Fall Ministry Forum: Strength for Today, Bright Hope for Tomorrow
October 10 at 9:45 am – 3:00 pm EDT
The Fall Ministry Forum is hosted by the Academic Dean’s office, Gordon-Conwell Institute, and the Haddon W. Robinson Center for Preaching.
During these sessions we will take a close look at how not to be “branded” by discouragement. We will discuss how to embrace pain, disappointment, and failure as pathways to greater intimacy with God and usefulness for the cause of Christ. We will also highlight the beauty, value, and mission of the Church.
