As the body of Christ, we are much stronger in our ministry and witness when we see one another relationally, connected, interdependent, as a network! As part of our synod vitality strategy, we are gathering congregations and leaders into cohorts, or learning communities, to journey together on the way of Jesus and congregational vitality. Through a grant from the ELCA Christian Community and Leadership Home Area, we are partnering with several organizations that specialize in facilitating learning communities to offer opportunities for congregations to strengthen their ministry and witness in the areas of discipleship and community engagement, stewardship and generosity, strategic planning, and faith in daily life.
Thank you for joining leaders across the Southwestern Texas Synod for the virtual taster event that was held on Monday, January 9th at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom. We discovered ways to nurture vitality in our congregation by being invited into a learning community.

This year we had a convocation occurring simultaneously in three locations; Triumphant Love in Austin, Zion in San Antonio, and Galilean in Corpus Christi. The Zoom link was also available to join digitally. Together we explored liminal spaces, aided by the wisdom of Rev. Dr. Jay Alanis.
