The Next Step

On Epiphany Sunday, churches across our California-Pacific Annual Conference shared in a time of visioning as one of the steps in discerning God’s will for our conference at this time in our life together. The next step in our process is District Visioning Events that will include a brief Bible study by Bishop Carcaño, face-to-face conversations and dialogue, and time to join together in prayer.

Each District gathering will provide an opportunity for Cal-Pac clergy and laity to engage together as we move toward articulating a vision for the conference. The goal of the Mission / Vision Discernment Team is to provide a draft statement of the vision at the District Conferences in early May for further reflection and revision before presenting it to the Annual Conference in June.
