldom can these families afford decent clothing. New and used clothing are provided in a “shopping experience” to avoid people having to beg for necessities. Tree of Life provides a “Thrift Shop Boutique” as well as sending free clothing to the leaders of each Rosebud community. * Providing safe, comfortable homes for impoverished families. The need is so great that a family may have to have their name on a waiting list wait for 5 years before tribal housing can make general repairs to a home. Tree of Life makes free repairs to about 50 dwellings and community buildings each year. There are families that have not had water in their homes for years, and use a garden hose to bring in water from a neighbor. Building materials are expensive, and gifts and grants are a necessity to accomplish this ministry. * Education One of the important tasks undertaken by Tree of Life is to show Native Americans what Christians are really like. Teams working together cheerfully, showing Christ-like compassion, and offering respect and love to all people demonstrate our witness. Throughout the year, it is our task to educate the many volunteers that come to offer their services as 1week missionaries. We believe that education and experience are the best ways to build respect and unity, destroy prejudice and distrust, and offer a base for the message of Jesus Christ.

Generating Missional Resources Link Our purpose is ensure that adequate resources are available for the mission of equipping local churches to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. In 2014, the Generating Missional Resources Link was changed so that it now only meets at the call of the Bishop. We will be called to meet when a situation of such complexity and magnitude needs special attention (e.g. changing the apportionment formula). Since this change, the link has not been called to meet.

Builder’s Club As of January 2015, the Builders’ Club has moved under the umbrella of the Dakotas United Methodist Foundation. Together with the Dakotas Conference Appointed Cabinet, the Foundation will issue 4 calls per year to build new or strengthen current faith communities across the Dakotas in continued efforts make new disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Recently the Builders Club has supported the following projects: 2014-1 Spirit Lake Ministries $9,500.00 2014-2 Getysburg UMC $10,264.00 2014-3 Tree of Life Ministries $13,018.50 2014-4 Mobridge UMC $10,363.00 2015-1 Gayville-Volin UMC $12,512.83 2015-2 Kenemere UMC Awarded July 2015 For more information about future Builders’ Club calls, please e-mail the Foundation at info@dakotasumf.org.

Conference Council on Finance and Administration

The CCFA continues to be blessed with our Director of Finance, Jeff Pospisil assisted by JoAnn Schlimgen. Jeff continues to stay in touch with local congregations to help them understand our budgets, missions and apportionments as well as training for new treasurers. Apportionments receipts from last year were better than expected after an end-of-year influx of receipts. Our churches for apportionments gave $3,821,662. This is the highest amount of apportionments ever given by our churches to support the work of the Dakotas Conference and General Church. Of that amount $939,893 was given after November 30th. Our primary work is the budget. Now that we have completed our first full year with the new apportionment method, we have a benchmark to use for formulating the budget. Since we have affectively frozen the budget over the past few years and as we now have an idea of receipts from the new method, we decided on a budget increase of 2.5% this year which is reflected in the proposed budget. General Conference apportionments paid is at 90%. Audit Report statement will be available in the 2015 Journal Bob Duemig, Chair Conference Council on Finance and Administration

Dakotas United Methodist Foundation The Dakotas United Methodist Foundation continues to live out its mission of multiplying gifts for the Kingdom of God and to be faithful partners on the journey. This past year we have had a number of changes. Sheri Meister, Executive Director and Dulci Stewart, Administrative Assistant were both hired as new staff in August of 2014. At the end of December 2014, the total assets for the Foundation were $?$18, 503,761.82. A record amount! The Foundation grant programs continue to expand. The Ministry Development Grant deadline is August 1st and Bremer Family Mission Grants deadline is February 1st. For more grant information visit our website at dakotasumf.org. A word from our new Executive Director Sheri Meister: As I began my position as the new director of the Dakotas United Methodist Foundation, a new chapter of my life was about to begin. This opportunity came with a host of emotions - but excitement and faith rose to the top each time I thought about my upcoming responsibilities. It’s my faith in God and the presence of the Holy Spirit that gives me pleasure every morning as I begin my workday. Each day I see opportunities of how the Foundation is able to work together with clergy, laity, and the entire Conference staff to help our churches throughout the Conference become more vital. We are doing this in these ways: Developing Missional Leaders through seminary scholarships assisting clergy to implement a plan to grow continually in leadership and discipleship abilities; nurturing our young people through camping and leadership groups; Equipping Missional Congregations through Ministry Development Grants, which have assisted in equipping lay leaders to provide leadership and ministry in their local congregations, connected unchurched people with outreach programs, and provided electronic outreach to those unable to connect on a weekly basis; Extending Missional Impact by supporting Dakotas missions – Tree of Life, Spirit Lake Ministry, Hope Center, Open Door, Haiti Solar Oven, and Bakken Oil Rush Ministry; Generating Missional Resources through congregational stewardship training, endowment consultation, and investment support. I could not be more excited to continue my ministry with the Foundation as we build financial programs, help churches to invest wisely, be good stewards of God’s resources and continue our work of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Human Resources This past year found the Human Relations committee focused on updating and revising the Dakota’s Conference Employee Handbook.With the help of Cathy Druckrey, Jeff Pospisell, Rebecca Trefz, and Becky Holton the employee handbook was reviewed and revised to bring it into compliance with today’s workplace. The handbook is available on the conference website for downloading and review. The Human Relations committee continues to work with conference leadership to assist in the transition of employees as we adjust our structure to meet the needs of the conference. Barry Whipkey, Chairman

Board of Pensions Pensions Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. and South Dakota Annual Conference United Methodist Board of Pensions, Inc. The Dakotas Conference Board of Pensions (Board or BOP) administers the pension, health care and other benefit programs available to clergy and lay employees of United Methodist institutions (local churches, annual conference, and other UM related entities). The Board has adopted as our guide a purpose statement which reads: The purpose of the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church is to wisely provide pension and health care benefits for its clergy, lay employees and their families so that they can more freely equip the local church to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. (See Para. 639.1 in the 2012 Book of Discipline). Today, there is much uncertainty as to our nation and world’s economic situation. Also, much is still unknown as to the future of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and its implication for how health care benefits will be received. In the midst of these unknowns, the Dakotas Conference Board of Pensions with the guidance and support of the General Board of Pensions and Health Benefits and in partnership with the Dakotas Annual Conference, are committed to providing full funding for a pension plan, providing access to health benefits, and providing funding for all unfunded liabilities. In order to keep the promises of our pension plan, the Dakotas Board of Pensions in partnership with the Dakotas Annual Conference has undertaken and will continue a program of long-term planning. We are working with actuaries from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (GBOPHB) to set target balances for each of our obligations that will ensure a sufficient cash flow for present and future needs and will provide a “cushion” for apportionment stabilization. Benefit Programs administered by the Dakotas Conference Board of Pensions include: • Health Insurance: The Board currently provides health insurance for eligible active clergy, retired clergy under the age of 65, lay employees, their families and surviving spouses through the “HealthFlex” plan offered by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. The Board recommended effective 1/1/2013, providing retirees with access to coverage through One Exchange which will be facilitated by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. This was voted on and approved at Annual Conference June 2012. • Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP): CPP provides several benefits for eligible active clergy, retired clergy, their families and survivors. These include: o Disability benefits for clergy who are not able to perform full-time work as clergy for medical or behavioral health reasons. o Death benefits of lump-sum payments upon the death of a clergy, spouse, surviving spouse, or dependent child, a basic annuity rate for surviving spouses, an annual surviving child benefit for children under the age of 18, and an educational benefit for surviving children enrolled in school and under age 25. According to the General Board, “Clergy who retire under the 20 year rule are not eligible for CPP death benefits.” Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) The Dakotas Board of Pensions reviewed the latest CPP Adoption Agreement that was completed in 2008 after recommendation from our General Board Conference Liaison making the following revisions to a new CPP Adoption Agreement that went into effect 1/1/15. Full and Associate Member appointed to Sabbatical Leave are now required participation.

216

Full & Associate Members appointed to Attend School are now required participation for a maximum period of 3 years. Provisional Member has optional participation for maximum of 3 years. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Medical Leave has optional participation for a maximum of 1 year. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Personal or Family Leave has optional participation for maximum of 5 years. Full and Associate Member, Full Deacon appointed to Transitional Leave are required participation for maximum of 1 year. Provisional Member and Provisional Deacon has optional participation for maximum of 1 year. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Involuntary Leave has optional participation for maximum of 1 year. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Three Quarter Time are required participation. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointment Half time or less has optional participation. Deacon appointed to less than Quarter time has optional participation. Optional participation – Member is required to pay premium. Cost of the premium is 4.4% of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC) in the year of the appointment. Optional participation premiums will need to be paid by the 30th of each month. To enroll in this benefit the clergy person must contact the Conference Benefits Officer within 30 days of appointment. Effective 1/1/2013 for those who retire 1/1/13 or after (CPP) Participant (retiree, retiree’s spouse, retiree’s surviving spouse, retiree’s child) Death Benefits will change to a flat dollar amount rather than a percentage of the Denomination Average Compensation in the year of death as was calculated previously. Death benefits for Active Participant will remain the same. •

•

The Ministerial Reserve Pension Fund (Pre-1982 – MRPF): This “Defined Benefit” plan offers a benefit for each year of service before 1982. The annuity (Past Service) rate is adjusted according to the CAC (Conference Average Compensation). The annuity rate has a Disciplinary minimum of no less than 0.8% of the CAC. Ministerial Pension Plan (MPP): A defined contribution plan for service between January 1, 1982 and December 31, 2006. Effective January 1, 2007, no further contributions are paid into this plan. However, the Annual Conference is still responsible to guarantee the annuity amounts paid from the Ministerial Pension Plan. Clergy Retirement Security Program (CRSP): Approved by the 2012 General Conference, CRSP provides two levels of benefits for clergy effective 1/1/2014: a) a “Defined Benefit” (DB) component equal to 1.00% of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC) at retirement for each year of credited service (1.25% of credited service from 2007-2013) and b) a “Defined Contribution” (DC) equal to 2% of a clergy’s plan compensation deposited into an investment account controlled by the clergyperson. In addition, the Church/salary paying unit will match participant contributions to the United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP) up to 1% of compensation – and deposit those matching funds into participant CRSP DC accounts. Therefore, if a participant contributes at least 1% of compensation to UMPIP, his or her CRSP DC contributions will be 3% as was under the 2007-2013 CRSP plan. This plan change is effective January 1, 2014. Pension and Benefit Plans for Lay Employees: The Board of Pensions administers these plans; however, funding and enrollment for these plans are the responsibility of the employer (Annual Conference, UM related institution, or local church). United Methodist Personal Investment Plan (UMPIP): This voluntary plan is a 403(b) retirement savings and investment plan. If local churches, the annual conference, or UM related institutions are willing to become a plan sponsor, clergy and lay employees can make personal contributions to UMPIP without any “employer” contributions. The requirements to do this are very simple: complete the necessary application forms to be a PLAN SPONSOR, withhold an amount from the employee’s wages, and submit it to the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits monthly on the employee’s behalf. However, if clergy want to make sure they continue to receive the full 3% into their CRSP DC account they will need to participate and make personal contribution of a minimum 1% of their compensation into their UMPIP account. Care and Concern Fund: Care and Concern funds are available to the cabinet on a case-by-case basis. The case shall be presented by the Cabinet for approval by the Executive Committee of the Board of Pensions as to the need for these funds. A report shall be given to the full Board of Pensions on any cases. These funds shall be of a last resort after all other options have been explored including the use of cabinet emergency funds. The purpose of this fund is to assist: A) pastors exiting from ministry and B) caring for extreme health and well-being issues. At the end of the calendar year any leftover cabinet emergency funds shall be transferred to replenish the Care and Concern fund. To date, the Care and Concern Fund has assisted in one exit transition and one health and well-being issue.

FUNDING POLICIES Retiree Health Liability In 2012 the Board recommended providing retirees with access to coverage through One Exchange which will be facilitated by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. This decision also affects the Retiree Health Liability, which, as of December 31 2008, had an unfunded obligation of $17,434,158. Instead of paying a percent of the health insurance premiums for retirees, the Dakotas Conference will provide contributions to individual Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs). The annual total amount to

217

be provided will be determined annually by the Board. As a result of this change, we will no longer have an unfunded obligation for retiree health. This was voted on and approved at Annual Conference 2012. Lynch Trust Funds Policy The Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. is the entity within the Dakotas Conference structure that has “charge of the interests and work of providing for and contributing to the support, relief, assistance, and pensioning of clergy and their families, other church workers, and lay employees of the institutions, organizations, and agencies within” the Dakotas Annual Conference, (2012 Book of Discipline, ¶639). The Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. is the successor of the Conference Claimants Fund and therefore is the entity responsible for administering funds today that are dedicated to the same purpose as the “Conference Claimants Fund” of the Methodist Episcopal Church [and the Methodist Church] as outlined in the will of Frank Lynch. As stated in the [will and codicil of Frank and Georgia Lynch], their intention in making their gift to the Conference Claimants Fund was to provide for the benefit and welfare of “worn out preachers.” Therefore, it is the policy of the Dakotas Annual Conference, that when the principals of the Frank Lynch Trust and the Georgia Lynch Trust are distributed, the Dakotas Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits shall be the Conference entity to receive and exercise stewardship over both the principal and the existing and subsequent earnings of those Trusts. On receipt of the disbursed Trusts’ assets, the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. shall deposit those assets in its accounts held on its behalf by the General Board of Pension & Health Benefits of The United Methodist Church. At the time of receipt, the Treasurer of the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. in consultation with the Board’s Executive Committee shall determine where in the General Board accounts to deposit the assets. Subsequent movement and investment of the assets shall be made in accordance with thencurrent policies and practices of the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. On receipt of the assets, the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. as an endowment shall hold the initial principal amount. Release from endowment status of any funds shall be made only after consideration by and decision of the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. and consistently with the [will and codicil of Frank and Georgia Lynch]. All earnings generated by the Lynch Trusts Assets Endowment shall be allocated to the support, relief, assistance, and pensioning of clergy of the Dakotas Annual Conference as determined by decision of the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. Earnings generated by the Lynch Trusts Assets Endowment that are included in the annual budget recommendation of the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc. shall be expended consistently with the [will and codicil of Frank and Georgia Lynch] as recommended by the Board of Pensions of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, Inc., and adopted by the Dakotas Annual Conference. UPDATES TO THE CPP PLAN Due to updates in format and wording of CPP Adoption Agreements from the General Board the Dakotas Board of Pensions reviewed the latest CPP Adoption Agreement that was completed in 2008 and made the following revisions to a new CPP Adoption Agreement that went into effect 1/1/15. Associate Member on Sabbatical Leave are now required participation. Full & Associate Members appointed to Attend School are now required participation for a maximum period of 3 years. Provisional Member has optional participation for a maximum of 3 years. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Medical Leave has optional participation for a maximum of 1 year. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Personal or Family Leave has optional participation for a maximum of 5 years. Full and Associate Member, Full Deacon appointed to Transitional Leave are required participation for a maximum of 1 year. Provisional Member and Provisional Deacon has optional participation for a maximum of 1 year. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Involuntary Leave has optional participation for maximum of 1 year. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointed to Three Quarter Time are required participation. Full, Associate and Provisional Member appointment Half time or less has optional participation. Deacon appointed to less than Quarter time has optional participation. Optional participation – Member is required to pay premium. Cost of the premium is 4.4% of the Denominational Average Compensation (DAC) in the year of the appointment. UPDATES ON THE HEALTHFLEX PROGRAM: HealthFlex is offered to Annual Conferences through the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (GBOPHB). This plan is specifically designed for active and younger than age 65 retired United Methodist clergy and lay employees. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois is the health insurance carrier which has been contracted to administer the plan and process claims.

218

The HealthFlex insurance plan has strict guidelines regarding payment of premiums. In order for the Conference to have some perspective on the actual health insurance bill for our participants, the following numbers are the actual cost for each category of participant enrolled in HealthFlex for 2016: ACTIVES: Single $ 8,484 Participant plus one $16,092 Family $20,352 UPDATES ON ONE EXCHANGE FOR RETIREES: Because of the “roll-back” accounting set up originally in 2013 for participants by One Exchange it was difficult to calculate the percentage of our retirees that had all their premiums covered or had to pay no more than $100 for 2014. The “roll-back” accounting has been discontinued for 2015 going forward. The average HRA to a participant for 2015 was $2641. UPDATE ON THE RETIREE HEALTH LIABILITY FUNDING PLAN AND NEW INFORMATION ON A RETIREE HEALTH FUNDING PLAN /(HEALTH REIMBURSMENT ACCOUNTS) To fund the Health Reimbursement Account contributions, the Board will use funds from three sources. It is the Board of Pensions hope that we will be able to increase the funding amount each year for our retirees: 1. Funds that had been accumulated for the Retiree Health Liability. As of December 31, 2014, the amount of these funds was $1,239,890. 2. Earnings from the Frank Lynch Trust and Georgia Lynch Trust. In 2014, the trusts distributed a combined total of $38,564. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of these trusts was $13,403,307 3. On January 1, 2015, 3% will be added to the Active Participant Share in the "Salary Ratio" way that the Active Participant Share is currently calculated. The amount generated by the additional 3% will be directed to funding retiree health. Pension Payments and Rental/Housing Allowance This document has been updated for 2016 and can be found in the “Resolutions” section of this Journal. Leana Stunes, Conference Benefits Officer

Dakotas Annual Conference This funding plan incorporates, to the best of our understanding, the conference's obligations and funding of the benefits provided to clergy and laity, as noted below. It is understood by the signees that defined benefit plan liabilities (Pre-82, MPP and CRSPDB) continue until the last benefit is paid to participants and their surviving spouses irrespective of the funding level of the plan. That is, even if the assets in the plan are larger than the liabilities in the plan, the conference still has a liability (obligation) and potential future contribution due to the plan.

Developing Missional Leaders - $745,543 - One of our most important investments we make is in the next generation of leaders. Camping & Youth Ministries is one of the primary ways we have invested in the next generation. Close to $1.5 million is annually invested into these ministries for Storm Mountain, Lake Poinsett, Wesley Acres, our youth events and mission trips, and the new Leadership Incubator. Of this amount, $397,411 is provided through apportionments. - Providing churches with excellent Clergy Leadership is the responsibility of the Conference. Consider the affect a pastor has on the vitality of a church. When you have an excellent pastor, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to truly believe your churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best days are still to come. We will invest at least $100,000 in seminary scholarships and grants for Course of Study each year. The Board of Ordained Ministry will increase their investment in recruiting clergy and providing internship and training opportunities. Of the $250,000 invested in clergy leadership, $160,632 is provided through apportionments. - Another way we invest in the next generation of leaders is through College & HigherEducation Ministry. Approximately $160,000 will be invested this way in 2016. About half of the amount will go to Dakota Wesleyan University. The other half is given as grants to help churches engage in college ministry. Giving grants to churches instead of ecumenical groups was a big change that has seen some positive results. $141,500 of this amount is provided through apportionments. - The vast majority of our leaders are our Lay Leadership serving in various roles throughout the church. While much of the development of lay leadership happens in the church, the Conference provides training opportunities for laity. The Certified Lay Ministry program is seeing positive results. $27,850 is provided through apportionments. - The remaining $18,150 of this budget includes Safe & Sacred Places and the work of the Link and Nominations Committee. 225

Equipping Missional Congregations - $413,610 - For 2016, we plan to invest over $500,000 in establishing New Congregations. As populations have shifted, there are many people and communities in our territory that are â&#x20AC;&#x153;ripe for harvest,â&#x20AC;? but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough vital churches able to make disciples of Jesus Christ. New Congregations in Fargo, Mitchell, Watford City, Sioux Falls, Watertown are being established. Almost $300,000 of this amount will be invested directly in these new congregations. About $200,000 will be invested into the Thrive Campaign which will provide a way for individuals, churches, and other organizations to financially support this great work. We are also investing in training clergy who will be establishing these new congregations. $210,360 will be provided through apportionments. - Equipping Existing Congregations remains a high priority. The Missional Church Consultation Initiative is in its second year and seems to be successful. While this focuses on larger churches, Journey Renewal will be a similar program for smaller churches. Churches that are strongly convicted to become more and are accepted into these programs will go through a proven process to determine their next steps should be and excellent coaching in taking those next steps. Of the $201,100 invested in our existing congregations, $176,100 will be provided through apportionments. - The remaining $27,150 of this budget provides for the work of the Link and the Office of the Director of Ministries.

Extending Missional Impact - $1,173,019 - While our work in the Dakotas is our greatest responsibility, we also are committed to the global work of the United Methodist denomination. General Apportionments provide for missionaries around the world, the work of our bishops, Africa University, and a host of other ministries. $873,352 is our commitment and will be provided for through apportionments. - The Dakotas is known for the strength of our own mission work, especially in Native American communities and in Haiti. We invest close to $750,000 annually into these works through the Conference. It costs about $300,000 each to operate Haiti Solar Oven Project and Spirit Lake Ministry Center. We also provide grants to grants to ministries with a strong connection to the Dakotas Conference such as Tree of Life and Pierre Southeast Community Center. $296,667 of this is provided through apportionments. - The remaining $3,000 of this budget provides for the work of the Link.

Generating Missional Resources - $91,500 - While Equitable Compensation is mandated in the Book of Discipline, the Dakotas uses this program better than most conferences. We provide short-term assistance to either help churches grow through new clergy leadership or buy time while we discern if a change needs to be made in how clergy leadership is provided. $50,000 is provided through apportionments. - The remaining $41,500 provides for the work of the Council on Finance & Administration, the Finance Office, and insurance.

226

Support Services - $1,206,810 - We hope to have Conference Staff that is called and equipped for this great work. We have budgeted for 2016 staffing for Camping & Youth (2 positions), Laity Equipping (1/4), Clergy Leadership Development (2), Ministries Office (2), Finance Office (3), and Communications (2). In the future, we would like to add a position for Congregational Development. $827,810 is apportioned for this. - We have a large investment in properties that must be cared for by our Trustees. We plan on spending over $200,000 on insurance (liability, auto, and property), leadership housing, and the Conference Center. $160,000 will be provided through apportionments. - We have invested greatly in Communications. We are so spread out geographically, that this investment is considered necessary in order to efficiently and effectively equip churches/pastors/laity or allow leaders to more conveniently meet. A large part of this is our investment into DAVID which has now expanded into Minnesota. $80,000 will be provided through apportionments. - Holding the Annual Conference Session isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap but it has become an uplifting experience where important decisions are made and, more importantly, we become more united in our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ. It has been estimated that it costs $300,000 to pay for members to attend and to put everything together. $51,800 will be provided through apportionments. - Caring for our Historical Records is cared for through sharing an archivist with Dakota Wesleyan University and renting space in the McGovern Library. In addition, an updated history of the Dakotas Conference is being written and will be published in the near future. $42,700 will be provided through apportionments. - The remaining $44,500 provides for the work of the Common Table, Conference Secretary, Chancellors, Episcopacy Committee, and Human Resources Committee.

Cabinet - $734,518 - $567,518 will be provided through apportionments for the compensation, travel, and office expenses for our four District Superintendents. The cost is going up a little as we will no longer have DSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that are also serving a church. - $133,000 will be provided through apportionments for the Moving Fund and Introductions. This amount pays for almost all the cost of moving pastors to new appointments. - $25,000 will be provided through apportionments for the Contingency Fund. This fund is used by the Cabinet to help churches and pastors in difficult circumstances. - The remaining $9,000 provides for work of our Presiding Elders, Response Teams, and District Committees.

Pension & Insurance - $92,000 While providing excellent pension and health benefits does not directly increase the leadership ability of our pastors or the vitality of our churches, providing poor benefits would make it more difficult to recruit and retain excellent clergy. We also are committed to those that have served us faithfully for a lifetime and are now retired.

227

- We provide Health Benefits to approximately 120 active pastors and their families and over 200 retirees (pastors and spouses). This costs approximately $2.5 million. $80,000 is provided through apportionments. $1.4 million is paid through direct bills to the churches. $468,156 is paid through salary withholdings from the pastors. The remaining $578,732 is paid for through our Retiree Fund/Lynch Trust Fund. - We make Pension Contributions for the approximately 140 full- and part-time pastors. The cost is $1.27 million. $2,000 is provided through apportionments. $1,165,196 is paid through direct bills to the churches. The remaining amount comes from other sources. - The Benefits Office coordinates all this work. In addition, we provide medical and premium grants and put on benefit training events. This is expected to cost $160,000 which will be paid from endowment earnings. - $10,000 is provided by apportionments for the work of the Board of Pension.

Detailed Budget While the commentary will help most people understand the plan for matching financial resources to further the mission, the numbers also say a lot.

A Special Remembrance Bishop Rueben P. Job Bishop Rueben Job, 86, died peacefully, surrounded by his family, at his home in Brentwood, Tenn., on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2015, after a long struggle with heart disease. Funeral services were held on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015, at Belmont United Methodist Church in Nashville, Tenn.

Rueben Philip Job was born on Feb. 7, 1928, in Jamestown, N.D., the third son of Philip and Emma Job of Tappen, N.D. He grew up on the family farm and worked alongside his father until he received a “clear and urgent call” to ministry. In 1950, he entered Westmar College at Le Mars, Iowa, where he met Beverly Ellerbeck. They were married in 1953, and both graduated in 1954 from Westmar. Rueben was licensed to preach in 1952 by the Dakota Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church, under Bishop E.W. Praetorius. He served student pastorates at Beresford, S.D. (1953-1954), and Oak Park, Ill. (1956). He graduated from Evangelical Theological Seminary at Naperville, Ill., in 1957 and was advanced to the order of elder and received into the itineracy of the Dakota Conference under Bishop Harold R. Heininger. Rueben served EUB churches in North Dakota at Tuttle (19571960) and Minot (1960-1961), was a U.S. Air Force chaplain in Europe (1961-1962), and then was appointed to Fargo Calvary (1962-1965). He served on the staff of the General Board of Evangelism for the EUB Church (1965-1968) and on the general staff of the United Methodist Board of Evangelism and Discipleship (1968-1977), serving as editor of “Tidings.” In 1977 Rueben transferred to the South Dakota Conference (United Methodist) and was superintendent of the northern district at Huron (1977-1979). He then served as program area staff (1979-1983). In 1983 he became world editor of “The Upper Room.” At the 1984 North Central Jurisdictional Conference, Rueben was elected to the episcopacy and assigned to the Iowa Area. During his tenure there, he served on the General Commission on Communications, with a term as president in 1988. During the 1985-1988 quadrennium, he chaired the Hymnal Revision Committee, which produced a new hymnal that was adopted at General Conference in 1988. He retired in 1992.

248

Rueben was active in the development of spiritual enrichment programs and was the author or coauthor of numerous books including “A Wesleyan Spiritual Reader,” “Living Fully, Dying Well,” “Three Simple Rules: A Wesleyan Way of Living,” and “Finding Our Way: Love and Law in The United Methodist Church.” Since his retirement, he continued to write and lead retreats. He held honorary doctorates from Westmar College (1975), Dakota Wesleyan University (1980), Asbury Theological Seminary (1984), University of Dubuque Theological School (1989), Rust College (1991), Simpson College (1992), and Iowa Wesleyan College (1992). In 2010 his commitment to spirituality was recognized by Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill., with the creation of the Rueben P. Job Endowed Chair in Spiritual Formation, one of the first chairs in spiritual formation among Protestant seminaries. Rueben is survived by his wife, Beverly; four children: Deborah Job, Ann Job Fullerton, Philip Job, and David Job, and their spouses; seven grandchildren; and nieces, nephews, and cousins. Rueben Job was a rare example of the sainthood of all baptized Christians, many say. So rare, in fact, that if United Methodists venerated their own saints, several Dakotas clergy would petition for his canonization. Bishop Bruce Ough, of the Dakotas-Minnesota Episcopal Area, who worked with Job for many years, both in the Dakotas and Iowa, stated Job became Christ for many people. Ough said that Job’s legacy will be one of a “person who served as spiritual guide and mentor for at least two generations of lay servants and clergy of The United Methodist Church.” Ough, who shares with Job the denomination’s historical distinction as the first bishops produced in the Dakotas, said the Dakota spiritual geography no doubt deeply shaped Job’s spirituality. Upon his election to the episcopacy in 1984 Bishop Job wrote to the people of the Dakotas Conference, “I am a proud product of the Dakotas. You have nurtured, challenged, loved and led me in the direction of the Kingdom and towards God. You have provided a climate of acceptance where I could grow and develop. You have given me opportunity to serve with and among you. Through you, God has poured into my life rich and beautiful blessings.” *Rev. Duane Coates contributed to this tribute.

2015 Retirees Reverend Roy Caudill

God brought me out into a spacious place; The Lord rescued me because he delights in me. (Psalm 18:19) On March 8, 1959 I was baptized at the First Baptist Church of McKeesport, Pa. It was on that day I heard in my soul a call to ministry. I would delay responding for 28 years.

Entering military service in 1966 my first duty assignment was Ellsworth AFB, SD. That move resulted in a deep love for the Dakotas. Twenty years of experience in the field of aircraft maintenance taught many skills that would be adaptable to work in the church. Retiring in 1986 from the United States Air Force I located to Sioux Falls and joined Asbury UMC.

Reverend Lee Gale

Reverend Lee Gale completed his undergraduate work at Kansas State and his received his MDiv at North American Baptist Seminary.

Responding to the one who called me so many years before, I began theological studies at Sioux Falls Seminary in 1987, and began serving churches across the Dakotas in 1988. Over time I learned that my roots actually went deep into Methodism as grandparents had come from the Methodist Church in Reagantown, PA. Now, a new call is upon my life, and to live out that call it means moving to retired status while remaining in Sioux Falls where I currently reside. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank enough Lazann, my wife of 40 years, and daughters Shiloh and Shalaine for all the sacrifices they made so that I could fulfill my calling. I will always be grateful to the God who called me, Jesus who saved me, the Dakotas Conference that ordained me, and this great church that loved me. My status with the conference is changing, but the call to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world remains the same.

He has served the Dakotas Conference churches of Brothersfield, Ben Clare, Rowena and Sioux Falls Hilltop in South Dakota. In North Dakota, Gale served the churches of Mohall-Sherwood-Lansford, Hillsboro, Grafton Federated-Minto-St. Thomas.

Reverend Dennis Gelhaus Dennis Gelhaus graduated from St. Paul School of Theology in 1982.

the present. Gelhaus has been appointed in extension ministry to Gellhaus Carehaus 1996-present.

Reverend Gelhaus served the Dakotas Conference churches of Conde/ Andover parish 1982-84, Huron First, associate, 1984-89. He took a sabbatical in 1989-1990. Dennis become Director of youth ministries at First United Methodist Church, Ft. Collins, Colorado. 1989-93.

He built, designed and a partner in Angelhaus assisted living home for elderly in 2000. Gelhuas will continue to merge Angelhaus with the Carehaus for memory care in the Aberdeen area.

He created the Gellhaus Carehaus elderly care home in 1995 to

Married now 38 years to Robbie (Hollan) Gellhaus, who is finishing up her career as a lifelong educator â&#x20AC;&#x201C;currently serving as elementary principal in Aberdeen. Dennis and Robbie have two sons: Stephen and Aaron Gellhaus; both living in Austin, Texas presently.

Reverend Darwin Kopfmann (I Peter 1: 3-9) reminds us of Christ offering us a new birth, a living hope, and a time for rejoicing despite having to suffer grief throughout all kinds of trials. Those who know my story, know that calling involved a multiple death tragedy in our family, my surviving an illness at a young age which my doctor claimed should have taken my life, and, folks constantly referring to the fact that Christ had a hold on my life. That he did! Becoming a true follower began with a flash-of-light experience in a hospital room at the age 12. I wish to thank the people of Alpena and Huron South Dakota in particular for recognizing the Holy Spirit at work in my life. Placing me in positions of leadership within the UM Church as a young adult, they moved me from being a follower of Christ, to one called to lead others into becoming devoted followers. With a love for music, I thank my former employers for the 20 wonderful years of serving the public as a Musical Instrument Repair Technician. This was a time in which I was blessed with opportunities to witness as well as serve the public. God blessed me with a wonderful Christian wife, whose qualities I recognized immediately when she was a mere 15 yrs. old. Through years of mutually ministering together, it seemed

only appropriate that Donna’s tombstone (and mine one day) should read … “Partners in Ministry”. God has seen fit to bless me with yet another wonderful Christian wife and partner in ministry: Terri claimed my first wife as one of her dear friends. God is truly amazing! So many people touched our lives when my wife and I were Central District Mission Secretaries, on the Board of Global Ministries, and deans or counselors at Lehr, Storm Mountain, and Lake Poinsett Camps. My DWU and NABS experiences were rewarding times for me and my family. Starting college at age 38 led to my children wanting to see my report card of course. I’m not sure if they were surprised or challenged by how well a simple country boy can do when he puts his mind to it, and/or, when the cause of Christ is at the forefront of one’s purpose. Sorting through years of photos, the faces of dear people are showing up from Iroquois, Esmond and Carpenter SD. – Ashley and Forbes ND. – Clear Lake and Gary SD. – Streeter, Medina and Tappen ND. – Wall and Wasta SD. – as well as those from my Laity days. The product of a German immigrant from Germany’s Black Forest, I will be praying that God will continually direct our lives while fully enjoying life in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Reverend Mary Lee Lint Do you think people will accept a female hillbilly as a pastor?” That was the question I asked a significant person in my life. His answer was, “They will accept you. Just be yourself.” Since early childhood I knew I wanted to work in the church with church people, but I never dreamed it would be as a pastor.

I received my Bachelor of Music Education from Westminster Choir College and my Masters of Scacred Music from Northwestern University. The “sacred” part of that degree were courses at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. This is where I met Phil Lint. We were married in 1967 at my home Presbyterian Church in Beckley, West Virginia. I did not know much about the Dakotas, but since we moved to North Dakota in 1968 and then to South Dakota in 1998, I have met wonderful people and had new and interesting experiences.

then Mary college for a position to teach classes in church music. When I did not get that job, I realized God had something else in mind for me. I returned to G-ETS because I could finish my MDiv in 2 years because of the course I had already taken there. I came back to North Dakota and served the New Salem and Wilton Presbyterian churches for 8 years. We found it difficult when Phil had to attend the United Methodist Conference meetings and I had to go to the Presbyterian meetings. Then in 1998 we were appointed to churches in South Dakota. I served United Methodist churches at Onida and Agar, Olivet and Scotland, Wagner and Tyndall, before being appointed to Beach United Methodist in Howard in 2008. They have all been amazing churches and I learned and have wonderful friends in each congregation and community. It has been a privilege to serve as a colleague and member of the Dakotas Conference. It is now time for me to able to go with Phil. Thank you for the privilege and God bless y’all.

My call to ordained ministry came in a backward manner. In 1988, when our children, Peter, Jennifer and Paul were 16, 13, 10, I felt I should make more use of my degree, so I applied to

253

Reverend Kenrad Pederson My earliest memory of church is peeing on the Clark Upton Federated church in the 1950’s. Since my mother was Sunday School Superintendent, I was doubly condemned. Family lore has it that I answered the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” with “A singer like Elvis Presley or a minister like Reverend Harold Eastburn.” When I was a preschooler. I will happily share my rendition of “If You’re Looking for Trouble” to prove the validity of my subsequent choice. I have never seriously considered anything else. I have had the honor of being on staff at 17 United Methodist churches in Virginia, Washington, DC, and the Dakotas (and Minnesota) over the past 40 years. Doing my first five years of full-time ministry I had four bishops and five district superintendents! (I served two North Dakota and one Minnesota churches).

The major influences on my faith walk have been my parents, Bishop A. James Armstrong, Wesley Acres Camp, a mission trip to Mississippi in 1969, and many close friends. I have been encouraged in pursuing ministry by other United Methodist clergy and a variety of colleagues from other denominations. Throughout these 40 years I have treasured the opportunity to share Jesus Christ’s grace with those seeking to grow beyond a second-grade understanding of the Christian faith. I am thankful for those who have graciously received my ministry, and frustrated by those who believed they knew more than I did about faith. Many of my most memorable experiences have occurred at camp. I regret none of the time I have spent in local church ministry! My plans for the future are to discover what God still has in store for Mary and me.

Pastor Thomas Petersen I spent my early years growing up in the Sand Hills of Nebraska, where my grandmother was instrumental in my faith development. When I was in the 4th grade, my father decided to return to the US Navy where he had served during World War II, and we moved around the country frequently.

While living in San Pedro, CA I attended First Methodist Church, and I went to a church camp in the Angeles Forest and while there felt a ‘pull.’ After returning to town I worked with our youth pastor, Rev Jim Rush and between us we felt that I had been feeling a call to ministry. As a junior in high school, facing another military move – I decided it could wait – plus it scared me a little. To avoid the draft and also to avoid Viet Nam, I enlisted in the US Navy and served in Viet Nam (see how well my plan worked) where other things happened that convinced me that I was indeed too great a sinner to be involved in ministry. I stayed in the Navy and served 26 years, which involved several moves to many different areas. Along the line I married, had children and we were involved

254

in churches wherever we lived. Several pastors reinforced the feeling of a call on my life, but my military career seemed to take priority. After retiring from the Navy, we moved to South Dakota for a job and have stayed here since. I finally listened to that voice in my head and heart in the middle of the police parking area as I was getting off a patrol as a Deputy Sheriff. Seems strange to stand in the middle of a parking lot and look up and say “You want me to do what?” I’m sure the officers watching me thought I had lost it. That started the process of becoming a pastor. The journey has had some ups and downs, but has been a true blessing for me. We will be moving out of state (to Michigan). I do not know exactly what the future holds, but I know that part of it involves a home on a lake and I am sure that God will use me as needed for the glory of the king

2015 Jubilee Clergy I received a phone call in early 1964 by District Superintendent Rev. Harold Eastburn asking if I would be willing to serve as student pastor to the DesLacs United Methodist Church. I was to complete two courses for a “Local Preacher’s License” as well as a course dealing with communion and baptism. I agreed, “with fear and trembling” in spite of his promise that there would be support and encouragement! The members of that small congregation provided that foundation as I grew in my understanding of ministry. I continued to serve them for one year while attending Minot State (College) University, before serving student appointments to four small congregations in Makioti, Ryder, Banner and Douglas, ND and then in Velva and Benedict, ND. All those folks graciously accepted and supported this very “green” and inexperienced student while I finished my undergraduate degree at MSU. It was then off to St. Paul’s of Theology in Kansas City, MO. Since my wife and I were married between our junior and senior years in college, I had the support of a spouse (and soon a daughter) while in seminary, so we were able to work as a team managing the seminary bookstore and being building managers where we lived. I also served as an assistant at a large metropolitan church in KC and then several small congregations in northern Missouri.

I was ordained a deacon in the Tennessee Conference in 1965, and I received my M.Div. in 1966 from Vanderbilt Divinity School, Nashville, TN. I was invited by Dr. Bernard Curtis, a District Superintendent, to come to North Dakota to pastor the Hope, Page and Finley Charge. After a month or so I was told that I also had to go to the Romness Methodist Church in a rural area settled by Norwegians. I was the last pastor of Romness. Coming from tropical Malaysia, to the Dakotas was quite an adjustment!! After two years, the Board of Missions (as it was then known), accepted us as Missionary Candidates and sent us to the Missionary Orientation Center, Stony Point, NY for five months. We were then assigned to Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia for a term; and after furlough were assigned to Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia. We returned in 1976.

Going through the process of ordination was a time of growth and continued support from clergy and laity. My first parish following graduation and ordination was to Hillsboro United Parish UMC-UCC in Hillsboro, ND. This proved to be an exciting appointment as the two churches made the decision to become a stronger union by selling one building and working together to build an addition to the second building to an office and sanctuary. In the middle of this project I received a call from Bishop Armstrong asking me to join Dr. Robert Paul at McCabe United Methodist Church as his associate pastor. I served there for eight years before recognizing God’s purpose for me to investigate full-time chaplaincy. I felt called to enter a CPE program at Jamestown State Hospital which proved to be a unique experience as well as a difficult experience which allowed me to become board-certified as a Hospital Chaplain. I accepted a position in Butte, MT and was the first Protestant chaplain at St. James Hospital for one year before accepting the position of staff chaplain at Trinity Hospital in Minot, ND. I was privileged to be a part of a great team of chaplains for twenty-four years. I was also the pastor of visitation at Vincent United Methodist Church, Minot, ND. Since retiring I have been active in volunteering at the Lord’s Cupboard Food Pantry in Minot, rebuilt our flooded home and participate in musical groups. Life is good. God is good.

In 1968 the Uniting Conference between the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church took place in Dallas to become The United Methodist Church. It took a while for pastors and laity to use the new name! Often the name “Methodist” was used at meetings and folks had to be reminded that we were now United Methodists! Also, at this time the General Commission on Religion and Race was established. One of its functions was to monitor the General Church in terms of inclusiveness. The emphasis for the 1976 quadrennial was support for the Ethnic Minority Local Churches. This was extended for two more quadrennials. It helped the Black, Asian, Hispanic and Latino Churches to be expanded and strengthened.

I served various churches in North and South Dakota including a stint with the General Board of Global Ministries, as the Executive Director of Missionary Salary Support. All appointments were learning and enriching experiences. I have been blessed and continue to be blessed.

Ordination has meant different things at various stages of my life. Prior to ordination I discovered if I spoke up people reacted, “I thought only I felt that way.” Thus, it was in high school and Wesley Foundation at the University of Oklahoma where I represented liberal Christianity as separated from traditionalists and fundamentalists. While attending seminary at Iliff in Denver, Colorado, my roles in young adult fellowships witnessed being in the right place at the right time for increasing attendance. 1964 I sought Deacon ordination but was granted lay deacon since I had employment outside the church. 1965 after a second Iliff degree I came to South Dakota as an alien: not growing up there. Ordination was a step to a goal. I have discovered an outsider attitude is “once ordained always ordained” meaning it evidences authority and education. So was my experience in South Dakota being in the right place at the right time: baby booms created successful MYF’s, camping, championing civil rights for Negroes, Native Americans, and patriotism in opposing the Vietnam war (we were opposing seekers for independence from colonialism). Biblical principles of favoring the weak, the distressed, and moderation in advocacy provokes successive causes as together we create God’s kingdom on earth rather than

I retired in 1996. My last appointment was the Plankinton-Mt. Vernon Charge. We had adopted two of our grandchildren. (Robbie is now a provisional elder and lives in Flandreau with his wife, Vicki, and their daughter, Jacki. Jessica, Rob’s sister, lives in Minnesota.) They were 11 and 9 at the time and wanted to graduate from the Plankinton School. So we ended up living in Plankinton for 14 years. During that time I did an interim at Plankinton and Mt. Vernon UMCs. I formed a ministry team consisting of Joan Dolejsi (a certified lay speaker), Boyd Blumer, retired elder, and myself. I took care of the administrative responsibilities, and we all shared preaching and pastoral responsibilities. Other interims included nine months at the UCC church in Wessington Springs, and Templeton UCC west and south of Springs; six months at Our Savior’s Lutheran in Wessington Springs; three months at Wessington Springs UMC. Another interim was at Plankinton UMC and White Lake UMC for eight

relegating it to only post death. After I came to Iowa, I became involved in Methodist missions for homeless, elder health care, and the retarded as a volunteer. Civil Rights advocacy eventuated in mediation and appointment to ongoing committees and awards.

During my South Dakota experience the Methodist and EUB’s merged during the years I progressed from Deacon to Elder. After purchasing a home in Des Moines, Boonie and I found our neighborhood UMC had an EUB heritage. For 30-plus years I have taught adult Sunday School classes with a progressive disposition while some idolized biblical cultural prejudices and acceptances. Methodism delegates choice to each individual such that each person’s faith is tailor-made. We do not practice inquisition to necessitate all agreeing with a central authority. “Thy will be done on earth” is both prayer and prophet advocacy as we collectively weed sins of the past out of our “Kingdom.” Ordination challenged me to be a better clergy to others than I had prior or since. It has been a tool I’ve enjoyed and find that even tools evolve before being laid aside for its next incarnation (handsaw to chainsaw, mustang to RV). Even though we moved on from Dakota, we have traveled back repeatedly to relationships who once said goodbye but did not mean forever. Last year Boonie & Carl also observed 50 years of marriage and though childless have exchange students from Dakota years coming to visit and us to them.

months. Then six weeks at White River and Mission UMC. I filled in at Presho-Kennebec-Reliance for 4 weeks. I still fill pulpits on a regular basis at the UCC churches in Wessington Springs and the UMCs in Plankinton and White Lake and have done so in various churches here and there. I have been active in Mitchell FUMC, but have reduced my involvement recently. I have been Outreach chair, co-led a confirmation class one year, shared in leadership in adult education, etc. Our family involvement has been active. We have been taking care of our oldest great-granddaughter, Hayley, for the past few years. By the time this is printed, she will have moved to Minnesota to be with her mother, Jessica. Hayley is seven years old. Rob and Vicki became parents on March 13, so we have another great-granddaughter, Jacki. We travel to Flandreau to hear Rob preach and see Jacki and Vicki when possible. Now we will be traveling 300 miles to see Hayley. Our son Joel, his wife, Kristie, and their sons, Trevor and Travis, live in Mitchell. We spend time going to baseball games. (Trevor plays amateur ball.) We don’t know the meaning of boredom!

XI Rules and Policy XI. RULES & POLICIES

Structure and Rules of Order DEFINITIONS Section 1: Mission of the Annual Conference 1.1. Name. Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. 1.2. Core Values. Through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, we, the Dakotas Conference of The United Methodist Church, are a community saved by grace through faith, centered in Christ, grounded in Scripture, and connected with one another in the Wesleyan tradition of doing no harm, doing good, and staying in love with God. 1.2.1. Christ-Centered: Theological Values. Putting fear aside, trusting God through faith, and following the divine mandate to love God and neighbor, we, the Body of Christ, covenant to commit our lives to make disciples of Christ, employing all the means of grace available to us as revealed through Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. 1.2.2. Wesley’s Three Simple Rules: Relational Values. John Wesley’s three simple rules describe for us the foundation of our Christian life together. By intentionally examining our personal and corporate lives, we strive to do no harm. Therefore, we choose to relate to one another in a spirit of inclusiveness, integrity, intimacy, and accountability. Committed to doing good, we engage in mission, service, and social action, acknowledging that if we err we do so on the side of grace. We stay in love with God through spiritual development, including regular reading of Scripture, cultivating a life of prayer, tithing, and worshiping God in public and private settings. 1.2.3. Connection: Structural Values. Connected to God and each other through Christ, the Dakotas Conference of The United Methodist Church gathers the gifts and strengths of the local churches to fulfill more effectively our mission and ministry. By sharing leadership and resources, and providing mutual support and accountability, we do ministry better when we do it together. 1.3. Purpose. The purpose of the Annual Conference is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world by equipping its local churches for ministry and by providing a connection for ministry beyond the local church; all to the glory of God. (¶601 of the 2012 Book of Discipline) 1.4. Viability of the Local Church. A viable congregation of The United Methodist Church in the Dakotas Conference makes disciples by intentionally and consistently doing these things: +Invites people to know Christ. +Includes people in the fellowship of the church. +Worships regularly. +Nurtures spiritual growth. +Prays for one another and the world. +Participates in local and global mission. +Meets financial obligations. +Shares in the mission and ministry of The United Methodist Church including paying apportionments. We expect every congregation to evaluate and apply these criteria to its ministry, and be accountable for showing progress in each area with the support of the District Superintendent. The work of a church is a labor shared by both its congregation and the clergy appointed to serve that congregation with the support of the District Superintendent. A church or clergyperson that does not take specific, measureable steps to meet these criteria lacks integrity and/or vitality. Therefore, a congregation adjudged not to have made specific, measureable steps to meet the criteria of vitality should consider closing, allowing its members and constituents to be nurtured, grow, and be in a mission in a viable congregation. 1.5. Dakotas Platform for Ministry. Connected to God and each other through Christ, the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church exists for the purpose of equipping the local church for mission and ministry in the world. By sharing leadership resources and providing mutual support and accountability, we do ministry better when we do it together. The Dakotas Annual Conference provides links between the local church and conference for developing missional leaders, equipping missional congregations, extending missional impact, and generating missional resources. Section 2: Conference Officers 2.1. President. The President shall be the Bishop of the Dakotas Area of The United Methodist Church 2.2. Director of Ministries 2.3. Conference Secretary.

(See Para 614.5 of the 2012 Book of Discipline). C. Offerings received at the Annual Conference Session will be used at the discretion of the Annual Conference Sessions Committee and the Bishop. D. Golden Cross Sunday: The Conference is granted permission to have a Golden Cross Sunday. Receipts from the offering shall be used to support parish nurse programs.

303

E. Children’s Sunday Offering: This special offering will support ministries for children and the poor and is recommended to be taken on the second Sunday of September. F. Thanksgiving Offering: The appeal for this offering shall be designated by the Bishop. G. CCFA gives the right of permission for the Dakotas United Methodist Foundation to call on Local Churches for both Current Gifts and Deferred Gifts for the Foundation on behalf of the ministries of the Dakotas Annual Conference. H. Global Aids Awareness Sunday: The Global Aids Task Force is granted permission to have a Global Aids Sunday in February. Receipts from this offering shall be used at the discretion of the Global Aids Task Force. VI. Miscellaneous A. Any board or committee considering an honorarium for a special task demanding time and services of one of its officers or members can only do so upon submitting a proposal for an honorarium to the CCFA for its approval. Specifically, the CFC does not encourage the payment of honoraria because so many persons give dedicated time and services to the Annual Conference and receive no financial return. Apportionment Method Part of how a United Methodist church fulfills their mission is through full and faithful participation in apportionments. In the Dakotas Conference, the method of apportionment shall be that each church gives a percentage of their income to the Annual Conference. For Federated and United churches, this percentage applies only to the income attributed to the United Methodist denomination. The percentage will be of the income received for the support of the operating budget. This is income as defined in Table 3 Line 67 of the annual statistical reports as follows: • Donations from identified and unidentified givers to support the operating budget • Interest and dividends allocated toward the operating budget • Net proceeds from the sale of church assets where the proceeds are used to support the operating budget • Building use fees and rental income • Net income from fundraisers and other programs used to support the operating budget CCFA will annually determine a percentage for churches to give of their income that is adequate to fund the apportioned budget. For the year 2015, the percentage will be 16%. In addition, each charge will be direct billed for the cost of pension, health insurance, and death/disability insurance. The amount of the direct billing will be calculated as follows: • Health Insurance: The total annual premiums for all pastors appointed full-time to a charge and participating in the Conference health plan will be reduced by the participant’s share. The result will be divided by the number of pastors and billed to each charge based on their number of full-time pastors on the Conference health plan. • Pension: The pension is made up of two parts: a defined benefit amount and a defined contribution amount. The defined benefit amount is provided to the Conference from the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (GBOP). This amount will be divided by the Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) of pastors appointed to local churches and enrolled in the defined benefit pension plan and pastors appointed to extension ministry where the Conference is responsible for their pension contributions. The resulting amount will be billed out according to each charge’s FTE of pastors enrolled in the defined benefit pension plan. The defined contribution is billed to the Conference monthly by GBOP. The billing is a specific amount for each pastor and is based on the pastor’s compensation. This amount will be billed by the Conference to each charge according to the pastor(s) appointed. • Death/Disability Insurance: Death/Disability Insurance is billed to the Conference monthly by GBOP. The billing is a specific amount for each pastor and is based on the pastor’s compensation. This amount will be billed by the Conference to each charge according to the pastor(s) appointed. Mission congregations, as defined in the Book of Discipline ¶259.1.a, will not participate in apportionments or be direct billed for any pension, health insurance, and death/disability insurance. Mission congregations will be reviewed annually by the cabinet to determine if they still meet the definition of a mission congregation. In the event that the congregation is determined to not be a mission congregation, they will begin participating in apportionments following the same schedule as new churches. This also includes satellite congregations. • Churches charted after 12/31/13 will use the following schedule: • First Partial Year – Begin paying direct bill for pension, health insurance, and death/disability insurance • First Full Year – Direct bill + 20% full apportionment • Second Full Year – Direct bill + 40% full apportionment • Third Full Year – Direct bill + 60% full apportionment • Fourth Full Year – Direct bill + 80% full apportionment • Fifth Full Year – Direct bill + full apportionment

304

Regarding Churches paying less than 100% of Apportionments. In recognition of the fact that not all churches within the Dakotas Conference are participating fully (100%) in the apportionment system of financing conference ministries, CFC will contact each of those churches regularly, to help them develop a plan that will make it possible for them to assume their share of apportionments. The goal will be to have each church fully participating within three years of the initial contact. It is further expected that if pastoral leadership is the problem, and if progress is not made yearly and the goal is not reached at the end of the third year, the bishop and cabinet will seriously consider making a change in pastoral leadership for that church.

MISSION CONGREGATION SUPPORT POLICY Adopted June 2014

The declaration of the “mission congregation” status according to para. 259.1a of the Discipline (2012) rests with the office of the bishop, as is the case with any established congregations. The bishop and Cabinet shall carefully review proposed mission congregation opportunities to ensure that they fit both the Discipline (2012) definition and the Conference missional strategy. It is expected that very few congregations would receive such a declaration. When a congregation is either organized or reorganized as a mission congregation in accordance with Discipline (2012) and Conference guidelines, the Cabinet shall develop and recommend to the Annual Conference a covenant of understanding, support, and accountability between the congregation and the Conference. Responsibility for consideration of the financial support for a mission congregation shall rest with the Conference Council on Finance and Administration. Any support for the physical property shall remain under the purview of the Conference Trustees. The four areas outlined below shall be considered areas of financial support, pending CCFA’s approval: 1. Consistent and ongoing financial resources for each mission congregation. A mission congregation may receive budget support from the Conference, which will allow it to better pursue its missional/strategic goals, and provide for pastoral leadership support. Instead of looking at membership growth, attendance or income, the benchmarks for continued funding shall be based on the ministry of the mission congregation to the parish/ministry field with which they are identified. Effectiveness shall be determined by the outcome of the ministries offered, and not solely on “numbers.” 2. Health and pension costs for a pastor appointed to a mission congregation. The Annual Conference, upon CCFA recommendation, shall assume the health and pension costs for the appointed pastor, in the same way as superintendents or directors have their health and pension costs assumed under conference budgets. 3. Exemption from apportionment formulas. With Conference approval, Mission congregations shall be exempted from the conference apportionment formulas. Instead, on a yearly basis, they shall approve goals and raise funds for missional giving beyond their own needs in accordance with The United Methodist Church. 4. Property support. The Conference Board of Trustees shall have responsibility to consider repair, renovation, upkeep and new builds for the “home” and parsonage of each mission congregation, as feasible within the conference budget. 5. Oversight and evaluation. The bishop and Cabinet shall review the status of “mission congregation” at least every 4 years, recommend to CCFA and the Conference continued financial support. A change of status may occur due to changing demographics, emerging ability of the congregation to assume more of its own financial support, or evaluation of the effectiveness of the congregation to meet its missional goals or purpose.

Policies for Dakotas Conference Salaries

EXEMPT EMPLOYEES District Superintendents and Conference Directors. The Dakotas Annual Conference adopted the following policy in 2004 (see page #157 of the 2004 Dakotas Conference Journal. This action directed that the salaries for District Superintendents and Conference Directors shall be equal to the average salary of the top five salaries paid to Conference pastors in churches who pay 100% of their apportionments. Salaries in any one year would not decrease from the previous year. Associate Directors and Missionaries Associate Directors are exempt professional employees with special training or expertise to perform responsibilities in a specific area of ministry. Associate Directors include, but is not limited to, the camp site directors and the associate director of communications. Conference Missionaries are exempt professional employees who are certified by the General Board of Global Ministries for service as mission personnel. These persons are assigned by the bishop to a mission field of the Dakotas Annual Conference. Missionaries may supervise a staff of non-exempt employees.

305

The respective employing agents will develop a salary pool for its employees. NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES Conference Support Staff Salaries The Human Resource Committee sets salaries annually, usually allowing a cost of living increase. Conference Camping Staff The Board of Camp and Retreat Ministries has developed a salary pool for its employees. On an annual basis the Board will determine a percentage increase for the next year’s salary pool. The individual salaries are set at the discretion of the Director of Camping, based upon an individual’s performance and the availability of funds.

Equitable Compensation Revised: June 2015

The purpose of Equitable Compensation is to work with the District Superintendents in the effort to support congregations as they strive to become viable (Rule 1.4). This is done by A) providing salary support grants to Churches/ Charges served by a full-time United Methodist pastor and B)making an annual recommendation of the minimum compensation needed by a pastor to allow them to focus their efforts on the ministry instead of seeking secondary employment. ANNUAL RECOMMENDATION OF MINIMUM COMPENSATION 1) The Base Cash Salary for each year: 65% of the Conference Average Compensation for Full Connection Clergy; 62% of the Conference Average Compensation for Less than Full Connection Clergy 2) The Base Cash Salary for both clergy groups listed in paragraph #1 shall include any personal tax deferred annuities, personal IRA’s paid by the local church, or personal pension plan in addition to the recommended contribution to the Pension program (UMPIP) in No. 3. 3) The pastor shall receive the following in addition to minimum compensation. A) Pension Program Contribution (UMPIP) equal to 3% of the Denominational Average Compensation; B)Continuing Education allowance (minimum of $150); C) Travel Allowance by voucher at the current IRS rate; D)Utilities paid in full (minimum of heat, electricity, local phone service, water, garbage service, and internet); Accountable Reimbursement Plan (minimum of $500). SALARY SUPPORT GRANTS 1) The following requests will be considered by the Commission: Strategic Appointment Grant – Available when a new appointment results in significantly increased costs to the Church/Charge. These increased costs will be so burdensome that it is unlikely that the Church/Charge will have adequate resources available to take the necessary steps to becoming viable without outside assistance. The purpose of this grant is to assist the Church/Charge in its transition to being able to fully support the newly appointed pastor. The Church/Charge shall provide monthly written status reports to the District Superintendent and Conference Treasurer. Status reports shall at a minimum report progress towards benchmarks. Discernment Grant – Available when a Church/Charge has declined in its ability to support a full-time United Methodist pastor to the point where it is unlikely to be able to provide the recommended minimum compensation. The purpose of this grant is to provide time for the Church/Charge and District Superintendent to evaluate the viability of the congregation and decide upon a ministry plan that is appropriate for the Church/ Charge. The District Superintendent shall provide a report on the viability and the ministry plan at the next Equitable Compensation meeting. Depending on the ministry plan adopted by the District Superintendent and the Church/Charge, it may be appropriate for the Church/Charge to provide monthly written status reports to the District Superintendent and Conference Treasurer. Emergency Grant – Available when a Church/Charge provides evidence that they will not be able to provide their full-time United Methodist pastor with the recommended minimum compensation. The purpose of this grant is to ensure that the pastor is properly cared for. 2) Churches/Charges shall pay their apportionments in full during the years they receive salary support grant payments. Churches/Charges that do not comply with this shall not be considered for a Salary Support Grant the following year with the exception of Emergency Grants. 3) The maximum amount to be paid for Strategic Appointment Grants and Discernment Grants shall be $5,400 annually. Grant payments to Churches/Charges shall be made monthly. A Church/Charge shall not receive Salary Support Grant payments for more than 36 consecutive months. 4) Salary Support Grant requests shall be submitted in writing to the District Superintendent and the Conference Treasurer. In order for Salary Support Grant payments to continue into a new calendar year, the written request must be updated and resubmitted. 5) The Churches/Charges receiving support will be listed in the Conference Journal.

For determining eligibility, the following service qualifies as full-time service: A member of this Conference who is an elder in full connection, associate member, provisional member on the elder track, or local pastor and is appointed full-time to either a local charge located in this Conference or within the connectional structure to a unit of this Conference or on CPP (disability) for which the annual conference has provided the pension contributions to either CRSP, MPP, or Pre-82. 2. Any retiree not participating in the health plan of this Conference will NOT be eligible for receiving a retiree HRA or premium support. 3. In addition: a. CLERGY: To be eligible to receive a retiree HRA or premium support, a person must have the following years of fulltime service: i. Persons retiring prior to 1/1/2016 must have 6 or more years of service. ii. Persons retiring from 1/1/2016 to 12/31/2019 must have 10 or more years of service. iii. Persons retiring from 1/1/2020 to 12/31/2023 must have 14 or more years of service. iv. Persons retiring from 1/1/2024 to 12/31/2025 must have 18 or more years of service. v. Persons retiring after 12/31/2025 must have 20 or more years of service. b. LAY: To be eligible to receive a retiree HRA or premium support, a person must have the following years of full-time service as determined by their employment record: i.

The personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age as of January 1st (calculated to a quarter-year). For dependent children, the age of the clergy

309

2. 3. 4. 5.

person or lay employee will be used. b. The years of full-time service as defined above in the eligibility rules section for clergy persons or the employment records for lay employees. For dependent children and spouses, the years of service of the clergy person or lay employee will be used. For clergy couples, the years of service of the spouse with the greater number of years of service will be used for both persons. c. Years of credit in place as of July 2012 will be grandfathered in to the HRA calculations. An amount determined by the ratio of each participant’s individual calculations (age plus years of service minus the number 65) to the total of all individual calculations. Each participant’s individual ratio will be applied to the total amount available for contributions for the retiree’s HRA and premium support. The total amount available for HRA contributions and premiums support will be determined by the Conference Board of Pensions as part of their annual budget recommendation. For retirees age 65 and older that are on One Exchange, their amount will be deposited in an HRA administered through One Exchange. For retirees under the age of 65 that are on HealthFlex, their premium support will reduce the amount of the premium that the retiree is responsible for. (e.g. In 2015, the premium for a single policy is $8,076 annually. If a retiree is 62 yr and has 30 years of service in and receives premium support in the amount of $1,341, the retiree must pay the remaining $6,735.) Retirees under the age of 65 who retired prior to 1/1/13 will be grandfathered in and calculations for premium support will be based on the old method used prior to the change to One Exchange.

If a retiree is unable to pay the total participant’s share, the retiree may apply to the Conference Board of Pensions by contacting the Conference Benefits Officer for possible grant funding assistance. General Rules and Policies regarding Health Care Benefits 1. Rules and policies included in the HealthFlex Plan Documents and Adoptions Agreements between the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits of The United Methodist Church and the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church supersede these policies. 2. Specific Rules and Policies regarding Medical Reimbursement Accounts (MRA) and Dependent Care Accounts (DCA). If a participant fails to make the required contributions within sixty days of such notice, the plan sponsor may terminate the participant’s coverage effective the end of the month for which some partial contribution has been paid by the participant. This may apply to a participant’s medical, dental, vision and medical/dependent reimbursement accounts as a group, or to just a medical reimbursement account and/or dependent care account. The plan sponsor need to complete an enrollment/change form showing declination of coverage on the participant, with the event date being the last date of the period for which partial payment was received. If participant later wants to accept coverage he/she must wait until the next annual election period to enroll for coverage beginning the following plan year. In addition, in order to re-enroll and select election, all outstanding premiums must be paid by the participant. The exception to this is if the participant or dependent experiences a special enrollment event as defined under the Health Information Protection and Portability Act (HIPAA). Specific Rules and Policies Regarding Health Care Benefits 1. Divorced Spouses may continue to participate in HealthFlex for up to two (2) years if divorce decree does not stipulate a time period. Participant or Divorce Spouse pay 100% of the premium, depending on divorce decree stipulations. 2. Surviving spouses of clergy who are participating in the Conference Health Benefits Plan will receive reimbursement of their Medicare Part B premium. If a surviving spouse remarries, Medicare Part B reimbursement is reduced to 50%. 3. Questions regarding policy interpretation should be addressed to the Conference Benefits Officer, Conference Board of Pensions, for referral to, and decision by, that body. Specific Rules regarding payment of direct billing to churches and participants (2001) If payment is not made on the direct billing to the church for both the churches’ direct bill and/or the participant’s direct bill, the following steps will be taken: 1. After 30 days, a certified letter will be sent by the conference finance office to the applicable pastor/participant, church/ charge treasurer, PPRC Chair, and applicable district superintendent inquiring about payment. 2. After 45 days, the applicable district superintendent will contact the applicable pastor/participant, church/charge treasurer, and PPRC Chair to inquire and encourage regarding payment.

Assuming endorsement and support by the Joint Committee, the Convener will add signature to the application form and record recommendation for file and send form to the Conference Benefits Officer, who in turn will submit the form to the GBOP for application approval by the current disability insurance company. 8. The applicant shall be notified that the application and supporting materials have been submitted to the GBOP by the District Superintendent with whom she/he initiated the process. 9. Participants newly appointed to medical leave and in the process of applying for Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) disability benefits as outlined above will be paid by the Conference for up to four (4) months as disability benefits a monthly amount calculated from the greater of: a) 70% of their plan compensation in their appointment immediately prior to appointment to medical leave, or b) 40% of the Denominational Average Compensation in effect at the time of appointment to medical leave. (See the “Resolutions Relating to Rental/Housing Allowances for Active, Retired, Disabled, or Former Clergypersons of the Dakotas Conference” published elsewhere in this Journal for the designation of this amount as Housing Allowance.) The monthly Conference disability benefit will cease upon approval of CPP disability benefits as described in that Plan’s Document or upon disapproval of CPP benefits, whichever happens first within the time limit stated earlier. In extraordinary situations application for extension of the four (4) month time limit should be made to the Conference Benefits Officer for Executive Committee review and consideration.” Vacation and Time Off Policy Adopted: 2015

•

Four (4) weeks, including four Sundays, for a total of 28 days. Parishes may choose to grant more than four weeks considering years of service in ministry, family needs, or other variables. All such agreements shall be agreed to in writing between the pastor and pastor/staff parish relations committee. Clergy with a less than a full time appointment shall be granted at least the number of vacation: • Quarter Time appointed clergy shall receive one (1) week including four Sundays for a total of 10 days. • Half Time appointed clergy shall receive two (2) weeks including four Sundays for a total of 16 days. • Three-quarter Time appointed clergy shall receive three (3) weeks including four Sundays for a total of 22 days.

Continuing Education Continuing Education is a vital and important part of leadership development for Spirit-led missional leaders. Con-

311

tinuing Education time is not to be confused with vacation. Vacation is for rest and recharging. Continuing Education is for professional and spiritual development. Each Charge will grant its appointed clergy (full or part-time) two weeks, including one Sunday, for a total of 11 days for the purpose of continuing education and professional improvement during each appointment year. The Charge will pay for the pulpit supply for the continuing education Sunday. Annual Conference All clergy are expected to attend all sessions of the Annual Conference. The Sunday immediately after Annual Conference is a travel/rest day and is not vacation or continuing education time. The Charge will pay the travel, registration and per diem expense for its clergy and lay members attending Annual Conference. The Charge will pay for the pulpit supply for Conference Sunday. Connectional Responsibilities Clergy, as members of the Annual Conference will have connectional responsibilities (e.g. meetings of the Annual, Jurisdictional or General Conference Boards and agencies, Conference Camps, etc.). Time spent on these responsibilities will not be counted as vacation time or continuing education. Clergy will inform the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee of time needed for these responsibilities. Weekly Days Off Clergy are expected to take holidays and at least one day off each week. Up to five days of “compensation time” may be accumulated to be taken at another time, not to include a Sunday. Clergy will inform the Pastor/Staff Parish Relations Committee when “compensation time” is taken. Additional Time Away Any additional time for personal reasons or for educational purposes will be negotiated with the Clergy, the Pastor/ Staff Parish Relations Committee, in consultation with the District Superintendent. It is recommended a written agreement be developed and signed for purpose of clarity and understanding. The vacation and time off policy applies to the Conference leadership clergy as well as the clergy serving local church charges. Clergy Continuing Education Policies Adopted: 1996 The Board of Ordained Ministry of the Dakotas Annual Conference makes available $600.00 per quadrennium for each: Elder or Deacon member of the conference in full connection, Probationary member of the conference, Diaconal minister who is a member of conference, and Licensed Local Pastor who has completed the Conference Course of Study. Each clergy person is required to complete eight Continuing Education credits each quadrennium or two credits per year. One CEU/CSU shall be the equivalent of: -Twenty hours of supervised reading/reflection in a knowledge-competency area agreed upon by pastor and PPR. (No more than one CEU/CSU can be given by this route in one year.) -Ten contact hours under qualified leadership. (An hour spent with an instructor or a course, workshop, or seminar.) The term CSU stands for Conference Standard Unit, which may be used in lieu of Continuing Education Units (CEU). CEUs often require that a fee be paid to a college or university. CSUs do not. CSUs reflect study time, but might not reflect formal credits outside our conference. GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING FOR A CONTINUING EDUCATION GRANT Determine and select the desired event. Each clergy person is to think through her/his needs and desires concerning continuing education and consult with their PPRC concerning observed needs. Out of that reflection choose what best fits the needs for this period of time. Use the CE Grant application form describing the event and listing number of CEUs available. Include a copy of the brochure or material describing the event and send it to the continuing education officer of the BOM. The request will then be processed by the continuing education officer. If there are questions, the CE officer will clarify them before processing the request. When completed, the request will be sent on for payment to the clergy person. GENERAL EXPECTATIONS OF THE BOARD REGARDING CONTINUING EDUCATION FUNDS AND EVENTS: Should an event be selected that does not grant CEUs, material describing “contact hours” within that event should be sent to the continuing education officer. Should a clergy member be assigned after the beginning of a quadrennium, the CE grant amount available will be

312

prorated to the years left in the quadrennium. Each clergy member is encouraged to receive one-half (4) of her/his units outside the Annual Conference offerings. Each January the clergy member is asked to submit a summary of continuing education experiences and units earned. This report is to be sent to the continuing education officer.

Student Aid Guidelines Revised: 2012 by the Board of Ordained Ministry The Ministerial Student Aid Fund (MSAF) is available for seminary and course of study students related to the Dakotas Annual Conference (DAC). The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance for a student’s seminary education through loans. 1. Eligibility. Any seminary student related to the DAC who is a certified candidate for ministry enrolled and completing satisfactory work at a recognized seminary toward the completion of a M.Div. Degree (or degree in specialized ministry) is eligible to receive aid from MSAF. A recognized seminary is defined as a seminary properly recognized and approved by the University Senate of the Division of Higher Education of The United Methodist Church. A. Aid from the MSAF will be provided after the student has consulted with the loan officer of the seminary. Aid will not be made beyond the basic seminary (or specialized) degree (M.Div. or other) and/or reception into Full Membership in the Conference. B. Loan approval is contingent upon full-time satisfactory progress being made toward the completion of the appropriate Degree. C. The DAC Board of Ordained Ministry will make the final decision regarding loan approval and the applicant will be bound by that decision. 2. Process. Funds provided to a student through the MSAF are first given on a loan basis. Students must sign a promissory note indicating their commitment to repay the loan under the terms and conditions of the note before the aid is given. Should certain conditions be met, all or a portion of the principal and interest due on a loan will be forgiven by service in the Dakotas Conference of The United Methodist Church. Conditions for forgiving the loan are outlined in number six below. 3. Loan Maximums. A. The DAC Board of Ordained Ministry will set the Yearly Maximum Aid available. The amount will be published in the JOURNAL. B. The DAC Board of Ordained Ministry will set a Loan-Grant Cap for aid available to a student while in seminary. In special circumstances (e.g. “matching aid scholarships”) additional loan/grant aid may be granted. The additional aid will be subtracted from available “debt reduction” aid available to the individual. If insufficient funds are available to meet all MSAF requests, approved applicants will receive aid in proportion to the funds available. 2nd and 3rd year students shall be given priority. C. Loans for the second, third, or fourth years in seminary will be approved only as a new loan upon receipt of the completed application and promissory note, (see number four below). 4. Applications. Students may apply for MSAF assistance by completing and signing the following forms: a) MSAF Loan Application; and b) MSAF Promissory Note. A. An application for aid will not be approved until the two documents listed above are properly completed and submitted to the Conference Loan Officer. The forms listed above may be obtained from the Conference Loan Officer. B. Applications for aid may be made at any time. In addition, an application for aid may be submitted as many times as needed until the Yearly Maximum Aid or the Loan-Grant Cap for a student has been reached. 5. Loan Repayment Provisions. The total of loans made to the student during his or her seminary education career will become due and payable upon graduation from seminary with a M.Div. Degree or other appropriate degree. Interest will begin to accrue upon the student’s graduation from seminary with the appropriate degree or immediately after any of the circumstances defined in 5A through 5G have occurred (see below). The DAC Board of Ordained Ministry will determine interest rates and Yearly Minimum Payments required. Payments will begin within six months after graduation or within six months after any of the circumstance defined in 5A through 5G have occurred. Principal and interest payments will continue until the loan is fully paid. Payment schedules will be prepared by the Conference Director of Finance and Administrative Services and forwarded to the Conference Loan Officer for transmittal to the aid recipient. Loan payments will be made to and the accounting thereof will reside with the Conference Office of Finance and Administrative Services. The Loan will be repaid in the following circumstances: A. If the aid recipient receives an appointment in an annual conference other than the Dakotas Annual Conference. B. If the aid recipient refuses to accept an appointment by the Dakotas Area Bishop within the boundaries of the DAC. C. If the aid recipient requests and receives a leave of absence, sabbatical leave or honorable location.

316

D. If the aid recipient is refused admission to the DAC by the Conference Clergy or other Conference bodies as prescribed by the Discipline of The United Methodist Church and the Standing Rules of the Dakotas Conference. E. If the aid recipient is placed in an appointment beyond the local church by the Dakotas Area Bishop where the location of that appointment is outside the boundaries of the DAC. F. If the aid recipient leaves seminary regardless of his/her intention to complete degree. G. If the aid recipient’s membership in the conference is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated or if aid recipient no longer continues as a certified candidate for ordained ministry. The DAC Board of Ordained Ministry will make the final determination as to whether or not the aid recipient will repay the loan. The aid recipient is bound by the Board’s decision regarding the repayment of his or her loan. Service Conversion Privilege. The aid recipient may earn forgiveness of portions of the loan under the following circumstances. After completion of the appropriate degree, the principal of the loan may be forgiven at a rate per year determined by the DAC Board of Ordained Ministry with no interest accrual while the recipient is serving an appointment under the authority of the Dakotas Area Bishop within the boundaries of the DAC. Forgiveness will be granted yearly at Annual Conference. The DAC Board of Ordained Ministry will make the final determination as to whether or not the forgiveness privilege will be offered to the aid recipient. The aid recipient is bound by the Board’s decision regarding the forgiveness privilege. If the aid recipient has been previously extended the forgiveness privilege but leaves the Dakotas Annual Conference for any reason or otherwise fall within the provision of 5A through 5G above, the grant will revert back to cash repayment of the remaining principal balance with interest as required under the provisions of number five above. COURSE OF STUDY Some persons seek to serve in the Annual Conference through the approved Course of Study as outlined The United Methodist Discipline. Student Aid funds are available for Course of Study students. All aspects of the forgoing Student Aid Policy apply to those pursuing Course of Study with the following exceptions/clarifications. A. Course of Study students will be eligible for the Yearly Maximum Aid as determined by the DAC Board of Ordained Ministry or actual expenses, whichever is less, at a 75/25 reimbursement ratio. The DAC Board of Ordained Ministry through MSAF will cover 75% of eligible expenses. The remaining 25% will be covered by the student, the student’s continuing education funds as a local pastor, and/or by local church sponsorships. B. Eligible expenses include tuition and fees, books, room and board (subject to conference Per Diem as per CFC policies), and travel (at conference rate paid to a maximum of the cost of travel to one of the three closest United Methodist Seminaries — Iliff, Garrett-Evangelical, St. Paul’s - with additional travel expenses left to the candidate). C. Course of Study and Advanced Course of Study students will be eligible for an Overall Cap as determined by the DAC Board of Ordained Ministry. D. Special situations of need may be appealed to the DAC Board of Ordained of Ministry. EDUCATIONAL DEBT REDUCTION SUPPORT FOR NEW PASTORS Provisional members of the Dakotas Conference may be eligible to receive up to a Yearly Maximum as determined by the DAC Board of Ordained Ministry per year for up to six successive years for educational debt retirement. Eligibility continues after Elder’s ordination. The following stipulations determine eligibility. A. All educational requirements for Elder’s Orders have been completed. B. The applicant must be in a full-time appointment within the bounds of the Dakotas Annual Conference, however, less-than-full-time appointments may receive grants on a pro rata basis. Appointments to attend school do not qualify. Debt Reduction support will cease with any termination of relationship with the DAC, or appointment outside the bounds of the conference. C. The applicant will supply evidence of educational debt related to ministerial education. D. Debt Reduction support is considered a loan-grant must be repaid or forgiven by service in the conference. Yearly debt reduction forgiveness (per the levels of aid stated below) will apply only after requirements for forgiveness or repayment have been satisfied for any outstanding seminary or COS loan/ grants. Exception to this policy may be approved by the DAC Board of Ordained Ministry. Application forms must be requested annually from the Conference Loan Officer. Debt Reduction Grant decisions will be made by the Board of Ordained Ministry Ministerial Student Aid/Finance Group. E. Special situations of need may be appealed to the DAC Board of Ordained of Ministry. Dakotas Conference UMC Box 460 Mitchell, SD 57301-0460

Establish a covenant between the Appointed and Retired Pastors regarding those agreed upon responsibilities and share that covenant with the Staff Parish Relations Committee. -Priestly functions and associated counseling are the responsibility of the Appointed Pastor. In special circumstances Retired Pastors may assist or perform funerals, weddings and baptism at the invitation of the Appointed Pastor. -Retired Pastors shall not perform worship services within the bounds of a pastoral charge without permission of the Appointed Pastor or District Superintendent. (P. 341.4) -If the Retired Pastor is a former pastor of the parish, do not pass on any negative opinions about persons or the church to the Appointed Pastor. When the Appointed Pastor asks for information, respond to those questions as fully as you wish. -If the Retired Pastor feels their Appointed Pastor is in error, talk to the pastor. If you do not receive an adequate response, talk to the District Superintendent. Never discuss these issues related to the Appointed Pastor with the laity. If you feel you cannot continue under that Appointed Pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministry, change churches. -Be tolerant of different styles of ministry and be tolerant of occasional mistakes and errors by the Appointed Pastor. -Encourage parishioners to talk to the Appointed Pastor in pastoral care situations. Tell the parishioner that you will support them as a Christian friend, but they should use the Appointed Pastor as pastor. In limited situations referral to the Retired Pastor by the Appointed Pastor may be appropriate. -When visiting in pastoral care situations, the Retired Pastor should make it clear that s/he is representing her/ himself and not the church or pastor. It is appropriate to make hospital calls as a friend anytime. -Before making a hospital or nursing home visit that may be construed as a pastoral call, give the Appointed Pastor a chance to make the first call. -Do not expect to use church facilities without going through proper channels. -Make annual reports to Charge Conference and Cabinet. If you are in doubt about any of this, consult the District Superintendent. Clergy Ethics for Appointed Pastors in Relationship to Retired Pastors Adopted by Board of Ordained Ministry on March 14, 2006 Affirmed by the Executive Session on June 8, 2006 -Remember, the Appointed Pastor is the pastor for these clergy members and their families of your appointed parish. -Welcome the newly Retired Pastor to the congregation and affirm their ministry career. -The Appointed Pastor should be aware that newly Retired Pastors/spouses may be going through a stressful time of adjustment in their lives and they may need pastoral care in that regard.

318

-The Appointed Pastor may wish to ask the Retired Pastor if they are interested in continuing in any areas of ministry. Establish an informal covenant regarding these areas of responsibility agreed upon and share that covenant with the Staff Parish Relations Committee. Remember, the Retired Pastor’s spouse and family are laity with the same opportunities of service as any other laity. -The Appointed Pastor may use the Retired Pastor in areas they can contribute to the life of the church being sensitive to their needs to use their gifts and talents. -For those Retired Pastors who wish to continue to contribute ministry to the life of the local church, the Appointed Pastor may find valuable services for the Retired Pastor to perform. -Respect the wishes of some Retired Pastors to really be retired from the ministerial functions. -The Appointed Pastor should not be hypersensitive to Retired Pastor’s pastoral care for friends or colleagues. -The Appointed Pastor should remember that they have been given the responsibility for the care of the congregation and not shift too much of that pastoral care to willing Retired Pastors. -With the permission of the Retired Clergy, report to the District Superintendent any Retired Clergy family illness or death. If you are in doubt about any of this, consult the District Superintendent. Sexual Misconduct Policy Adopted June 2012 All citations referring to The Book of Discipline (BOD) and the Book of Resolutions (BOR) are from the 2012 Edition. Statement of Policy and Commitment Clergy and laity in ministerial roles, lay employees and volunteers of the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (hereafter referred to as Dakotas Conference) shall not engage in sexual abuse, sexual harassment, gender harassment or sexual misconduct, as defined by the Book of Discipline (BOD) of The UMC, state, federal and tribal law. In both North Dakota and South Dakota certain acts of sexual misconduct by members of the clergy are defined as crimes. Further the Dakotas Conference bears affirmative responsibility to create an environment of hospitality for all persons, male or female, which is free of these sins and encourages respect, equality and kinship in Christ. The Dakotas Conference will not condone or tolerate instances of sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, gender harassment, or sexual abuse and is committed to a prompt and thorough investigation of allegations, in compliance with the BOD. Biblical and Theological Foundation The Dakotas Conference is committed to the prevention of sexual misconduct in any form and to justly address allegations of the same. We believe that every person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), that all Christians are equal in Christ (Galatians 3:26-28), and that we are called to love our neighbors as well as enemies (Matthew 5:42). “Contrary to the nurturing community, sexual harassment creates improper, coercive, and abusive conditions wherever it occurs in society. Sexual harassment undermines the social goal of equal opportunity and the climate of mutual respect between men and women.” (BOD, ¶161.I). Furthermore, “Violent, disrespectful, or abusive sexual expressions do not confirm sexuality as God’s good gift.” (BOD, ¶161.H). Definitions 1. “Sexual misconduct is a betrayal of sacred trust. It is a continuum of unwanted sexual or gender-directed behaviors by either a lay or clergy person within a ministerial relationship (paid or unpaid). It can include child abuse, adult sexual abuse, harassment, rape or sexual assault, sexualized verbal comments or visuals, unwelcome touching and advances, use of sexualized materials including pornography, stalking, sexual abuse of youth or those without capacity to consent, or misuse of the pastoral or ministerial position using sexualized conduct to take advantage of the vulnerability of another.” (BOR, p. 134). Furthermore, “the use of pornography in church programs, on church premises or with church property by persons in ministerial roles (lay and clergy) is a form of sexual misconduct.” (BOR, p. 155) 2. “Sexual harassment [is] any unwanted sexual comment, advance, or demand, either verbal or physical, that is reasonably perceived by the recipient as demeaning, intimidating, or coercive. ... Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, the creation of a hostile or abusive working environment resulting from discrimination on the basis of gender.” (BOD, ¶161.I). “[I]t is unwanted sexual or gender-directed behavior within a pastoral, employment, ministerial (including volunteers), mentor, or colleague relationship that is so severe or pervasive that it alters the conditions of employment or volunteer work or unreasonably interferes with the employee or volunteer’s performance by creating a hostile environment that can include unwanted sexual jokes, repeated advances, touching, displays, or comments that insult, degrade, or sexually exploit women, men, elders, children, or youth.” (BOR, p. 135) 3. “Gender harassment is unwelcome or unwanted conduct which is gender specific, either cross gender or same gender. Although not specifically “sexual,” gender harassment may be recognized in patterns of behavior creating a hostile or abusive working environment. Both sexual and gender harassment are exploitations of power and are

319

discriminatory by law.” (GCFA Legal Manual, p. III-45: http://www.gcfa.org/gcfa-legal-manual 4. “Sexual abuse [in ministry] is a form of sexual misconduct and occurs when a person within a ministerial role of leadership (lay or clergy, pastor, educator, counselor, youth leader, or other position of leadership) engages in sexual contact or sexualized behavior with a congregant, client, employee, student, staff member, coworker, or volunteer.” (BOR, p. 135) 5. Clergy and laity in ministerial roles shall include clergy as defined by the BOD ¶141, retired clergy members of the annual conference, and any other person in a ministerial role as explained and illustrated on p. 136 of the BOR. 6. Pornography is defined on pg. 149 of the BOR Abuse of Power Sexual abuse within the ministerial relationship involves a betrayal of sacred trust, a violation of the ministerial role and exploitation of those who are vulnerable. Similarly, sexual and gender harassment are usually understood as exploitations of power relationships rather than as exclusively sexual or gender issues. This does not mean that clergy could never be the victim of sexual harassment or sexual abuse by laity. (See BOD, ¶605.8) Implementation Clergy and laity in ministerial roles (including retired clergy), lay employees, and volunteers of the Dakotas Conference shall be provided a copy of this policy through the Dakotas Conference Journal and website, the Conference Office, and Human Resources Handbook. Training information shall be available to assist in the understanding and implementation of this policy. Making a Complaint Some instances of harassment can be resolved informally by conversation between the parties or facilitated mediation. In all other instances, if a violation of this policy is witnessed, or in good faith thought to have occurred, it shall be reported immediately to one of the offices listed below To make a complaint, contact one of the following and say, “I am calling to make a complaint of sexual misconduct”: District Superintendent, Eastern Sunrise District 701-639-0317 District Superintendent, Glacial Lakes District 605-886-5233 District Superintendent, Prairie Hills District 605-343-3172 District Superintendent, Sakakawea District 701-527-7726 Director of Ministries 605-990-7791 Office of the Bishop, Dakotas-Minnesota Area 612-870-4007 Honest and good faith complaints are welcomed. Clergy and laity in ministerial roles (including retired clergy), lay employees, and volunteers of the Dakotas Conference are required to report immediately any reasonable suspicion of harassment, abuse or misconduct to the appropriate person except when knowledge would violate confidentiality between pastor and parishioner. The Dakotas Conference, including the aforementioned persons, will not retaliate against any person who brings forward a complaint. Prompt and appropriate investigation and corrective action will be taken, including discipline pursuant to the BOD, state federal, and /or tribal law. Persons who make false accusations will be held accountable. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to waive pastorparishioner privilege. “All clergy of The United Methodist Church are charged to maintain all confidences inviolate, including confessional confidences, except in the cases of suspected child abuse or neglect or in cases where mandatory reporting is required by civil law.” (BOD ¶341.5) Clergy and laity in ministerial roles (including retired clergy), lay employees, and volunteers of the Dakotas Conference will follow any applicable mandatory reporting laws. There is potential for conflict between the obligations imposed under church law and state law, and in these cases legal advice should be sought. Information Sharing While the Dakotas Conference cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality, it seeks to make every reasonable effort to maintain confidence by disclosing information about the complaint only on a “need to know” basis as necessary to promote God’s call for justice, reconciliation and healing. Commitment to Justice and Healing The Dakotas Conference will take appropriate corrective action upon completion of an investigation and affirms the goals of reconciliation and resolution, leading to justice and healing for all parties involved. I have read and affirm my understanding of this policy. Signature _______________________________ _ Date_________________________________

Separation/Divorce Guidelines for Ordained Clergy Adopted: 1995 AFFIRMATION OF MARRIAGE The Church has traditionally supported marriage and we continue to affirm it as a viable institution, even in the midst of social change. We lift up the statement of the 1984 General Conference: “We affirm the sanctity of the marriage covenant which is expressed in love, mutual support, personal commitment, and shared fidelity between a man and a woman. We believe that God’s blessing rests upon such marriage, whether or not there are children of the union. We reject social norms that assumed different standards for women than for men in marriage.” (The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, 1984, Paragraph 71c) And -- we live with the paradox reflected in the continuation of the same paragraph: “Where marriage partners, even after thoughtful consideration and counsel, are estranged beyond reconciliation, we recognize divorce as regrettable but recognize the right of the divorced persons to remarry. We express our deep concern for the care of nurture of the children of divorced or remarried persons. We encourage that either or both of the divorced parents be considered for custody of the minor children of the marriage. We encourage an active, adapting, and enabling commitment of the church and our society to the members of divorced families.” (The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, 1984, Paragraph 71d) We affirm that when persons enter into marriage, they enter into a covenant relationship which God has blessed. That relationship is meant to be an unbroken relationship in which two persons commit themselves not only to each other, but to the growth and development of the other’s unique gifts. Even in the best of situations, finding marital fulfillment demands tireless effort. People change. No marriage can remain static and be viable. Marriage enrichment seminars, clergy and spouse life planning seminars, and in-depth sharing provide opportunities for continued growth. THE STRUGGLE TO FULFILL THE MARRIAGE COVENANT Clergy are expected to model exemplary marital relationships. The covenant relationship -- spouse to spouse, and clergy to clergy — offers significant strength and spiritual resources for fulfilling the marriage vows. Churches and clergy also must remember that all persons are vulnerable to the same pressures of society. Clergy and spouses are humans, with strengths and weaknesses, who make wise decisions and commit errors in judgment. Clergy are human beings. As such, they are vulnerable to failure and mistakes as are any other person. The social pressures that affect the family today also affect clergy families. Church and society make demands upon clergy’s time and energies which, when personal life is not nurtured, can be destructive. In addition, persons change as they live life. Such change can be a challenge to marriage relationships. When minister and spouse find themselves experiencing destructive marital stress, they must respond to the signals with appropriate action. Clergy need to follow the advice they give to others: Seek help! They should not isolate their pain from others or seek to deny its reality. Other clergy persons, secular resources, the District Superintendent, or friends offer resources for the healing and enriching of marriage. A list of qualified counselors in your district may be obtained from each District Superintendent. Experience indicates that patterns of evasion often create catastrophic results and people seek to meet their personal needs in counterproductive relationships and work patterns. THE REALITY OF SEPARATION/DIVORCE The United Methodist Church has dealt with the concept of divorce in its statement in Paragraph 71d (stated under Section I of these guidelines). Further, it is our attempt to permit separation/divorce without advocating it. For clergy, divorces are a reality. They are filled with anguish and clouded with ambiguity, as are all marital separations or divorces. Our history as an Annual Conference has been for the Bishop and Cabinet to deal with each separation/ divorce occurrence individually, but without publicly stating procedures or generally understood expectations and intents. The guidelines put forth here have emerged from consultation among the Bishop, the Cabinet, and the Board of Ordained Ministry over an extended period of time. They are the public declaration of the process and understandings that will inform the case-by-case evaluation of the ministry of clergy who are approaching separation/divorce. The procedures reflect the couple’s network of relationships touched by clergy divorce: family, colleagues, local congregations, and professional relationship to the Conference. Articulation of guidelines to be observed when separation/divorce is chosen by clergy is in no way to be interpreted as Dakotas Annual Conference’s diminishing the integrity of the marriage covenant as a lifetime commitment. Rather, the development of a process is an attempt to nurture responsible behavior in the face of marital stress/behavior that may lead to reconciliation or to mature and honorable steps toward termination of marriage. The intent is to preserve

321

the honor of the marriage covenant and the ordination vows, and set forth a responsible method to resolve discord and disruption in clergy households. IV. DEALING HONORABLY WITH THE BREAKDOWN OF RELATIONSHIPS When a minister and spouse recognize that the marriage relationship is degenerating in spite of intensive professional counseling and a will to make the marriage covenant survive, it is expected that mature action will be taken. The response to this awareness should be with behavior that maintains the highest professional standards of the ordained ministry. 1. A clergy person contemplating separation/divorce, and the impact on professional status, will be evaluated case by case. To provide consistency and fairness, each person entering a period of separation/divorce, having fulfilled the preceding guidelines, will be expected to proceed according to the following steps: 2. Pastor inform own District Superintendent, and they, together, contact the Bishop. District Superintendent initiates contact with non-clergy spouse, emphasizing pastoral care and indicating ongoing support and counsel with couples involved. 3. Pastor and District Superintendent contact Pastor-Parish Chairperson to discuss the pastor’s and spouse’s impending separation/divorce, and strategy for announcing to local congregation. In the case of an Extension Ministry, the District Superintendent will consult with the Pastor to determine what persons within the appointive setting should be informed. 4. Pastor, District Superintendent, and Chairperson inform Pastor-Parish Relations Committee, and establish ongoing support and counsel with couples involved. 5. Pastor, with support of District Superintendent and Pastor-Parish Relations Committee, informs local congregation, with intent toward enabling all parties to begin to deal with grief, anger, hurt and other feelings. In the case of an Appointment Beyond the Local Church, the Pastor will inform those parties previously designated by the pastor and the DS, with the same intent to deal with the resulting feelings. 6. District Superintendent, Pastor, and two members of the Board of Ordained Ministry (One from Conference Relations Committee and one of the pastor’s choosing) meet to consider options of pastor’s relationship to Annual Conference. In the case of an appointment in extension ministries, this meeting will be held, when deemed appropriate by the Board of Ordained Ministry at a location near the appointment site. The available relationship options include: (a) retaining of current appointment; (b) re-appointment to another parish; (c) special appointment; (d) leave of absence; (e) sabbatical leave; (f) honorable location; (g) retirement; (h) withdrawal; (i) termination; (j) in cases of clergy immoral conduct, the review process will be initiated; and (k) in cases of clergy second or successive divorces, the Board of Ordained Ministry would reserve the right to counsel with the clergy person. The determination of Conference relationship and appointment is contingent upon the fulfillment of all the preceding guidelines. The report of this committee will be referred to the Cabinet and Conference Relations Committee, who by the Discipline have authority in matters of appointment and Conference relationship. 7. Encourage pastor and spouse to communicate to colleagues and friends their action, thus taking responsible steps within the covenant community. 8. If a change in Conference relationships is effected, return to the prior Conference relationship will be facilitated according to procedures prescribed by the Discipline. V. CONCERNS FOR FOLLOW-UP To facilitate healing and recovery, post-divorce counseling is required for clergy. Counseling is to begin immediately following the divorce (at least within the first year). Because of the covenantal relationship with non-clergy spouses, we recommend that the Dakotas Annual Conference seriously consider providing means of counseling for the spouse (and/or other family members). Furthermore, when applicable, moving expenses career training, health/medical benefits may be provided. Also, the Conference Board of Pensions will investigate an equitable means of ensuring non-clergy spouses receiving pension benefits accrued during the time of the clergy partner’s ministerial service to the Dakotas Annual Conference. Short Term Leave Policy Revised: June 2013 Aware of the ongoing pressures and responsibilities experienced in the parish ministry, the Dakotas Conference Board of Ordained Ministry (BOM) recognizes the value of short term leaves for personal and spiritual renewal. Eligibility. All clergy member in full connection (Deacons, Elders or Associate Members) who have served at least an equivalent of full-time for seven years or more are eligible for Short Term Leave funds. After a clergy member in full connection has received short term leave funds, he/she will be eligible to apply again after serving another equivalent

322

of seven years under full-time appointment. Preparatory Consultation. Persons are encouraged to prayerfully consider the purpose of their leave. Persons considering a short term leave may desire to consult at North Central Career Development in New Brighton, MN. Persons are encouraged to think well ahead (at least six months to a year) in their planning. Availability: Short Term Leaves will be granted according to the funds available. Consideration will be given to the length of service, the order and the timeliness in which requests are received, and the importance that the District Superintendent/Cabinet places on the requested leave. Application for Short Term Leave. Persons should apply to the local Staff/Pastor Parish Committee and District Superintendent for approval at least two months prior to the Spring, Summer or Fall board meetings of the BOM taking place in advance of the leave request. Application for a short term leave needs to include a budget for how BOM funds will be used to pay for pastoral supply during the leave time with the total amount requested. The District Superintendent will then forward the application to the Director of Leadership Development/Student Loan Officer for confirmation on availability of funds and for processing/approval of the BOM. Length of Leave and Salary. The maximum leave allowed is three months (including vacation time) with full salary being paid by the local church/parish or salary-paying unit. The pastoral supply compensation will be paid by Short Term Leave Funds as provided through the BOM. These funds are not to exceed $4,000 for the three months. Money is paid to the local/church parish or salary-paying unit to be distributed to those providing pastoral supply. Evaluation. The BOM will regularly evaluate the Short Term Leave program and make adjustments or changes as it believes necessary. Contact Person. For questions on how to apply for a Short Term Leave grant, please contact the Director of Leadership Development, 1331 W. University Ave., PO Box 460, Mitchell, SD 57301. (605) 996-6552.

Maximum weight: 15,000 pounds. For clergy couples the weight limit will be 120% of the stated maximum weight. 2. The clergy will do their own packing (guidelines will be provided by the moving company). Boxes will be provided where necessary. In good stewardship of material and cost, the clergy will re-use boxes as much as possible. The moving committee reserves the right to limit cost of boxes and packing materials, if necessary. The movers will pack only large mirrors and large pictures up to a total of eight. (A large pack holds up to 60X48X3 inches where a small pack holds up to 40X25X3 inches) Flat screen TVs must be packed in their original boxes. If those boxes are unavailable you can pack them in mirror packs. If the movers pack the TV the clergy will be charged for that service. 3.

Items which are irreplaceable or of extreme value or of a sentimental nature are the responsibility of the clergy. Extra insurance can be purchased from the carrier. 6. The moving expense shall not cover storage, warehousing, handling, or insurance while in storage or warehousing. 7. For retired or disabled clergy, or survivors of active clergy members, the moving expense shall not exceed two times the cost of an average in-conference move. This average cost shall be calculated from the costs of the inconference moves over the previous 5 years. The move must take place within two years to qualify for expense

325

coverage. Also, the cost of the move is taxable income for the individual and will be reported as such to the IRS. 8. All clergy not appointed to a local church, or to an appointment within the conference structure shall be responsible for their own moving expenses as they move into their new appointment or status. If the clergy requests a return to an appointment to a local church or within the conference structure, the Annual Conference shall pay for moving expenses up to 50% of the previous year’s average in-conference move. However, if the Cabinet/Conference makes the request for the clergy to accept an appointment to a local church or within the conference structure, the Annual Conference shall cover the moving costs within the normal limits as set by this policy. At the time of their retirement or exiting from ministry, clergy not appointed to a local church or to an appointment within the conference structure shall be responsible for their own moving expenses. 9.

Crisis Management Guidelines A Crisis is a Major Turning Point Resulting in Permanent Drastic Change A crisis occurs when you least expect it; the outcome will determine if affairs are better or worse. There is single way to solve a crisis, but they all have certain ear marks: 1. Crises come as a surprise. They occur unexpectedly and probably when we are least able to deal with them. Personnel may also not be readily available. 2. Surprise leads to insufficient information, and questions are difficult to answer. 3. Questions begin to surface from the media and constituents almost immediately, which is the time to take control and not be hesitant. 4. Demonstrating concern and ability to take control will probably result in being able to withstand outside pressures. 5. The crisis may cause short term focus and lead to short sighted actions. 6. After the initial shock, there are always varying degrees of trauma for those directly and indirectly affected. It is important to have a plan of action in mind before a crisis hits. When the questions come, never say “no comment.” Be truthful and be sure all church officials have been consulted. There Must Be an Official Who Will Speak To The Questions When Needed. The Episcopal office is the most logical source of information, with a line of responsibility assigned and others to assist with the task of dispensing information. These are Suggestions of Crises that have been encountered. 1. Crisis of a personal nature. 2. Crises of a corporate nature. 3. Crises prompted by natural disasters. Success in planning before the crisis is one thing that can be controlled. This may be not only the success or failure in the management of the church, but also the basis for building integrity and strengthening the work of the church. The PROCESS should include the following. 1. Name a Crisis Management Team. This would include the bishop, bishop’s assistant for connectional ministries and communicator. The legal counsel may have to be involved. Also the district superintendents should be aware of the proceedings and have full knowledge of activities. Chair of the Common Table may be included with the possibility of the lay leader. All should be listed by name, address, telephone, e-mail address and FAX number. Empower the team. The bishop should convene the team, gather information, consult with all; and provide the final decision. The bishop could serve as spokesperson. Bishop’s Assistant and communicator should be gathering background material, if needed; assist in preparation of releases; assist in monitoring the information flow. They should monitor and report media activities; screen and direct media inquiries. 4 Legal Counsel. The Legal Counsel provide input on liability and regulatory issues related to the crisis. Remember that damage from a crisis is much worse if it loses in the court of public opinion than if it loses in a court of law. Legal counsel is not the spokesperson. 5. Support team. Screen and log calls. Know how to reach all crisis management members. This team needs to be available at all times. In the event a person in the chain of responsibility is not available, have backups and alternates in place. Make sure to inform the persons closest to the central office; also key leaders in the church

326

(employees, clergy, church members, lay leaders). If possible, make a list of Crises that could possibly occur and how the response could be along with the effect. The Crisis Team Should be Guided by Predict, Prevent and Prepare Designated Places. Press room with the possibility of holding press conferences. It should be near public telephones, desks, electrical outlets for lap-top computers, FAX machines, and chairs. Possibly soft drink machines could be available. Ample Opportunity for telephone and FAX lines. Do all members of the team have cellular telephones? Team members need to be available at all times. Be Very Sure Arrangements Are Made to keep a log of all statements made, in addition to developments of the crisis. Be prepared to answer questions as to who is in charge; biographies of personalities; background information; knowledge of church. Arrange for Security Personnel to keep order and control access to all offices in addition to people to handle telephones and serve as “runners” or hospitality. In Conclusion: Be pro-active; don’t isolate the team or The United Methodist Church; your image is important (be natural); do not speculate; be sure to place the personal element above all else.

Dakotas Disaster Response Action Plan The “Action Plan” complements the Conference Disaster Plan, listed above and found on the conference website, both of which were revised in the spring of 2010.Definition of Disaster Response by UMCOR: “A disaster is a severe disruption of personal and community life, involving a significant number of people and causing spiritual, emotional, physical, and social crisis to which the church can respond with God’s love and help. Such disasters may include: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, fires, toxic poisonings and other community-wide occurrences. The United Methodist Committee on Relief seeks to provide relief for acute human needs that might otherwise go unheeded. This assistance may come in the form of cash allocations, specialized services, volunteer ministries or other avenues of mission services.” (page 59, UMCOR Disaster Training Manual.)
