2017 Mission Summit Conversations to Highlight the Seven Denominational Priorities
This summer at the Biennial Mission Summit, the Mission Summit Conversations will showcase seven dedicated rooms for the seven denominational priorities: Anti-Violence, Discipleship, Ending Poverty, Gospel in a Rapidly Changing Society, Innovative Models of Pastoral Ministry, Next Generation of Leaders and Women in Ministry.
The Mission Summit Conversations are an open opportunity for anyone attending the 2017 Biennial Mission Summit to engage in meaningful dialogue about a topic of interest by self-selecting into a small group. As individuals register for the Biennial Mission Summit, they will be asked to also register for one of the Mission Summit Conversation topics. In order to better prepare for the conversations, delegates and participants are encouraged to review the case statement for their topic in advance of the event.
Click here to learn more and to view the case statements developed for each of the denominational priorities.
