Training Details

The Leadership Training event will begin at 9 a.m. on Friday morning and conclude by 3 p.m. on Saturday. Friday evening will be devoted to group spiritual direction (optional). Lodging is available on Thursday night for those traveling from a distance. The Brethren movement is made for today, with an emphasis on community and the Holy Spirit. We’ll look at our practices as a way of recentering us in the relevance of our tradition for today. Together, we will explore what it means to be faithful disciples, engaging our practices and embodied ways of following Jesus so that we may faithfully carry our identity and relevance into our current day. We are so glad you will be joining us!
