Ministry In A Changing World is an initiative of our Presbytery sponsored by the Church Development Team. Its purpose is to assist our churches in doing ministry in a changing world, and it is directly related to the Presbytery's vision, "We fearlessly follow the Holy Spirit into a Changing World." The main components of this initiative are one-day plenary sessions for all churches - the first of which was held on April 28, 2012 - and cohorts groups of four churches which will go through an assessment, visioning, and implementation process with the assistance of trained coaches with leadership from TAG Consulting. If your church is interested in taking part in a Cohort Group, please check out the Initiative's webpage. Churches taking part in Cohort Group 1 should also check the page for updated information concerning your group.
