Transforming Communities Workshop

Are you longing for greater clarity about who your congregation is becoming? Wondering how to connect your identity with the needs of the neighborhood around you in ways that feel faithful and life-giving? The Transforming Communities Workshop invites you into a two-day, guided space to explore your context, listen deeply to your community, and practice the tools that help churches design meaningful, adaptive ministry. Together we’ll focus on practical skills that support long-term mission alignment, sustainable impact, and help communities respond faithfully and effectively to the changing environment around them. Regular cost will be $499, but for OlyPres participants it will be $349 with the code OLYMPIAATTENDEESTCW2026.

Olympia Presbytery is willing to offer registration subsidy upon request. Contact Taeler Morgan, email  cultivator@olypres.org
