Our regional monthly zooms have been so good! Our Connection, Inspiration, and Training focused monthly space has both new or emerging leaders and veteran practitioner participation from across the region. Professional CCD leaders, pastors, lay leaders, and students are finding this time valuable for their practice.
Wednesday, February 8 is our Next Meet-up on Zoom!

Tickets & Registration
Join us for an evening with Rev. Dr. Soong-Chan Rah, as he leads us through “Conversations of Unsettling Truths.”
Dr. Rah and Mark Charles have blessed the American Church with a book that brings measures of grace and truth to reconcile and wrestle with. This book is a great place to begin reexamining the role of the American church, which has stayed silent or was silenced in the face of difficult national moments. Join us as we hear from Rev. Dr. Rah about how this book has been received, how it has been used, and what surprises or challenges it has revealed.
The evening will include dinner, an address by Rev. Dr. Soong-Chan Rah, and a panel dialogue hosted by Rev. Dr. Liz Mosbo VerHage and Michael Won.
