Join us on Zoom Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at noon for a roundtable discussion for leaders of churches with cemeteries. Let's share our questions, ideas, and wisdom!

The Small Church Resource Group is for leaders from our smallest churches (average Sunday attendance of less than 30). Every other month, we meet on Zoom to share what works and how we're responding to current challenges and opportunities. At our June meeting, we'll talk about our hopes for our congregations, experiments we'd like to try, and the challenges we're facing.

The College for Congregational Development trains clergy and lay leaders to develop healthy, faithful, sustainable congregations able to fulfill their calling to be the body of Christ in a particular place, time, and community.

Our Church Leadership Resource Group is open to clergy, staff, vestry, volunteers—anyone who leads in the parish! May's meeting will explore the congregational development model "Gather-Transform-Send." The model proposes that the primary task of a Christian congregation can be described this way: "The unique purpose and work of a congregation is to gather those called by God into Christ’s body, the Church—a community of transformation of mind, heart, and action—and to send these same people into the world both to be and to act as God’s loving and transforming presence."

The Small Church Resource Group is for leaders from our smallest churches (average Sunday attendance of less than 30). Every other month, we meet on Zoom to share what works and how we're responding to current challenges and opportunities. At our October meeting, we'll be looking ahead to Advent and Christmas.
