Healthy churches develop from excellent leadership practices, great faith, quality training and taking advantage of sound, innovative resources – both human and media.

The New Faith Community Development Team (Path One UNY) is offering training and networking opportunities for leaders. Their goal is to share information and resources, engage in passionate conversation, and identify and link together those interested in developing New Faith Communities.

As one team member recently noted, “Many successful churches are ‘continually planting' new faith communities within themselves.” They regularly create new ministry "inside the building" (often replacing worn out ones) and outside their building, with and for their neighbors.

Persons interested in this kind of ministry are invited to attend one of the regional meetings throughout the conference. All sessions are from 10 a.m. to noon, unless otherwise noted:

• Jan. 14: West Genesee UMC, Syracuse; (315) 468-0293
• Jan. 21: Christ UMC, Amherst; (716) 839-2560
