Register for the 2009 School of Congregational Development

The United Methodist School of Congregational Development, sponsored by the Joint Committee on Congregational Development, is an annual event aimed at helping annual conferences and congregations "grow the church" through new congregational starts and the strengthening of existing congregations.

The next School of Congregational Development will be held July 29-August 2, 2009 at the Orrington Hotel in Evanston, Illinois, and will be hosted by the Northern Illinois Annual Conference and Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.

The Joint Committee for Congregational Development works with annual conferences and congregations to form new faith communities and revitalize existing churches. It is made up of staff from the General Board of Discipleship and the General Board of Global Ministries. Get more congregational development resources at newchurchumc.org.
