Rostered Ministers Gathering
July 17-20, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona

Dear friends,

What colleague do you wish lived next door to you?

Professional ministry can be isolating and lonely. Throw in a pandemic and the practices of social distance and quarantines and we are even more separated. We were created to be together – that story is told in our scriptures from Genesis through Revelation. Let’s practice that this summer.

You can still register for the Rostered Ministers Gathering, and the early-bird rate of $245 is good through March 31. You will need to book hotel and travel separately. A limited number of scholarships are available.

Highlights of the gathering follow, and more information is available at elca.org/rmg.

REGISTER NOW

We are planning this for you!

God be near,
