Join us for this Pre-Convocation Workshop led by General Minister and President Rev. Terri Hord Owens. The Covenant Project is an initiative of the Governance Committee at the direction of the General Board of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) to change how we gather and how we make decisions as church so that more people are included in shaping the priorities of the church. This town hall aims to provide education around proposed changes, foster conversation, and create opportunities for feedback.
