For those students interested in serving as a United Methodist student pastor, our April Inside Perkins offers a unique opportunity. We are planning to host a group of United Methodist District Superintendents during our April session of Inside Perkins. They will be conducting interviews for a number of student pastorates in their respective districts. These District Superintendents often come from a number of districts and annual conferences, such as Arkansas, Oklahoma, and North Texas, among others. This is a great opportunity to learn about becoming a student pastor and to interview for such a position, so register for Inside Perkins today!
