Church Administration has set the dates for U.S. district conferences this year. On each weekend, the conferences begin midday Friday and run until midday on Sunday.
Plenary sessions will include the following: The WCG as a Denomination; Growing in Pastoral Ministry; Future of the WCG--Toward a Spiritually Based Vision and Strategy; Finances--Present Realities, Future Possibilities; and Preaching.
Breakout sessions will include topics such as enhancing worship services, local church administration and women's sessions.
Although this is a required conference for WCG pastors, we encourage elders, other ministry leaders and members to attend (pending space availability). Congregational leaders who cannot make their regional conference would be welcome to attend a conference in another area (pending space availability).
If you have questions about the conference, please contact your pastor or the conference coordinator listed at right. Following is a list of dates, locations, regions and coordinators.
