Small-town/rural New England pastors, lay leaders, and Christian workers, here’s an initiative designed for you, located close to you, and meant to learn from you.
Our Summits gather pastors, laypeople, and ministry leaders within a State or region. We learn from one another as we pray and plan for gospel advance. Talks and breakout sessions from small-town/rural New England pastors and ministry leaders spur our thinking. Generous time for discussion, eating together, fellowship, and prayer allow us to encourage one another.
Our Extraordinary Christ: Expositions of Hebrews
Small Town Summits 2024
Small-town New England churches and pastors are used to feeling ordinary – and that’s because we are. We stumble, struggle, and sin. We get discouraged. We’re often weak, weary, and uncertain. What we most need is not someone to tell us we’re impressive. We need a truly impressive Someone. We need to be reminded of our extraordinary Christ.
From the very first lines of the book of Hebrews, Jesus is declared superior to every created being. And Jesus’ greatness is meant not just to be marveled at, but to motivate us to persevering love and obedience. In our 2024 Small Town Summits, we’ll explore the riches of the book of Hebrews in order to revel in the incomparable greatness of Jesus. We’ll see that the supremacy of Christ is rocket fuel for a joyfully tenacious life and ministry. The small places of New England desperately need pastors, laypeople and churches who don’t flame out, who doggedly and delightedly go on. The small places need people who care more about the fame of Jesus than their own. The greatness of Jesus will propel us forward and be our all-satisfying prize when our race is complete.
