After prayerful consideration and with the encouragement of our Bishop Visitor, the Community has decided to take a break from hosting an Annual Conference. We covet your prayers during this process as we discern what alternatives we might be able to offer in the future.

Although there is no specific timetable, we believe the responsible direction is to begin planning now for a time when Community members can no longer steward the ministries and property God has entrusted to us.
