WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE ONA MOVEMENT? JOIN US AT NATIONAL ONA GATHERING TO FIND OUT!
Marriage equality was a magnificent achievement, but the right to marriage was a milestone on our journey, not the final destination.
So what's next for the Open and Affirming movement in the United Church of Christ? That's what this year's National ONA Gathering is all about. ONA congregations around the country will meet in St. Joseph to explore the issues that face us, to plan for the future, and to learn new ways we can make a difference in our communities.
I promise that National ONA Gathering 2016 will help you and your congregation revive your ONA spirit!

Churches in need of a reboot
Consider reVision
reVision is a congregational renewal process designed by the Center for Progressive Renewal to help your congregation live into it's fullest potential. Many churches can't afford specialized consultants. reVision is an affordable option that supports you guiding your own church through a renewal experience. For some churches, reVision is a "next step" for those who have completed a church assessment like "New Beginnings", "Crossroads" or "Holy Cow".
