STS Maine
On Thursday, October 16th, 2025, Small Town Summits hosted a Summit at UBC Ellsworth in Ellsworth, ME. Pastors and lay leaders from small places across Maine learned how to more effectively counsel others and how to encourage and equip our congregations to grow in offering wise counsel.
We’d love for you to join us next Spring. To stay connected with STS and receive updates on future ME Summits, sign up for our newsletter.
