Recreating the Church Event

We had quite a crowd representing us this past weekend!

First Christian Church Scottsdale sent a dozen members to our sister church in Sun City for the Rev. Dr. Dick Hamm's "Recreating the Church: Leadership for a Post-Modern World" Event.

Dick Hamm is the former General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in American and Canada -- a title that he joked would loop over onto the back of his business cards -- and he is currently the Executive Administrator at Christian Churches Together and a Founding Partner at The Columbia Partnership


It was a fabulous event. Using "Generational Identity" as the orienting framework we talked frankly about the challenges the church is facing and the opportunities we have going forward. 


The folks from FCC Scottsdale in attendance came back excited and conversations are already happening to figure out how to best share this presentation with a wider swath of our congregation and how we incorporate the lessons we learned into the broader life of our church. Good things will come from it, friends!
