Join us for lunch, fellowship, worship, and an encouraging word from Jerry Taylor as he speaks on “Spiritual Intimacy Through Racial Integrity.” Our world is rife with conflict, including much that surrounds issues of race and ethnicity. Mistrust abounds, and that only plays into the hands of our spiritual Enemy. But just as there is spiritual danger here, so is there room for spiritual action. Ultimately, we want to move toward a robust Christian spirituality that enables all Christ-followers to see human beings through the eyes of our divine creator. And as part of that, in this session we will talk about ways that Christians can make inroads toward racial unity in North Texas.

Note: In light of the current COVID-19 situation in North Texas, and to mirror current practices at ACU, we strongly encourage vaccinations and ask that you wear a mask while not eating.

Our regional Equipping for Ministry gatherings aim to equip church leaders with tools for ministry, to provide them with times of fellowship and worship with other leaders, and to build ongoing relationships with other congregations in their area. All of these are so important during these difficult times, when so many church leaders feel alone, isolated, and frustrated.
