Church mobile apps are popping up here and there, but many fail to do it really well. Senior Pastor Michael Smith and Director of Digital Ministry Corbin Payne of Clinton United Methodist Church share about the successful launch of their  Clinton Church Mobile App, which is very functional and has become a regular part of church life at Clinton. Since the app's launch, worship and small participation increased, giving has quadrupled, and the church experienced revitalization. Pastor Michael and Corbin's number one tip? Do it well. Towards the end we also get a sneak-peek into their future plans of online church. Hear more on this episode of the Uncovered Dish.

From his beginning as a part-time youth ministry consultant to now having worked with almost 800 congregations, Mark DeVries has realized one thing: slow and sustainable change leads to successful ministry. But what is ‘sustainable change’ and how can churches achieve it? Mark uses his extensive background as a youth minister and ministry consultant to give us a glimpse into creating successful ministries of ANY type, this week on The Uncovered Dish.

Ep. 23 Building Ministry with Slow Change: “Trust the Process” ft. Mark DeVries

"A church without deacons is a church abridged.” The United Methodist Church has two ordained orders, Elders and Deacons. Elders serve the church through parish ministry, and Deacons bridge the gap between the church and its local community. As a separate order, Deacons have existed for over 20 years, but lay and clergy alike continually struggle to understand and utilize Deacons. Could your church better connect with its local context? Do you have a call to ministry but aren’t sure ordained Elder is for you? Join our conversation with deacons Kathleen Stolz, Tom Lank, and Dr. Darryl Stephens to hear just how relevant Deacons could be to YOU.

Baptism is one of the two sacraments United Methodists practice, and it is universally recognized as a sacrament in virtually every Christian denomination. As United Methodists, we primarily practice infant baptism: a family comes in and in front of the whole congregation promises to raise their child in the Christian faith. The congregation makes a similar pledge, to create an environment where that person can mature in their faith, where that person's life is wrapped up in the life of the Church. But after the celebration of baptism stops, to often the actions of both the family and the congregations stop too. A lot about baptism is shrouded in mystery. What does it do, what does it symbolize, who should or shouldn’t get baptized, how do you do it well, and why does it matter? All this, on this Uncovered Dish.

Ep. 26 Out of the Mouths of Babes: A Conversation on Baptism

Olu Brown planted Impact Church in 2007 with just 25 people. In one year they reached 1,000 weekly worshippers, and in seven years the church went multi-site. Today Impact Church is one of fastest growing United Methodist Churches in the United States with an average weekly attendance of 2,700 across two locations and another 2,000 online. Pastor Olu comes on the podcast to talk about the pros and cons between planting a brand new church and going multi-site with an existing church - and to share leadership gems along the way.

What makes an urban church vital? For the last 10 years or so, Broadway United Methodist Church in Indianapolis began turning the model of the urban church inside out. If you were to look for its food pantry, clothing ministry and after-school program - you won't find any - they were killed off. And you may be wondering - Why? 

Rev. Mike Mather, the senior pastor of Broadway United Methodist Church comes on the podcast to help us rethink urban ministries - and why you also should consider ending your church's food pantry.
