The United Methodist Foundation of Michigan is pleased to announce that the Rev. Brad Bartelmay will serve as the Senior Director of Mentored Learning. This newly created position is designed to support pastors and local church leaders with their ministry, vision, and leadership. Rev. Bartelmay will assist church leaders with implementing financial best practices. He will also intentionally mentor new pastors and pastors in transition to strengthen their financial understanding and steward leadership skills.

Rev. Bartelmay brings a wealth of experience in the practical financial ministries of the Church. He is widely respected throughout the Michigan Conference as the former chairperson of the Conference Finance and Administration Committee. He provided oversight during major staff transitions and the formation of a new annual conference. He has been deeply involved in streamlining Conference finances and working side-by-side with the Conference’s chief financial officer to ensure financial transparency and solvency for the future. In his most recent role as a Special Assistant to the Episcopal Office, Rev. Bartelmay has graciously walked alongside numerous church leaders during the disaffiliation process. He will continue in this role for the immediate future as he steps into his tenure with the Foundation.
