The Future of the Church: A Conversation with Church Leaders in Denver Presbytery

Future of the church (2).png

The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed our lives, the way we work, interact with others, hold session meetings and gather for worship. What will it look like when the shelter in place is lifted?

Join us every Tuesday @ 10 AM, as we talk about these questions and more. This conversation is for EVERYONE. We want to engage with pastors, music leaders, tech crews and congregants. Please join the conversation!

Hosts:
Kenny Shaw (South Park) | Paula Steinbacher (Church of the Eternal Hills) | Gretchen Hope Wilson (Green Mountain)

Each Tuesday our hosts will have guest panelists to address questions and have a question/answer/share at the end of our time together. We will try to keep the meeting to 1 hour.

UPCOMING TOPICS
June 23rd | What will it look and feel like to gathering in-person?

We will have breakout rooms for discussions in small groups. Click here for article on what it might look like to gathering in-person.
