Join Bishop Michael Burk as he leads a time of conversation focused on creating a deeper understanding of what it means to walk together as we are Led by the Spirit to fulfill the mission of Christ’s church.  In addition to time in a large group setting, each gathering will also provide an opportunity for congregations within each conference to engage with one another, form connections, and make decisions.  This event is for all members and combines the annual conference assembly and The Evening with the Bishop from prior years.

Please see Pastor Chad with questions or if you plan to attend.  Unfortunately, due to a Wedding Rehearsal at Bethany scheduled prior to this event being scheduled Pastor Chad will be unable to attend.  Please prayerfully consider attending and representing the faithful people of God at Bethany among the wider church.  Thank you!
