Calling all leaders of small churches in the Diocese of Southern Ohio! You are invited to join together for two days of worship, relationship building, collaboration, and learning with a specific focus on small church dynamics.
With teaching from the College for Congregational Development, congregations will learn tools for navigating healthy change, welcoming and incorporating all generations of newcomers, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ as a small church in a big way. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about how to nurture disciples through lay-led Bible study and other lay-led ministries, create solid partnerships with area churches, and make a difference in the world through community engagement.
The Rt. Rev. Craig Loya, bishop of the Diocese of Minnesota, will join as our keynote speaker on Friday evening.
