Dear Friend,
NEXT Church has always been committed to gathering. We know the power of bringing people together in a space to name the blessings and challenges in our midst in order to uncover a vision for the future.
We believe it truly is better when we go together.
SAVE THE DATE!
We are excited to announce a National Gathering taking place in Grand Rapids, Michigan! From November 11-14, 2025, leaders from all across the Church will learn alongside those asking similar questions, naming the very real/ pressing challenges, and hoping to uncover strategies to bring about wholeness as we do the work ahead. Our time together will create the space to cultivate individual and communal transformation.
We don’t know what 2025 will bring, but we know that we need one another in order to face what is ahead. Here at NEXT Church, your help is necessary to ignite change across the Church! I invite you to become a monthly donor to NEXT Church as you consider the ways you will engage. The Impact Club is a group of people dedicated to the ways of being we are embodying. Members have access to virtual gatherings, exclusive offers on new resources and programs, and serve as regular listening partners as we seek to enact our vision.
When you make a one-time or regular contribution, you give to a movement of leaders making change a reality. Thank you for your generosity and confidence in what we do!
In the Journey,
Larissa Kwong Abazia
Executive Director
🚨ICYMI
These are extraordinary times. In response, Anna Kendig Flores and Larissa Kwong Abazia are creating space alongside People of Color. Together, the group will explore individual and shared stories; consider coalition building among our communities, and breathe new ways of being into reality. This learning community is designed to foster individual and communal health for People of Color who move and work in white-dominant spaces and/or spaces of color where dismantling the practices of white supremacy culture are still developing.
