WHO’S INVITED: Everyone! Church members, elders, pastors, CREs, committee members, etc.—you are all welcome! 

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Our congregations share common opportunities and challenges—and a wealth of experience. These chats provide space for meaningful conversation around key ministry topics. Come to listen, learn, and share what you’ve discovered through your own congregation’s ministries. Each session will be gently facilitated, with lots of time for open conversation. 

Let’s Chat About... 

JUNE 23, 2025 7-8 PM NURTURING NEW LEADERS IN YOUR CONGREGATION Is your Nominating Committee finding it hard to “fill the slots” on your session and other leadership bodies? Do you tend to have the same people doing everything in the church? Are you thinking about extending people’s leadership terms past their six years? Let’s chat and share ideas for nurturing new leaders.

JULY 28, 2025 7-8 PM CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AND FAITH FORMATION How can we provide opportunities for busy congregation members to grow in their faith? Are you exploring new approaches to bible study and adult education? Do you have a Confirmation Class or need ideas for confirming one or two youth? What strategies can help engage families with school-age children? Let's chat about creative ways to nurture faith for every generation. 

AUGUST 25, 2025 7-8 PM BEING AN ELDER COMMISSIONER TO OUR PRESBYTERY Have you been asked to serve as a commissioner from your congregation to a presbytery meeting? Are you unsure what that means or hesitant to say “yes”? Or do you LOVE this role and want to share why you serve? Let's chat about being a commissioner, preparing for a presbytery meeting, and the importance of shared leadership between ruling elders and ministers in our denomination. 

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 7-8 PM SMALL CHURCHES DOING BIG THINGS! Are you a “small church” (however you define that!)? Are you excited about a ministry that you are doing and could share how you’re making it happen? Are you dreaming about a ministry but not sure you can make it happen? Let’s chat about small churches imagining and doing big things!
