The Academy of Ministry Management (AMM)—formerly the Academy of Church Business Administration—has been reimagined to equip today’s pastors and church leaders with the practical tools needed to lead thriving ministries.

Rooted in the connectional strength of The United Methodist Church, AMM brings together experienced leaders from across the denomination to offer real-world training in essential operational areas that sustain and strengthen ministry.

This is not theory; this is hands-on, ministry-focused learning designed for the realities of leading a church today.

Faithful leadership requires more than calling—it requires clarity, strategy, and strong management skills.

 

The 2026 AMM is held in Nashville, Tennessee!

We look forward to welcoming you!
