Strengthening your invitation and welcome, embracing your discipleship is a popular topic. We’d love to know of your needs and interests. Share your ideas for renewal, creating new ministries, strengthening invitation. We are considering offerings for a fall webinar.

Our Minister for Justice, Mission and Outreach, the Rev. Dr. Shepherd Munikwa, created this introductory video of welcome. It has been shared at all three Atlantic annual general meetings. We hope you will watch it with your leadership, your congregation, post it on your website and social media. Discuss how you can ensure all people feel welcomed and belonging in your community of faith. Reach out to me about what resources we have or can develop to support you.
