UPDATE: MS TORNADO RESPONSE
Looking Forward Together will provide connection and collaboration among young male and female ministry leaders in the PCA, in order to preemptively address critical issues the denomination will face in the next 10 years.
We recognize that both our culture and our denomination are facing rapid changes. In order to address the ministry, social, demographic, and technological changes we need creative and gospel centered strategies. This Summit will provide opportunities for young ministry leaders to unify, cross-pollinate, and collaborate on these strategies. To promote unity, the Summit will include corporate worship, vision casting, dinner groups, and casual fellowship opportunities. To promote cross-pollination, the Summit will include a pre-summit resource page and peer-led panels on site. To promote collaboration, the Summit will include robust table discussions and opportunities to join ongoing working groups. These groups will meet virtually over the next year to produce resources and offer recommendations for the future of the PCA.
