Late last year, the Minnesota Conference UCC invited our congregation to be part of a new church vitality program. The yearlong Crossroads program will help us answer the question: “What is God calling us to do and be…TODAY?”
We’re working with others in the conference and with a consultant to “look inward” at who we are and how we can “turn outward.” We’re talking about our dreams for the future and where we go from here. Crossroads will build on work we’ve already done in recent years, preparing us for new forms of ministry and leadership in response to a changing world.
A seven-member Crossroads Team, plus our pastor, meets the first Thursday of the month, with special meetings as needed. Watch this page for updates on our progress.
