SUMMARY:Thriving in Rural and Small-Town UCC Churches & Ministries
DESCRIPTION:A recent United Church of Christ survey found that over 60% of UCC congregations have small memberships\, mostly found in rural and small-town settings. Join us for this 3-part Nurture the Soul series featuring the vitality and thriving experiences of rural and small-town church settings. UCC church members and pastoral leaders share their personal experiences of life in rural and small towns and the innovative ways of doing church and ministry in these settings and their essential contributions to the wider UCC.

SUMMARY:The Need for Justice Leaders Within Congregations: Episode 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this 2-part series as we meet with the founders of the Justice Leadership program. We’ll explore why there is a need for justice leaders in congregations and how we are all leaders. We’ll also delve into the themes they cover during their fellowship such as: the pervasiveness of the worldview of Domination and how that has impacted life as we know it; the necessary shift from a congregational self-care primary mission to cultural transformation mission for the good of the world and the Church; and understanding Christianity as centered in Justice and the powerful Biblical Narrative. \nRev. Richard Gamble (he/him) is a founder and the executive director of the Justice Leadership Program. He is also the senior pastor at Keystone United Church of Christ. Rich has been involved in faith-based peace and justice work for over forty years. He has worked as an activist\, a community organizer\, and as the executive director of a community organizing agency. He also has worked as an advocate and as the director of an advocacy program and co-chair of the board of an advocacy agency. \nEliza Penick (she/her) is a program director for the Justice Leadership Program. She has worked in non-profit education\, fundraising\, program development\, and community engagement for fifteen years\, with a particular passion for food sustainability and sovereignty. Her sources of joy are family\, urban homesteads\, mountain biking\, and the exploration of art\, play\, and new places.
