About this event
We pray this day will provide space and encouragement for seminary students, young leaders, urban chaplains, those trying to “stick the landing,” and those who inspire us with your perseverance!
In addition to rich fellowship with Dr. Davis, Lorna Rasmussen and others, we will also introduce a new re-entry simulation game designed by Don and Cathy Allsman of Completion Global, Inc., and Charles Anderson of Epiphany Life Change. Our Director and Dean will introduce a new model of Neighborhood Chaplaincy to our community and share it’s potential impact for extending outreach alongside urban churches. TUMI Colorado will be “in the house” and co-hosting.
We’ll have three meals and snacks will be available all day. Registration is $50, with scholarship options for students, and includes all food, materials and the conference.
It just feels like we need a day together! We hope you will come!
