Office of Connectional Ministry
Rev. Linda Wiberg
Director of Connectional Ministry
Phone:
Email: lindaw@calnevumc.org
What excites you about this work:
" As Director of Connectional Ministry my task is to work with, coordinate and support the staff, the designated lay and clergy leaders of the conference and the resources of the conference so that we can effectively work together to make disciples of Jesus Christ. It is a privilege to work with so many wonderful people and dedicated local congregations as we seek to hear God"s call and respond in faith. When we can help each other and see lives and communities transformed, that is a sign that discipleship happens and I rejoice."
