I think the title says it all, right? This is about events.
REGIONAL FORUMS
Churches have a unique opportunity to do in our communities what no other group or agency can do.
Having worked for 20 years in Christian social services, our new Community Ministries Team Leader, Ruby Duncan, would like to facilitate a conversation between pastors, elders, trustees, community ministry leaders and any who want to participate in a discussion towards discovering the way God calls local churches to impact their own neighbourhood in the name of Christ in ways social services can never do.The discussion could include:
- Evaluation of what you are currently doing
- Different models of community involvement in order to place your own and what you would like to try – hearing about some other effective ministries around the country.
- What’s happened to evangelism….
- Funding issues
- Health and safety basics
- Trusts and church relationships.
This is not a seminar or another opportunity for someone else to tell you how it’s done, but more of an opportunity to connect with others who are trying different things and thinking strategically about what is effective.
Registration for these forums will open late June.
