What are people saying about Aldersgate Renewal Ministries (ARM) and its programs?

About Aldersgate Renewal Ministries:

"I have been associated with Aldersgate Renewal Ministries since 1980 when I attended my first Aldersgate Conference. ARM continues to be an integral part of my spiritual life and professional development. I have a deep appreciation for their ministry and gladly commend it to the whole Church."
Rev. Steve Breon
First UMC, Joplin, Missouri

"ARM is one of the dynamic ways God is presently revitalizing the UMC. Through its ministries thousands have been drawn closer to God, found renewal in the Spirit, and been empowered for faithful and effective ministry. I am grateful to God for all that ARM has meant to our denomination."
Dr. Hal Knight
Professor of Wesleyan Studies, Saint Paul School of Theology

"The words of God's Spirit are blowing in creative and renewing ways in the United Methodist movement. ARM is one of the wonderful channels for the transformation of congregations through resources, such as the Lay Witness Missions. I am grateful for all the ways they serve Christ, our church and world."
Bishop Peter D. Weaver
Boston Area, Council of Bishops President

About Pastor & Spouse Retreat:

"Recently my wife and I attended a clergy spuse conference sponsored by ARM. We were both refreshed and inspired by the sessions, speakers and the positive interaction between clergy and their spouses. I'm so thankful for Gary Moore and the staff. I applaud the good efforts of ARM and endorse their good work."
Rev. Garry Masterson
Hardy Memorial UMC, Texarkana, Texas

"Last Fall, (2001) when I was very close to a professional 'burn-out,' my wife and I attended the ARM Pastors' and Spouses' Retreat in Nashville. In addition to great worship and superb teaching, I received a fresh wind that has empowered my ministry and enlivened my church! I might well be leaving the ministry now had it not been for the anointed ministries of Aldersgate."
Rev. Glen Haworth
Chino UMC, Chino, California

"During the first week of April 2002, my wife Sue and I attended a Pastor and Spouse Retreat at the ARC in Goodlettsville. When we arrived we were both tired and stressed out from the demands of ministry. My wife and I each came away encouraged and incredibly refreshed. I am now experiencing a joy that is more vibrant and enduring than I have ever known before. I feel like I am now ministering out of the overflow of God's Spirit.
Pastor David Dow

"Pastors burn out for a number of reasons but one of the most important is lack of fellowship and accountability. This program is designed to meet that need."
Robert G. Tuttle, Jr., Ph. D.
Professor, Asbury Theological Seminary

About Lay Witness Mission:

"Our recent Lay Witness Mission at Taylor Chapel UMC at Fort Wayne, Indiana, touched many lives and helped the church to see our Lord and Savior in the faces of the people. The witnesses did a great job of creating a loving and caring attitude. We are indeed thankful for your work and the overseeing of the Lay Witness Mission program."
Pastor Bill Farmer
Taylor Chapel UMC, Fort Wayne, Indiana
