SUMMARY:Northern Lights Regional Assembly
DESCRIPTION:“My soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what was happy.And I say\, “My hope is lost from the LORD.”But this I call to mind\, and therefore I have hope:The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;God’s mercies never come to an end.They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”~Lamentations 3:20-23 NRSV \n\n\n\n\nAs a region made up of areas\, states\, congregations\, generational members\, and sojourners — the Northern Lights region’s resilience\, endurance\, and creativity is born of a faithful God. From its oldest congregation (incorporated circa 1868) to its newest congregations-in-formation (2024\, 2025)\, Disciples have been bolstered and inspired through their faith in knowing we are never alone. God is unwavering and constant\, never not present and in our midst. God is faithful\, always. \n\n\n\nJoin Minister of New Church Strategies Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez at this regional assembly. \n\n\n\nAs the Northern Lights region gathers over this Assembly weekend it will find old and new ways to acknowledge the valleys and be grateful for the peaks it has conquered\, find grounding in the present it is in\, and explore opportunities of a Church to come. \n\n\n\nWe will be fortunate to have powerful speakers among us: Rev. Chris Dorsey\, President and CEO of Disciples Home Missions (DHM)\, and Rev. Rebecca Hale\, Executive Vice President of National Benevolent Association (NBA). Regional Minister Paul Allen will round out the  assembly\,  preaching on Sunday morning for all congregations to hear. \n\n\n\nWe will do the business of the Church as we cover business items\, and learn about the work and dreams of our teams\, committees\, and commissions.  And\, we will usher in a new slate of regional servant leaders as our Nominating Committee puts their heads and hands together to discern needs\, to prayerfully consider the Spirit-gifts necessary to carry out these roles\, and to match needs with gifted volunteers across our Region. \n\n\n\nWe will worship together\, sing together\, learn together\, work together\, and share stories and meals. We look forward to “being Church” in person and virtually\, and we pray that our Assembly will be a joyful\, hopeful event that empowers each of us to carry out our various ministries through worship\, music\, and laughter. Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Regional Gathering 2025
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 4:7-9 (NRSV)7 But we have this treasure in clay jars\, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. 8 We are afflicted in every way but not crushed\, perplexed but not driven to despair\, 9 persecuted but not forsaken\, struck down but not destroyed. \n\n\n\n\nAcross generations\, believers have embraced the enduring love and boundless grace of God. Like clay jars\, we acknowledge the fragility of life\, yet within that fragility lies the beauty of transformation. Our brokenness does not disqualify us; instead\, it becomes the very place where God’s power is made visible. \n\n\n\nWe are restored\, repaired\, and reshaped\, entrusted to carry God’s presence with a hope that cannot be broken. As a church\, we live on the edge of renewal\, constantly being made new\, transformed into the diverse shapes\, sizes\, and colors that reflect the fullness of God’s vision for us. \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!\n\n\n\nWORKSHOPS\n\n\n\nA variety of educational opportunities will be offered in the morning and afternoon. Minister of New Church Strategies Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez will be delivering a workshop at 1:00 PM. \n\n\n\nThe Age of Protopian Church\n\n\n\nProtopias are a middle ground between dystopias (which obviously bad) and utopias (which are perfect but unattainable and therefore demoralizing. We will explore current cultural trends that are bringing hope to the younger generation and how your congregation can leverage the trends to co-create a realistic better tomorrow. \n\n\n\nPARKING\n\n\n\nThere are several parking lots and structures located near the Disciples Ministry Center that can be found on this map. \n\n\n\nWATER REFILL STATIONS will be located throughout the venue. We encourage you to bring a refillable water bottle with you to the Regional Gathering. \n\n\n\nLIVE-STREAMED WORSHIP\n\n\n\nFor those who are unable to join us in person\, worship services at the Regional Gathering will be live-streamed on the Disciples PSWR YouTube channel. \n\n\n\nTRANSLATIONS IN SPANISH\, KOREAN AND CHINESE/MANDARIN will be available the day of the event through printed/digital programs and audio interpretation. \n\n\n\nEXHIBITORS\n\n\n\nWe encourage attendees to visit with the exhibitors\, including New Church Ministry\, before\, after\, and in between sessions of the Regional Gathering.

SUMMARY:General Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 2023 General Assembly online and in person to celebrate the way that God’s expansive love connects each of us as “kin” and to part of the larger Kindom of God.  \n\n\n\n“Once\, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come\, Jesus replied\, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed\, nor will people say\, ‘Here it is\,’ or ‘There it is\,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”\n\n\n\nLUKE 17:20-21 \n\n\n\nWorkshop\n\n\n\nWith dozens of workshops to choose from\, church leaders from across the life of the church can enrich their knowledge while connecting with others who are curious about the same topic. New Church Ministry invites to you to participate in DisciplesNEXT\, a workshop in the Within Us track hosted by Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez\, Minister of New Church Strategies\, on Tuesday\, August 1 at 10:15 AM. \n\n\n\nDisciplesNEXT\n\n\n\nOur context is a Post-Christendom\, global pandemic recovering world. Therefore\, we have to look into the quality and not the quantity when it comes to making new disciples and establishing new congregations. Through a collaboration of New Church Ministry\, the Office of the General Minister and President\, and the College of Regional Ministers came a framework to lead us into the “Next Normal.” Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez will present the DisciplesNEXT Framework that will demonstrate how our Church will start new faith communities to be a “Movement for Wholeness” in a Pandemic Informed World. \n\n\n\nExhibition Booth\n\n\n\nOur ministry will also be present in the exhibit hall at booth #516 with Disciples Church Extension Fund (DCEF)\, where we will be offering space to create your own prayer beads and learn more about contemplative action as a core value in ministry. We will also be providing giveaways – cruise by for NCM-branded swag!

SUMMARY:Georgia Regional Assembly
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to announce that Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez (interim Minister of New Church Strategies) will be delivering a workshop\, accompanied by Program Coordinator Wesley King\, on pandemic-informed church at the Christian Church in Georgia’s in-person Regional Assembly. \n\n\n\nParticipants at the assembly will be convening around the theme “Re-church: Re-cast Your Net” from John 21. \n\n\n\nIn this chapter\, we read of the disciples who\, when faced with a new reality\, tried to go back to fishing—and the way they’d always done it. But even that — what they thought they knew — was no longer working. That’s when Jesus showed up and said\, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat\, and you will find some.” With their nets breaking from the fish they had caught\, they recognized Jesus. \n\n\n\nWith the new realities faced by churches and people of faith\, it’s time to discover where Jesus is inviting us to cast our nets. Hosted by First Christian Church\, Athens\, the 170th Georgia Regional Assembly will include opportunities for learning\, worship\, and reconnecting for Disciples of all ages. Here are some highlights: \n\n\n\nFood Truck Tailgate Dinner will open the Regional Assembly on Friday evening at 5 pm. This is a town that knows how to tailgate —you won’t want to miss the fun and reconnecting!\n\n\n\nOpening Worship is November 11\, at 7 pm\, featuring Rev. Dr. Amy Butler\, Interim Senior Minister of National City Christian Church\, Washington\, D.C.Youth will participate in the Regional Assembly with Youth Lock-in Friday evening through Saturday. A Children’s Program for grades K-5 and Nursery Care for infants through Pre-K also will be available Friday evening and Saturday.Saturday Session for November 12 includes Rev. Dr. Nathan Brown\, Senior Pastor of Sandy Springs Christian Church\, leading a morning Bible study\, followed by “worshipful work” combining worship\, business\, celebration\, and connecting.Saturday Lunch Options will include a luncheon hosted by Disciples Women with Rev. Sylvia Stroy\, former Moderator of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Georgia\, presenting “Called as Women to Serve with Joy & Purpose.” Disciples Men will host lunch with Rev. Tom Edmondson\, Pastor of First Christian Church of Atlanta\, Tucker\, speaking on “Being a Christian Man in Today’s World.”

SUMMARY:North Carolina regional assembly
DESCRIPTION:A NEW WAY TO ASSEMBLE IN NORTH CAROLINA\n\n\n\nDownload the Letter | Register by Mail  \n\n\n\nYou have surely heard that old tagline often used in reference to Gotham and its five boroughs: New York\, New York – the city so nice they named it twice. Well\, the same type of sentiment may be applied to the upcoming Regional Assembly of the Christian Church in North Carolina (CCNC) – so fabulous that one day is not enough. \n\n\n\nThis year\, the region will be dividing its Assembly into two parts – A and B – both of which are being offered virtually this year. Participants will gather around the theme: Telling Our Stories – Vital Conversations. \n\n\n\nJose Martinez (Associate Minister of New Church Ministry) will be attending Assembly A. \n\n\n\nAssembly A: Telling Our Stories April 23rd at 9:30 AM \n\n\n\nIt has been a tough couple of years for congregations\, ministers\, and laypeople of the CCNC. In many\, many ways\, we have not been able to be church and do ministry in the ways that have been most familiar to us. But God has been with us\, stirring us to try new things and venture in new directions. In short\, the wilderness in which we have been traveling has not been devoid of grace\, and we have stories to tell about what these experiences have meant to us. We will start the day with Rev. Chris Furr leading us to recognize and claim this remarkable\, divine presence\, and we will have the opportunity to hear some other brief voices from our region telling some of their stories. There will be the mix of music and celebration\, business and deliberation\, and a closing communion service led by Rev. Bishop Valerie Melvin (North Carolina Regional Minister) to wrap up our storytelling.

SUMMARY:Becoming an Externally Focused Church
DESCRIPTION:WITH PASTOR TERRELL L MCTYER\, MINISTER OF NEW CHURCH STRATEGIES\n\n\n\nWorkshop Description:  \n\n\n\nIf your church vanished\, would your community weep? Would anyone notice? Would anyone care? \n\n\n\nLearn to make serving the community a priority–with dramatic and unexpected results. Your church can be a firm pillar in your community because of the unwavering truth and love of its members. From the minister to the mechanic and the teen to the tenured\, your church will expand God’s family when it extends love to the community. Being an externally focused church is not about trying to be the best church in the community\, but being the best church for the community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALL WORKSHOPS at Making Room at the Table: Seeking Unity in our Diversity\, the 2020 Tennesee Regional Assembly\, will be held virtually this year! Upon registration\, you will receive an email confirming your details.  \n\n\n\nIf you already registered for the Assembly\, but want to sign up for more workshops\, the Tennesee region has you covered! Just use the link down below to sign up for as many workshops as you like. Do note\, you will only receive one Zoom link per registration\, so please only register once.  \n\n\n\nThe Zoom meeting link will be emailed to the email address provided in the registration form. You will receive the Zoom link sign up on the Friday prior to your workshop for security purposes. Should you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the region at regionaloffice@tndisciples.org or aniesha@tndisciples.org. \n\n\n\nThank you and we look forward to seeing you on September 5!
