Excellence in Leadership
From Rev. Sarah J Moening, Rocky Mountain Synod
The mission of Excellence in Leadership is to grow authentic and effective leaders— free from fear, free to love for the sake of the world: Deepening emotional capacity, growing effective leaders, and fostering authentic relationship.
Registration is open for the 13-month program (January 2024-January 2025): Excellence in Leadership. We would love to have more DEMs and the rostered and lay leaders from new and renewing congregations. We believe that this type of leadership development is critical for the future of the Church and the proclamation of the Gospel, and their voices would be a great addition to the conversation. With more voices comes richer conversation.

Truth & Healing Movement
Over the next months the ELCA will provide opportunities to learn the true history and current realities of Indigenous people. It is these truths, truths that have been ignored by most for hundreds of years, that will bring healing for both Indigenous people and non-Indigenous people.
Some of these opportunities will be calls to individual action, and some will be activities that congregations and small groups should coordinate and participate in together. All these opportunities can be easily promoted by sharing links on social media or other communication platforms.
Watch this page as well as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for opportunities to engage.
