Fall 2020 Virtual Pastors Retreat

How does a pastor lead well, care well, and preach well in the most volatile cultural circumstances that our generation has experienced? Al Tizon will help us answer that question in our upcoming retreat as he shares wisdom gleaned during decades of ministry. His clear voice will offer pathways forward so that we and the people we serve may be “whole and reconciled” – to God and one another.
