Fall Theological Conference
Flipping the Script
Whether we like it or not, God has flipped the script on what it means to be church. The goal has been to attract members to join the congregation, financially support the institution, and be active in the organization’s scheduled events. This model of church has disintegrated in our lifetime.

Fresh Expressions
Join Rev. Dr. Michael Adam Beck, Director of Fresh Expressions for the United Methodist Church, for monthly sessions that will provide a practical toolkit, training, and resources. More than just a seminar or training, this is an initiative, an equipping, empowering, and sending experience!
