How do you lead your church today and help it move forward in a faithful and positive way? How might your congregation better engage the new, younger and more diverse people that live in your community?
We live in a time that some describe as VUCA: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. Despite these conditions, God calls the church to be led by the Spirit and find a faithful next step or two.
Join congregations from around our synod for Future-Focused Church: a day anyone who has responsibility for the future of the church (church council members, planning committees, pastors, and deacons). Come and learn how to lead, plan, and move forward together with someone who literally wrote the book on doing just that.
Come learn, connect, and imagine what God may be calling your congregation to become.
Register to attend before the registration deadline: Friday, October 16 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
