District Superintendent’s Report
B.3
THIS PAST YEAR
The Wisconsin District exists to “Glorify God by developing healthy, reproducing churches”. There are many wonderful things happening across the denomination and in many places across Wisconsin. The Wesleyan 7 –pack remain the big rocks of focus for all of us: 1) Leaders living authentic Christian lives, 2) Believers filled with the Holy Spirit, 3) Ethnic diversity, 4) Urban urgency, 5) Church health, 6) Church planting and 7) Prayer. Here in Wisconsin, we are committed to helping make all of these a part of our DNA. There have been many positives happen in the churches and ministries across the district, as well as difficult challenges. Life and ministry is always like that – real, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes challenging, but, in the end, extremely fulfilling if we are serving the Lord. The annual detailed statistical report is available to you on line and in your delegate notebooks. In addition to that, in July we will be providing you with graphs which will give each church a good tool to use in tracking the trend and other significant information about their own church, including the three missional measurements we have been tracking to tell us how we are really doing – average weekend worship attendance, salvations, and baptisms. I will highlight this in my oral report. Because numbers are people, here are some statistics from the past year that we can celebrate collectively:
Easter Sunday we had a total attendance of 5,982
Membership increased by 2.4%
Weekend worship attendance rose to 4,157, an increase of 8.3%
People making decisions to follow Christ – 450, an increase of 29.1% over last year
People baptized – 190, an increase of 8.9% over last year
18 churches grew, 7 of those by 10% or more Other things to celebrate are:
One new church was started. North Ridge, pastored by Brent Bickel, was launched last fall after having several monthly preview services through the spring and summer. Starting as a parachute drop, they have continued to touch and reach new people. The new congregation is meeting in the Village Center in Waunakee, in north Dane County. Brent and Laura and the leadership team are working hard and working together to make a difference in north Dane County.
We welcomed three new senior/solo pastors this year – Dan Williamson at Our Saviors, Chris Sherrick at Pardeeville and Nathan Swartz at Sand Lake. They have all jumped in full force to lead their churches to become more missional and reach people for Christ.
Sand Lake celebrated their 30th anniversary. This church in Onalaska (north of La Crosse) was birthed
out of a small group of people from the Mt. Pisgah church in Ontario, WI.
The Wisconsin Women’s Retreat was an incredible two days, featuring three powerful personal testimonies from ladies in our local churches. Reenie, along with her committee, did a great job.
Kids Camp and Youth Camp were both outstanding weeks for our students. Lives were touched and decisions for Christ were made. Jeremy Mavis led the kids’ camp and Chopper Brown led the youth camp, along with their staffs, to provide impacting weeks. This year, there are plans to redevelop a kids’ camp that is at a time and location for kids from the southern part of the state to participate.
The Fountain, a two year old church plant, purchased, renovated and moved into their new facilities this year. It is a beautiful building with space for sanctuary, children, youth, nursery, offices, small group meeting space and an entry. They have done a great job re-fitting it from a fitness center to a ministry center. Pastor Matt Ohime and his team continue to grow the ministry there in Bloomer, WI. Many thanks go to Eau Claire and Red Cedar for the investment they have made in helping give birth to the church.
Alan and Irene Tripp, after over 40 years of ministry in the Wisconsin District, are stepping out of full-time service. They have served faithfully both in local churches and in many different capacities in the district. 31 years were in service to one circuit - Burr and Valley. A year ago, the two churches merged. Alan and Irene gave of themselves to the people they pastored, the communities they served, and the district they love. A celebration in their honor will be held at the Burr Wesleyan Church on Saturday afternoon, June 22 at 2 PM. They are top-of-the-line people, pastoral team and champions of the district.
The River Church completed their building expansion.
Red Cedar purchased property for future expansion out on Hwy 53.
District Superintendent’s Report

Transformation City’s non-profit ministry Inhabit received and renovated another ministry house in Milwaukee, and launched “Exploit No More”, a non-profit ministry in the community to combat human trafficking.
Three churches discontinued their ministry this year: Westbrooke, Lakeshore and Eastman. Though the ministry of the Westbrooke congregation has discontinued, Casa de Restauracion, whom Westbrooke invested in, continues to use the facilities and continues to grow. Lakeshore had their final public service this spring and the congregation has been blessing other churches in Wisconsin in many ways through their continuing generosity. Much of their equipment, materials, books, and furniture have been donated mostly to newer developing churches around the district. Eastman will also be discontinuing ministry as a Wesleyan church this summer, and we will continue to work with them in the transition. I want to commend Pastor Gerry Krupp at Westbrooke and Pastors Richard Concklin and Chris Bickett for doing a wonderful job of continuing to intentionally serve and love the people of Westbrooke and Lakeshore long after the public services stopped. Steve and Anita Ayling, the Hispanic ministry pastor at Rice Lake Red Cedar and Cumberland Northern Lakes, has also stepped down and will be returning to Pennsylvania, due to lingering health concerns. Two pastors’ wives from our district passed away this year – Mrs. Barbara Crail, wife of Rev. David Crail, and Mrs. Lauris Anderson, wife of the late Rev. Charles Anderson. They were faithful to the Lord, faithful to their husbands and faithful to the call of the Lord on the lives of their husbands. The Shack, this year, is moving from a district mission to a mission under the Hayward Wesleyan Church. Leadership and care will continue to be provided through the ongoing relationships forged between Hayward and the people of Lac Courte Oreilles.
GLOBAL PARTNERS We continue to ease back on our presence and participation in Nicaragua, allowing and encouraging them to become more self-sufficient. Financially, we are cutting back 20% per year with our district support. We are dropping back to one medical team trip this year. And, for the first time, we did not participate in the pastor’s training event in January. It is interesting that, even though we have not sent construction teams in recent years, there is a growing desire for small, short term teams to go in and help start and work on projects again. What is affirming is that Mike and Amy Knox continue to give strong leadership to the ongoing work and training on the field. Also, Ryan and Sarah Schmitz have gone to Nicaragua to serve this new field. What is also very encouraging is that there are multiple churches and individuals from all over the US who are traveling to Nicaragua to assist in the work there. Osman Zamora, who attended and spoke at last year’s Conference, is the District Coordinator for Nicaragua. Part of the vision he and the Junta (their board) have is to build more schools that are tied closely into the ministry of the local church. The dream is to raise up a new generation who really understand the Scriptures, the Gospel and will lead and live out those Biblical values of Christianity in that culture. I am also very proud of Richard Concklin and the Nicaragua partnership committee for a great job of fanning the flame for Nicaragua.
LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD In the past 12 years we have closed 8 churches, merged 1 and planted 11 (one of which did not make it). In spite of the closed churches, our attendance has grown by 20%. Of the 9 churches that closed or merged, the average attendance at the time of the closing/merger was 28. Refocusing was attempted in 2 of those, but it was not successful in either case. Even though the reasons varied as to the decline of the churches (demographic shifts, etc.), the main reason is that, even though the churches continued on a declining trajectory, there was no intervention plan until it seemed too late to try to turn it around. We have had to make some tough decisions, and I grieve over the decisions to discontinue the ministry of a local church because of the impact on the remaining congregants. However, those churches are leaving a legacy in the new ones that have been started. The loss of average attendance from the 9 churches is 259. The gain from the 10 new ones is 1,635. Even as we closed churches, I met with the leadership teams at established churches to challenge them to become missional – to look at what their money is going toward, to look at whether they are reaching people or not, and whether they are touching and helping “the least of these” in their communities. This year, 2/3 of our churches grew. This is exciting for me, but there is a lot more to do. We are moving into a new era for the Wisconsin District. We have been more aggressive in church planting, but have needed to figure out how to

assess churches and then, how to challenge, confront, coach, consult and help those who are either leveled out or in decline. I will be sharing our ideas and strategies in my oral presentation at the closing rally at District Conference.

Madam Chairman, Members of the Annual District Conference of The Wisconsin District of The Wesleyan Church, and guests: I continue to serve the District in my role as Assistant District Superintendent, giving assistance and input to Pastor Bickel when requested, serving as a member of the District Board of Administration as well as Chairperson of the District Board of Ministerial Development, and responding to questions or correspondence at the district and national level. As you may know, this is the first year the District Board of Ministerial Development implemented the aligning of expectations of students in the Wisconsin DBMD process with the parameters laid out by The Discipline of The Wesleyan Church, and it has gone very well. I am pleased, and thankful, and affirming of the students here in Wisconsin, in the way they have responded across the board in meeting the requirements for taking the minimum number of classes expected, as well as reporting to the DBMD in a timely fashion. My hat is off to all involved. I believe, in the big picture, we are on a path which will serve us, and people, better. Just a few weeks ago, I was in an all-day meeting with the District Board of Ministerial Development. I was reminded again of the quality people we have, faithfully and sacrificially serving in various venues in our district. I want to communicate my gratitude to the team of good people with whom I serve. Respectfully submitted, Ronald W. Gormong Assistant District Superintendent

Evangelism & Church Growth
B.25
In March, Dan Bickel asked me to fill in temporarily as the E & CG Director for the District following Craig Coe’s departure.
Although I only filled this position for a brief time, it was a wonderful experience for me. I was amazed when I contacted our church planters, to hear their inspiring stories, challenges and plans. It was an honor to connect with them, looking for ways the Wisconsin District could better serve them in the mission. Resourcing, I’ve discovered is a significant, and important challenge for us.
I met with Dan Bickel on more than one occasion, to specifically discuss issues of church multiplication and health. I applaud him for thinking outside the box, as he looks for ways to inspire our Wisconsin churches towards congregational health and church planting, which has been proven to be the single most effective means of evangelism.
In coming months, initiatives will be launched to encourage our established congregations to identify areas that are hindering them in the mission, and provide guidance for addressing them.
We will also continue to identify new sites for potential church planting. Our church plants are thriving, and for this we praise the Lord! Multiplying new congregations is hard work - but definitely worth it!

Adult Spiritual Formation
B.26
We are living in times where the church is beginning to experience some renewal in the area of discipleship/spiritual formation. I see this renewal of discipleship not being relegated to a particular program (such as Sunday school, small groups, etc.) or delegated to a specific kind of person or minister (discipleship pastor or SS director). Rather, this renewal that is being birthed sees discipleship as a two pronged-strategy created by Jesus. First, that we would be with Him and be equipped by Him. Second, that we would be sent out to do what He did in His name.
Unfortunately, too many churches have assumed that using terms like discipleship and formation are enough. But, it’s not enough to simply use language of Jesus, but fail to put into his strategy. It’s my hope that every church might sit down as brothers and sisters and honestly assess whether they do or do not have a disciple-making culture being cultivated in their church. And, it would be my hope that this question might transcend Sunday school involvement, small group communities or the size of the congregation. The question must be whether we are seeing lives of spiritual infants move on to maturity in Christ, and seeing those maturing organically, yet intentionally becoming spiritual parents of new believers? If a church has a disciple-making culture, several generations of “relational investment” of disciples will worship under one roof. We should see faithful people, investing in others who will show themselves faithful by investing still in others. Cycles of disciples. . . A disciple-making culture is always a reproductive culture. Unless we are seeing generational disciple “cycles” happening in our midst we do not have a disciple-making church.
I would like to partner more effectively to help serve the churches in the Wisconsin district, but as I am adjusting to this role, I could use your input on how I can most be effective in serving you. I’m available by phone (715)934-2442 or email [email protected]. Any of you who know me, know that I would be passionate about conversing with you about disciple-making in the local church. I would enjoy partnering and sharing resources and training opportunities with anyone who's hungry to create a disciple-making culture in their church. If interested, I can provide a list of resources and training that we use at Hayward Wesleyan that have been effective in helping us nurture a culture of disciple-making disciples.

Youth Camp / Youth Spiritual Formation
B.27
What would you see if you showed up at camp? Playful fun, action, a cloud of dust at the hex ball area, kids playing basketball,
hanging out on the rock of ages, playing ultimate frisbee, time alone with God, worshipping teens, delicious food, smiles, smiles and more smiles!
What would you hear? Singing, screaming, talking, silence, worship, water splashing, water balloons splatting, basketballs bouncing, the voice of great speakers, laughter, laughter and more laughter!
A camp experience is something that everyone should see, feel, and enjoy at least once in their lives and the Wisconsin District Youth Camp is a unique experience! Tell your church, the teens, the parents and the kids that will soon be teens to be a part of the district camping experience! This last year we had Dave Ward as our camp speaker and the Band Loftland as the worship leaders, we had a wonderful camp and God really moved in our midst, with numerous recommitments to following Jesus (31) and a few new commitments(2). The theme for this last year was “Crisis” and our focus was on the crisis moments in life and effect of those moments on our walk with Jesus. We spent time in Matthew 7 and the familiar passage of the narrow and wide gate and the issues of destruction and life. Over all it was a great week! In December, teens from the Wisconsin District converged on the City of Louisville, KY and the “Follow 12” Wesleyan Youth Convention. We took over 50 teens and adults to the convention, where they were challenged to live out their faith and to follow unabashedly, the greatest leader, Jesus. It was a great convention, one filled with inspiring worship, challenging messages and commitments mde by thousands of teens. This summer’s camp will have a leadership transition Damien Gula, from Eau Claire Wesleyan Church will be taking over the mantle of leadership; he is going to do a great job and will lead the district well! Please be in prayer for the entire area of District Youth! Respectfully Submitted Rev. Chopper Brown Wisconsin District Spiritual Formation Director of Youth

Kids Camp / Child Spiritual Formation

What does 5-feet of rope, 108 upper elementary students, a "scary" gym teacher, about 40 adults, and tons of tie-dye have in common?
Kids Camp 2012!!
The theme for Kids Camp 2012 was "Why Knot Jesus?" and my friend, Dave Dixon, a Hayward Elementary Gym Teacher, brought the lessons. He curated 7 "knots" to teach the campers during each chapel service. Accompanying each knot was a Bible verse and a principle about God. It was simple, effective, concrete, and transferable. The counselors took those simple concepts and had great building discussion throughout the week.
We had 108 campers and 41 staff for the week. A number of students committed to tie their "knot" to Jesus ala, John 3:16.
One of the new things we did this year (building on a successful idea from last year) was purchase a domain name for camp - http://www.wikidscamp.org - and parked a blog-based website on there. Not only was it the central hub for info about Kids Camp 2012, but also the engine to register online as well as a place to post updates and videos and pictures throughout the week. Connected to the website is a Facebook page and a Twitter handle, providing multiple ways for parents and extended family to "see" and participate from a distance with the students at camp. Prior to camp, I posted the digital media and content from the past 4 years of WI Kids Camp and archived that information. I heard from many parents when I returned home from camp how much they appreciated seeing their children having fun at camp.
Leadership for WI Kids Camp got a shot in the arm this past year. Keetha Broyles stepped in and provided great leadership with the counselors as the head counselor. Liz Rick from Red Cedar brought her expertise and leadership to the craft arena as well as some great ancillary staff. Tom Dettle from Spooner led the experience classes and brought a number of staff to camp. Jeannette Atkinson from Gordon, even through a painful, personal tragedy, provided phenomenal leadership in the food service arena. Nurse Deb Leckel also served great as a our camp nurse.
Combined with a fantastic group of counselors and junior counselors and a few assistants, Kids Camp 2012 was a resounding success in terms of modeling a life committed to Christ and encouraging and teaching children some basic truths about God and His Word. If your church sent any children to camp, you should ask them to show you a couple of the knots and Bible verses they learned. Chances are, they'll know a few to show you!

Ministry success is always bittersweet. Someone has said that if you give a man a fish he eats for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he doesn’t need you anymore! That is exactly what we are experiencing with our Nicaraguan Partnership. The Nicaraguan Partnership was organized twelve years ago to literally plant a district of the Wesleyan Church in Nicaragua. We began by locating and encouraging independent pastors and congregations who shared our passion for outreach and evangelism. We invited them to join with us and built up a pattern of ministry that was repeated each year. In January we would hold a Pastor’s Seminar. We recruited Wisconsin pastors to spend a week in Nicaragua and teach everything from Theology to Christian Ed to Sermon Preparation. Each year we provided books and ministry aids to give them ongoing resources. Rev. Mark Holmes administered this program for us. In February we would send a double team, one was a medical team under the direction of Hannah Peterson and the other was a construction team recruited by Kent Peterson. A second medical team would return each September. Occasionally we would have a summer youth team, but that was erratic and, until Chopper Brown signed on, dependent upon one of our churches taking the lead. Ardys Noreen and Paul Noreen helped us with promotion; Al Tripp was our chairman and Irene Tripp our Treasurer. These folks and our team leaders have been the heart of our Nicaragua ministry and most have been involved from nearly the beginning. In FY 2012, we experienced a number of significant milestones. Under the direction of Mark Holmes the Pastoral Seminar team participated in the first graduation from the pastoral training program (five graduates), the first ordination program (four ordinands), and the first visit to the Nicaraguan field by a General Superintendent (Jo Anne Lyon). God has raised up Godly leaders for the church there. Pastor Senior Osman is our current District Director. He has a God-given vision for church growth and planting in Nicaragua. The Lord Jesus has also called two missionary families to Nicaragua—the Knox’s who are currently on home assignment and the Schmidt’s who have finished language study and have assumed ministry duties. The construction team phased itself out three years ago, as the Nicaraguans stepped up. The pastors’ seminar was not held this past January for the first time and the February medical team was merged with the September team. They are “learning to fish” and by God’s grace are needing us less. In recognition of this, Mark Holmes has resigned his duties with the Pastor’s seminar and we have started to look forward to how God may be leading us to our next mission focus as a district. In November an ad hoc group of people with a known interest in mission strategy (including the current members of the Partnership) met with Peter Moore from Global Partners to discuss options for the future. The time was spent debriefing the Nicaraguan experience and hearing about GP priorities. (Peter was all set to send us all to Egypt! You never know . . . ) Please join us in seeking directions as further discussions are organized for this year. If you want to participate, give me a call and I’ll add your name to the list. In September I attended the annual conference for Mission Directors. We got acquainted with Dennis Jackson, GP’s new general director and heard him articulate his vision for GP going forward. It was a good time and a joy to hear how God is using us around the world for his Kingdom.

Some give many hours during the year for ongoing responsibilities as a district official or serving on a committee. Some serve in the camps. Thus, we do not want to specify how and when they serve.

We have written in verbage to strengthen the promotion of encouraging volunteerism from the all of the churches, pastoral and laity.
