Exploration is a gathering of young adults ages 18-26 who are considering whether God is calling them to ordained ministry in The United Methodist Church. The event includes meaningful fellowship, passionate worship, theological reflection, and practical workshops. 

The gathering is provided by the United Methodist General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. Your apportionment giving makes this opportunity possible for young adults and the future of The United Methodist Church.
