Rooted in our baptismal call and nourished by prayer, we encourage you to review the following “sparks of inspiration”; listen deeply for the movement of the Holy Spirit; and respond with creativity, imagination, and faith.

Whether through new ministries, innovative partnerships, and/or fresh expressions of outreach and service, envision how your congregation can live more fully into God’s mission, bearing witness to the Gospel in ways that meet the needs of a changing world.
