2017 National Gathering: Living, Dying, Rising

2017 National Gathering: Living, Dying, Rising

Living, Dying, Rising, the 1001 New Worshiping Communities annual conference, outlines the story of the life of Christ and also the life of the church. Through the Holy Spirit, the church is freed from fear and invited to journey confidently into new territory as missionaries of shalom.

The conference, which finds its scriptural basis in John 20:19-23, will be held at TradeWinds Island Grand Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida, August 7-10, 2017. Presenters will include the Rev. Juan Sarmiento, associate director for mission, The Outreach Foundation; the Rev. Aisha Brooks-Lytle of Wayne Presbyterian Church, organizing pastor of The Common Place, a faith-based educational outreach and community center in Philadelphia; and the Revs. Jeya and Daniel So, a pastor couple at the Anchor City Church, a New Worshiping Community in San Diego, who have an amazing vision for church planting. The Rev. Abby King-Kaiser, a dynamic leader in campus ministry at Xavier University, will coordinate worship.
