Storied Churches Expedition
Every church has a story, but we are not always aware of God’s larger story in our communities. In this expedition, you will explore your own stories while you participate in what God is doing in the region.
This expedtion is open to pastors.
Monthly, September 2019 to May 2020
Shepherd Strong Expedition
Shepherds are bold leaders who are not fearful of challenges. In this expedition, you will learn that God has given you what you need to stand strong while you share God’s faithful love and grace with the world.
This expedition is open to any follower of Jesus.
Monthly, January to May 2020
Inside-Out Faith
Jesus goes to people and so did the early church.
Instead of asking where all of the people have gone, our churches will be more faithful to ask: where is Jesus going?
Living in community with those who are outside of our bounds is the setting of God’s good news and the context of discipleship.
IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE!
We have new worshipping communities in Ashland AND Mansfield, and they speak…Chinese.
On July 7th, 2018 First Presbyterian Church of Ashland launched a new congregation, pastored by Dr. Li “Dolly” Dong. Each Saturday there is a community meal at 5pm, followed by worship at 6pm.
