Departmental Initiatives
The Department is presently working to develop a mission strategy for LaGrange, Ky. We believe wholeheartedly that this should be the site of the next mission in our diocese.
We are also assisting various congregations with developmental needs, and we are meeting with clergy and laity onsite to assist them deal with conflict resolution or growth potential.
We would love to be invited to come to any congregation in the diocese and to be a resource to the clergy and laity.
We are also working with the Christian Formation Department in planning the Presiding Bishop's visit in May.
The Rev. Dr. Joe Smith, Chair
