As United Methodists, we are divided into geographic zones somewhat like school districts or sports leagues. Currently we are in the Arkansas Annual Conference, which means all United Methodist Churches in the state are in the same conference. Each conference is then broken down into districts. We are currently in the Northwest District (Benton, Washington, Madison and Carroll Counties) but we may be merging with the West District (Fort Smith region). In our state, there has been an ongoing commitment to youth ministry. The Arkansas Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM or ACCYM) has events throughout the year. Our District Council on Youth Ministries (DCYM) also does some events. I hope you will try to attend one of these during this coming year! Keep an eye on the calendar for “district” or “conference” events.
