Last Fall, we invited you to “Save the Date” for the Annual Gathering 2025. We are excited that First Christian Church in Chico (295 E. Washington Avenue, Chico 95926) will be our host congregation this year!

This is the first of several articles to help you make plans!

First, here are the dates for you to add to your calendar!

April 23: The Clergy Gathering is when authorized ministers can participate in mutual support and information sharing. More information will be in upcoming editions of Regional Voices.

April 24-25: Pre-Gathering Event “Generation Next” Thanks to the Oreon Scott Grant the Region received, we will be able to hold a day-and-a-half conference that will focus on Church Administration, Youth, the Future of Seminary Education and Preparation for Ministry. Presenters include the Rev. BJ Barlow and Dr. Claudia Highbaugh. There is no charge for these workshops, and registered participants will be reimbursed for one night in the hotel.

Workshops for pre-gathering will include:

April 25-26: Annual Gathering, Worshipful Work, and Education Sessions. Our keynote speaker will be Rev. Dr. Marco Cable, Co-Executive of Global Ministries and President & CEO of Disciples Overseas Ministries. Watch for opportunities to offer workshops in future editions of Regional Voices.
