Saturday, February 1, 8:30am—12:30pm Pacific 

The Transforming Church – Anabaptism at 500

Don’t be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you can figure out what God’s will is—what is good and pleasing and mature. Romans 12:2 (CEB)

Our 2025 CCC gathering will be an opportunity to support and resource one another as we begin this year that marks the 500^th Anniversary of Anabaptism. Our gathering will include input from regional and denominational leaders who will provide resources and help us think of ways to approach this historic moment in our lineage of Christian faith.
