Mission Breakfast: Building the Beloved Community

Mission Breakfast: Building the Beloved Community

Start your morning at Annual Conference with a time of fellowship, storytelling, and meaningful conversation.

The Mission Breakfast is an invitation to gather around the table as we reflect on what it means to move forward with hope and participate in building the Beloved Community together.

Hosted by the Rio Texas Conference Transforming Communities and Uniting Peoples Vision Teams and the Anti-Racism & Equity Coalition, this complimentary breakfast is made possible through the generous support of Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas.

About the Theme

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.”
— Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Beloved Community is not just a future hope. It is a present calling. Rooted in the love of Christ, it calls us to pursue justice, equity, and flourishing for all people.

What would it look like for our churches and communities to live this out together?
