Worried about your congregation today? Wondering what the future holds?

You are not alone.

People throughout the church are experiencing doubts, fears, and uneasiness about the future. Bishop Hutterer would like to talk with you about the worries and wonders you are experiencing. Together we will ponder how our congregations’ ministry and witness can be shaped for the sake of the gospel.

If you are invested in our Church’s future, join the conversation.

Under the theme “Church Together: From Worry to Wonder," our spring gatherings are set up to be primarily in-person, with a town hall format. While we strongly encourage you to attend, we will be providing limited Zoom access with break-out rooms.

Members of all Grand Canyon Synod congregations and ministries, including active and retired leaders, are welcome to our spring gatherings.

We give a special thanks to Bishop Jim Gonia of the Rocky Mountain Synod for permission to repurpose their Worry to Wonder presentation for our spring gatherings.
