Welcome to In Focus online. In Focus, a publication of the WPAUMC communications department, brings news and feature stories from around Western PA, messages from our Bishop and other leaders, and information on upcoming events. The content relates to our Five Areas of Focus: Leadership Development; Abundant Health; Ministry with the Poor; New Places for New People and Dismantling Racism. Most articles are written by volunteer writer/reporters in each district. The goal is to equip church leaders with information and resources to make a difference for Christ in their churches, communities, the Western Pennsylvania Conference and beyond.
In 2023, five issues of In Focus will be published and mailed and posted on this webpage. If you'd like additional print copies of the current issue, please email communications@wpaumc.org.
Interested in submitting an article for consideration in an upcoming In Focus issue? Send your article, ideas, photos, or suggestions to communications@wpaumc.org. The deadline for submissions for the next issue is June 5, 2023. We'd love to hear from you!
