All-Ohio School of Ministry to Focus on Renewal & Connection
Clergy and ministry leaders from the East Ohio and West Ohio Conferences will gather August 31 to September 2 at Kalahari Resorts and Conventions in Sandusky for the 2026 All-Ohio School of Ministry, a three-day event centered on worship, learning, reflection and renewal. The theme, “You Feed Them,” invites participants to consider how the Church is called to respond faithfully in a time of uncertainty.

Featured speaker Rev. Dr. Elaine Heath will lead three plenary sessions during the event. Heath is an ordained United Methodist elder, author and theologian who serves as abbess at Spring Forest in North Carolina and formerly served as dean of Duke Divinity School and professor at Perkins School of Theology. Her work focuses on spiritual formation, healing, and the renewal of the Church.

In addition to plenary teaching, the School of Ministry will include worship, contemplative practice, small-group conversation and connection across the Conferences, designed to renew both spirit and vocation.

"It will be a joy to be together once again, following our gathering last year,” said Bishop Hee-Soo Jung. “Our speaker will help us see more clearly how the church in this time can live as a renewed, impactful, and Spirit-filled community with authentic authority. She brings together theology and practice, creativity and imagination, and she embodies these gifts through her work in new church movements. This is one of Dr. Elaine’s great gifts: helping the church imagine fresh possibilities and live faithfully into God’s future.”

Registration is $50 per person, and participants handle their own hotel accommodation.
