In partnership with Discipleship Ministries, the Susquehanna Conference presents the One Matters Award to one church in each of our districts at Annual Conference.
This award has a strong focus on making disciples because, by integrating into the church body, an individual may experience the personal transformation to potentially engage in the church’s mission for the transformation of the world. While most Discipleship Ministries programs focus on existing members, OMA focuses on new members. After all, ONE Matters.
The following congregations received the One Matters Award in 2025:
Freedom Trail District
Salem Guldens UMC
Mountain Valley District
Covenant UMC, Lockhaven
North Central Rivers District
Eatonville UMC & Evans Falls UMC
Northern Wilds District
Millerton UMC
River Valley District
Faith UMC, Hallam
Millerton UMC
Northern Wilds District
In the small town of Millerton, nestled near the border of
New York, Millerton United Methodist Church may be modest in size - but it
overflows with life, faith, and love. This welcoming congregation is led by
Betsy Huels, a Certified Lay Minister who serves three churches while working
full-time. Her dedication to nurturing faith and community is inspiring.
Recently, Millerton's church family joyfully expanded. On Vision Sunday, two adults received the sacrament of baptism and six others became new members. The day was filled with celebration, dreaming about the future, and coming together to serve others by assembling food packages for those in need.
Moments like this remind us that hearts are still turning to
Christ, discipleship is growing, and leadears like Betsy - and congregations
like Millerton - are keeping the light of the Church burning brightly. Let us
celebrate their faithful witness.
