The basic body of The United Methodist Church is the Annual Conference, where laity and clergy from all congregations gather to respond to God's call to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Laurel Heights United Methodist Church belongs to the Southwest Texas Conference of The United Methodist Church. Our church currently has three Lay Delegates to Annual Conference and two Alternate Lay Delegates. (The number of delegates is proportionate to each church’s size.)
During Annual Conference (each June), clergy are appointed to churches and extension ministries within that particular Conference.
Committee members are elected by members of Laurel Heights (only members have a voice by their vote) at Church Conference, which usually occurs each November.
Ultimately, those who serve on committees within the church are your voice for the direction we take each year. The election of church officers is an important responsibility for church members and a solemn duty for those who serve.
As a church member, you may be asked to serve on a committee. Those who serve usually give up just an hour or so of their time each month. It’s one more opportunity we have to fulfill the promise we made when we joined Laurel Heights to support this church with our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.
