2025-2026 Clergy Gathering Schedule:
A New Rhythm of Connection

We’re trying something new this year! Instead of a large clergy meeting, we’re offering three smaller regional gatherings per cycle — all with the same content. Clergy should attend one of the three each cycle — whichever time or location works best for you. You can even choose a different location each time!

🌀 Per Cycle Gathering Options:

• Tuesday morning – Maury/Williamson County area, 10am–noon

• Tuesday evening – Lawrence County, 5:30–7:30pm

• Thursday afternoon – Hardin/Decatur County area, 1:00–3:00pm

Precise locations will vary as we get them scheduled.
