Justice Conference

Participants who register before March 15th will receive copy of Freeing Congregational Mission: A Practical Vision for Companionship, Cultural Humility, and Co-Development, co-authored by B Hunter Farrell, our event speaker, and Balajiedlang Khyllep.

Book Description:

There is a deepening crisis in mission as practiced by North American congregations. Many mission activities are more effective at satisfying church members than making a lasting difference, producing what’s too often consumer-oriented “selfie mission.” Too much effort is based on colonial-era assumptions of mission launched from a position of power. These practices are not just ineffective―they deviate from mission in the way of Jesus. Hunter Farrell and Bala Khyllep want to help free congregational mission from harmful cultural forces so churches can better partner with God’s work in the world.

The Justice Conference is co-sponsored by Zephyr Point and the North Central California Presbytery. Ministry leaders in NCCP will be eligible for a discounted rate. Recognizing that the work towards justice is a collective effort of diverse voices, theologies, and perspectives, participants of all denominational backgrounds are invited to attend.
