Lay Leadership Conference: Rooted in Christ, Rising in Community

A Diocesan Lay Leadership Conference

Rooted in Christ, Rising in Community: Releasing the Gifts Within Us

Imagine if the gifts needed for our Church’s future are already among us.

Rooted in Christ, Rising in Community is a three-day gathering that helps lay leaders identify spiritual gifts, deepen their formation, and gain tools to strengthen ministry in their congregations. Through worship, storytelling, and practical sessions, participants grow in confidence and clarity about their calling.

As each leader grows, our congregations grow stronger — and our diocese rises together.
