Tuesday, October 27 at 2 pm ET/ 1 pm CT... Via Zoom. The Emerging Ministries Committee is pleased to announce an online educational opportunity for people interested in learning more about starting a new ministry in the Moravian Church.

This opportunity is open to all especially lay people who may have an interest in starting something new perhaps college-age individuals considering ministry, or early retirees who have energy to embark on a new project, plus everyone in between!
