Welcome to the Conference Witness Ministry Team page…

The Witness Ministry Team is the "W" of the "NOW" connectional ministry teams. It is unique in that it corresponds to two boards - the Board of Church and Society and the Board of Discipleship. The Witness Team has the responsibility for conference ministries related to church and society, peace with justice, evangelism and spiritual formation.

The Witness Ministry Team leader is Ruth Walton, a retired diaconal minister and member of Salem First UMC. Her main responsibilities are developing the agenda for the semi-annual meeting of the Witness Ministry Team and representing the team at the Connectional Ministries Table. Contact Ruth Walton for general information about church and society ministries and evangelism.

Kathy Campbell-Barton, a lay member of the Morningside UMC in Salem, is the conference Peace with Justice coordinator. Follow the links for current information about Peace with Justice, including grants from the Peace with Justice Fund and the Peace with Justice Covenant Congregation designation. Contact Kathy Campbell-Barton directly with specific questions or requests.

Rev. Bill Gates, pastor of the Parkrose UMC, fills a new position on the Witness Ministry Team called the Community Based Organizing facilitator. Rev. Gates is willing to work with local churches and other ministry settings exploring the potential of community based organizing. Contact Bill Gates for more information.

Follow the links on the left of the page to learn more about the Witness Ministry Team.
