2026 Belong Webinars

Resources to Build a Sacramental-Centered Culture of Discipleship

The Belong webinars are designed for those who desire to cultivate a culture of discipleship grounded in the United Methodist sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, lived out through the promises we make in our membership vows.

Each webinar explores how sacramental theology can shape the everyday practices of discipleship in your congregation. We hope to help leaders connect what happens at the font and the table with how people grow, serve, and live their faith throughout the week.

What these webinars offer

Each session is designed to move leaders from theological grounding to practical action. The webinars blend vision and application, helping participants translate sacramental theology into clear next steps for their congregation.

In each webinar, participants will experience:

• Brief theological framing that connects sacrament and discipleship
• Testimonial from a leader using Belong in their context
• Walkthrough of Belong resources
• Overview of video clips for churches to use to spark imagination and reflection
• Clear next steps for your congregation

Whether your church is just exploring Belong or already using parts of the series, these webinars are designed to meet you where you are and help you take the next faithful step in shaping a culture of discipleship.

Related Belong resources

Each webinar introduces the Belong resources as a flexible ecosystem that supports long-term discipleship formation, rather than a single prescribed pathway. Sessions will reference:

• Foundations books
• Explore books
• Workbooks
• Lesson plans
• Videos

These resources are introduced as tools for formation, not requirements for participation.
