NEXT Church seeks to strengthen the relational fabric of the Church – connecting healthy tissue to healthy tissue. We believe making sustainable change and transformation leading to justice is possible when people gather together around a common purpose. Roundtable conversations create opportunities for people of faith to connect together – not to hear from an expert – but to engage with one another in honest conversation, faithful discernment, and generative discussion.

Roundtable Conversations are one hour long. There is no charge, but registration is required. Conversations will be facilitated on Zoom by NEXT Church staff. Because these conversations are designed for active participation – Roundtables will not be recorded.

New Roundtable Conversations will be added on an on-going basis. Check back for up-coming conversations.

EMBRACING CHANGE FOR RURAL CHURCHES

There’s a big difference between a church that wishes for the past and a church that decides to live in a new reality. How do we make that shift? Join a conversation around embracing new life and new models for rural churches. Conversation led by Catherine Neelly Burton
