A Hopeful Future

On Sunday March 1, 2026, 35 representatives from 12 churches joined together to talk about the future of the Association. It was a great time of fellowship, prayer and discernment as we discussed what this next season of the Association may look like.

We reflected on why the Association still matters in our current context, named key needs among our churches and community, and began clarifying what a healthier, more mission-focused Association could look like. The discussion also highlighted areas we may need to prune or simplify in order to create space for renewed partnership and impact. We closed with shared next steps to continue the discernment process and begin shaping a clearer vision, priorities, and an actionable plan moving forward.

At the end we formed a small team to continue these conversations and to make some recommendations to the Executive Board. We welcome your input as we continue the conversation. Please reach out to our office if you have any thoughts you wish to share.
