Engage with Our Diverse Convention

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. — 2 Corinthian 4:8 - 9

We are living in a wonderful time to be a person of faith. There is so much to be done, and there are so many opportunities to show the light and love of the God we serve to the world. Yes, we are being pulled in many directions. Yes, we must plan. Yes, we need financial resources. But, moving forward the agenda of Christ requires people of faith willing to do the work. How do we settle our spirits, with all the distractions, to press to mark of the high calling? How can we strengthen our church? I recommend you engage with our diverse Convention. Our diversity is a rare and precious jewel that, even though it is not perfect, provides us with opportunities to explore possibilities.

One example of how we are supporting our members is the Annual Gathering where we’ll share the tools to enhance our peace of mind and sooth our souls. Another example is by sharing thoughts and ideas with one another during the monthly Pastor Chats. Our amazing committee chairs are fortifying our Conventions pillars, and the work of the committee members is shaping our future. We have workshops, disaster relief training and much more. I encourage you to come to the Annual Gathering. You will be glad you did.

Be Blessed. Be God’s.
