United Church of Christ Congregations sit at the intersections of service and justice in their local communities, and we will honor that at this gathering, which will include worship, church business, and celebrations of our work together. It will be a gathering of hope.
We welcome Keynote Speaker Jamar Doyle as we lift up the on-the-ground-work of our local churches and the United Church of Christ-related Health and Human Services agencies. Attendees will leave with inspired, Pentecostal hope for our churches and our faith.
