August 13: Update From Pastor Kenny Ott on transitioning to a Single Board Model
Click Here to listen as Pastor Kenny Ott shares an update on the proposal to move to a Single Board Model.
Canton First United Methodist Church is in the proposal process for transitioning to a Single Board Model (SBM). A Single Board Model (also known as the Single Accountable Board Model of Governance) consolidates the administrative committees of the church into a simplified and more efficient organizational structure to support alignment of the Canton First UMC Mission & Vision and to drive our missional focus in reaching new disciples for Jesus Christ.
You can learn more about the proposal and view critical questions here: Transitioning to a Single Board Model
Upcoming SBM Proposal Important Dates:
August 22 | 12:15 PM | Congregation Listening Session | Sanctuary
August 25 | 6:00 PM | Congregation Listening Session

In the CDC’s latest guidance, recommendations have been added for face coverings in public indoor settings, for both vaccinated and unvaccinated persons. Go here to learn more: Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People | CDC
It is important to remember that each person is responsible for making decisions to protect his/her own personal health and wellbeing. Please be considerate of our brothers and sisters in Christ who wear face coverings and those who choose not to wear one. We will continue to ensure that you and your family will have a clean and sanitized environment for worship. Hand sanitizing stations and face masks will continue to be available at all entrances. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.
