All Things New
All Things New is a core strategy to help the Virginia Conference live into its vision of having “faith communities where all God’s people are welcomed at table, nurtured and transformed to be Christ to others in the world.”

All Things New is:
• A proclamation of faith in the abundance of God’s grace through Jesus Christ
• A reclaiming of our United Methodist heritage as a missionary movement of God’s Holy Spirit
• A vision for spiritual renewal through an invitation for all churches to be fruitful and to multiply
• Our conference’s response to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and to the teachings from the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-29)
• An outline of what must be done to shift from a culture of maintenance to one of mission and fruitfulness
