2027 Annual Conference

Faith communities are challenged with conflict that escalates into unresolved differences. We live in an age of polarization – economically, politically, socially, etc. How do we move beyond conflict that stifles our mission? How do we navigate polarization that builds factions instead of building up the body of Christ? How do we reach out to our communities that may have grown into a very different population from the congregation?

Join rostered leaders serving congregations in various settings (settled leaders, interims, bridge, etc.) to hear another perspective on these topics:

♰ Building Resilient Congregations
♰ Leading in an Age of Polarization
♰ Congregations Engaging their Communities

by David Brubaker, Professor Emeritus, who has served with several community development and conflict transformation organizations. This conference is not just for interim pastors (intentional, transitional, etc.). These topics will resonate with rostered leaders serving and leading God’s people in faith communities and other organizations.
