Welcome to the Capitol Area South District
|
Our Mission:
The mission of the Capitol Area South District is to encourage and equip United Methodist congregations in their mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
Our Vision:
The vision of the Capitol Area South District is that all local churches are to be disciple-making centers that mirror the demographic composition of the community in which they are located in terms of age, ethnicity, and cultural background; and that the congregations continually grow and reach new people for Christ and strive to be open and inclusive of all God's children.
On this website you will find information and resources for the Capitol Area South District, the West Ohio Annual Conference, and the United Methodist Church.

 Updates on San Luis Mission ProjectThe Capitol Area South District is in a partnership with the Methodist congregation in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The congregations of the CAS District have raised over $20,000 to assist with the construction of a meeting place for this congregation.
Pastor Lorenzo and his wife Veronica will visit on the district during September 18-27, 2010.
We are also seeking to raise funds to supplement Pastor Lorenzo's salary during the next three years so that he can serve the three mission congregations that he is now serving on a full time basis (currently he works another job).
Click HERE to find out more information about the San Luis project and how you and your congregation can be involved.
