Addressing Racial Divisions In The Church
A Note From Our President:
"Our One Day Forums are designed for ministry leaders from both the local church and para-church environments. All senior leaders, including board members and senior leadership teams, are welcome to attend and take part. The forum is meant to be a meaningful and safe environment where differing opinions can be wrestled through in honest and grace-filled discussions. As you consider joining us, please do so with a heart for learning. We are not interested in conformity of thought, but collaborative unity through mutual understanding and thoughtful discourse. We strongly believe that you don't have to agree on all matters to join together in Gospel activity that reaches a community for Jesus. If you agree, you will not want to miss this very special day."
DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK, WE HAVE REACHED THE CONCLUSION TO CANCEL THIS EVENT TO ENSURE EVERYONE'S HEALTH AND WELFARE.
