We Start and Strengthen Churches Together

Watch Here
IT IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
In just two weeks we will be meeting again for our Annual Gathering. This year our Theme is Together. Of course you know that I think it is very important for our Northwest churches and leaders to understand our cooperative work and to attend. Also we have a lot of great stories to tell. I hope you will come. Personally I think it has never been more important that we all work together for advancing the Kingdom. 

And if possible, invite as many people as possible to join you for the free evening of Oct 23rd. 6:00 PM, at Bethany Baptist Church in Puyallup we will meet for a joyful celebration. Hear great stories. Be inspired by the new directions God is leading. Hear from one of the great young leaders of Converge; Darryn Scheske. Darryn is the Pastor of Heartland Church in Indianapolis, IN. 

Relationships - Vision - Encouragement - Leadership - Mission - Strategy - Inspiration - Ownership. Joyful Effectiveness.  This is your conference. Let's Work Together!

It is not too late to  REGISTER for our Annual Gathering 2015!  Join us as we celebrate Together what God has done through us!

It was an advertisement in that newsletter that got her thinking.
