Vitality Day 2019 - Get Registered Today!

Growing Your Community Impact

The church of the future will not stay inside the building. It may not even have a building of its own. The church of the future will be an integral part of the community in which it lives, moves and has its being. Parish will take on new meaning and ministry will be flexible, responsive and creative, focused on mission, local and global. It will require of us not so much an invitation “in”, but a an outreach that models Jesus’ ministry. Discipleship in its purest form.

What will this look like, practically speaking?

The Rev. Dr. Claire W. Bamberg, LMFT, PCC will be our presenter. She will make available resources for establishing and evaluating Community Impact through creative networking. The design she will present is intended to help those who use it to develop initiatives that respond to deep needs, and in doing so, create programs rooted in the wider community. The goal here? To do our jobs so well, we work ourselves out of being “the one” to keep it going. Come ready to share ideas, listen well, work collaboratively and leave energized. This is the kind of Vitality initiative that will benefit from multiple leaders from any given congregation taking part in the day. There will be some small group work.

Come, join in the fun. This good, challenging work will yield, for your congregation, a real opportunity to go back and enter into the creation of a new initiative.
