Fall Leadership Conference 2024
Cost : $150
Rooted in Jesus
In a time of uncertainty and division, our mission to look, live and love like Jesus Christ has never been more important. The Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers will help us to fulfill that calling by exploring the many ways our core ministries – evangelism, racial justice, authentic diversity, and compassionate conversation across difference – powerfully reflect the heart of God and the way of Jesus. Join us for a time of learning and renewal for faith leaders from our synod – including lay members and staff, council presidents, pastors and deacons!
Registration closes Monday, September 30 at 11:59 pm.
