SUMMARY:All Pastors Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Every Sunday you faithfully undertake the sacred calling of “proclaiming boldly the mystery of the Gospel” (Eph. 6:19). Does it feel like people are listening? Every prophet and preacher faces difficult soil—hard and distracted hearts. Let us learn from Elijah to preach boldly and trust God’s Word. Come receive encouragement for your calling\, insight into the preaching task\, and tools to utilize in your ministry.

SUMMARY:Listening & Synergy Event - Oct 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan District Board of Directors (BOD) is pleased to facilitate a Listening and Synergy event for the Metro East Region. In an ongoing effort to connect more effectively with our congregations\, the BOD has been inviting congregation members to get to know the Board and understand its function. Past events have presented information about the BOD and outlined what resources are available to our member congregations from the District. \nIn this meeting\, we are asking congregations to share some brief stories of their successes (and not-so successes)\, that we all might learn from them and generate ideas on how to more effectively spread the good news of the Gospel. The BOD would like to pass along these stories so that we may better serve the District. \nPlease join us at Historic Trinity\, Detroit for an evening of Christian brotherhood and discussion.
