Extravagantly welcoming and affirming followers of Christ called to embody God’s unconditional justice and love. 

We are thrilled to invite you to our 3-day transformative gathering centered on the theme of “Starting Where We Are: Creating Community in Chaotic Times." This year’s annual meeting aims to equip clergy and church leaders with the tools, inspiration, and faith-based strategies to address today's pressing chaotic times. Together, we’ll explore how the church can lead in advocating for equity, compassion, and lasting change. Our 2025 event will feature a game night, an awards banquet (pack your Sunday Best), an installation service, and so much more!

We are excited to announce that our keynote speaker will be Rev. Traci Blackmon! You do not want to miss out! Visit our Annual Meeting page for all the details.

Ecumenical Earth Day Prayer Service

Tuesday, April 22, 10:00 am - 11:00 am MST via Zoom

Inspired by Creation Justice Ministries' 2025 annual resource, The Power of God: From Extractive Theology to Transformative Faith, this service will lead participants into a time of prayer and reflection, centered around seven original pieces of music produced for the resource. Derrick Weston, Creation Justice Ministries' director of theological education and formation will offer a reflection and the service will include new music commissioned for the Earth Day resource.

Join us online for this ecumenical service of music, prayer, and contemplation as we consider how God's power renews us and how we might use our power to renew Creation.
