Executive Team
Our Executive team provides leadership for the agency and works closely with staff and leaders from across the church to extend and expand the ministry of The United Methodist Church by creating new products and developing new communications programs.
Human Resources
The Human Resources Team recognizes the importance of good working conditions. A vital part of its task is ensuring that the right person is in the right job. Just as significant are the team's comprehensive special services: recruitment, payroll and benefits management, compensation planning, affirmative action compliance, and planning and coordination of internships and some staff training.
All of the team's work is directed at making United Methodist Communications a productive efficient church agency and fulfilling its mandate: to communicate faith through a variety of talents and resources.
