Events & Resources

Summits

Summits are in-person gatherings that convene teams of congregational leaders committed to becoming a more welcoming worshipping community and to nurturing the faith of children through worship and prayer. Our time together will be marked by engaging

• biblical and theological exploration,

• deep listening and critical conversations,

• cultural and contextual realities of challenges and possibilities, and

• best practices and emerging ideas.

From this we intend to foster leadership, to discern what resources need to be developed and experiences offered, and to provide foundations for beginning, strengthening, and sustaining the journey of nurturing children through worship and prayer.
