Vitality Team Open Forum: When Church Stops Working
2023-10-21 10:30 - 12:00
Join members of the Vitality Team and the Conference of Deans for a discussion of Andrew Root’s new book When Church Stops Working: A Future for Your Congregation beyond More Money, Programs, and Innovation. On Saturday October 21st we will gather on Zoom for a discussion of Dr. Root’s key points and take-aways from his book. We will explore how his approach to doing church relates to both the work of mission in the church and the biblical roots for discerning what God would have us do in this time when it feels like the church isn’t working anymore. Join us for this hope filled conversation about how we can bolster the spirit of God working in our congregations, our people and in our communities. All are welcome – even if you haven’t read the book!

2023-01-12 13:00 - 14:00
We are excited to invite you to an upcoming Lunch & Learn webinar in partnership with Springtide Research Institute, ELCA Youth Ministry Network and ELCA Youth Ministry.
On January 12, 2023, at noon CST, Springtide Research Institute will share their latest research on “Caring for Gen Z in a Post Pandemic World.” For many young people, there is no normal to return to after the pandemic. Their entire lives have changed. Springtide’s pandemic research focused on what young people are experiencing, how they view the future, and most importantly, what you can do to support them. We invite you as ministry leaders and volunteers to come together for this virtual event to strengthen the ministries you are a part of and discover how we can best tend to the young people and communities we serve.
Join us as we learn together from this research and share in a brief Q&A time with our Springtide Researchers!
