Zoom Leader Training:
Enlarging And Embracing Your Online Congregation
January 27th 2PM to 3PM
Experts agree that some facets of church life will eventually get back to normal, but they all agree that online ministry is a new frontier every congregation needs to develop and utilize to increase their ministry effectiveness. Pastor Ryan Ingram will help you do just that with his training on January 27th.
Ryan is the Online Pastor at Harbor Church in Westminster. He designs systems and processes to ensure that the Harbor family, both online and in-person, is cared for and connected to one another in meaningful ways. He also oversees the youth ministry and performs a number of administrative functions, in partnership with the lead pastor and elders. Harbor has experienced growth in this turbulent 2020 season, particularly online. They have created an online community that does more than engage with a screen, by connecting online in meaningful ways and serving others tangibly. Ryan recently moved back to Colorado after living in Arizona for the past 9 years, where he worked as a youth pastor and then executive pastor at Lifepointe Church in Prescott Valley. He is an expert in online ministry and you and your church leaders will learn a lot through his training.
A ZOOM link will be sent out to all pastors one week before the training. The pastors can then forward the link to anyone in the church that desires to ake part in the training.

Featured Church:
The Bridge Community
Centerville, Utah
The Bridge Community is located in an area highly influenced by the LDS faith. Around 85% of the people living here are LDS members, and only 1% of the community attends a Christian Church on Sunday. Here in Utah, the LDS church owns the newspapers, and the largest TV station. LDS culture is reinforced along the Highways, in grocery stores, and just about everywhere you turn. But God is at work here. More churches are being planted now here in Utah than ever before. God is changing the spiritual landscape of Utah, and we're excited to be part of that change...

Thank You For Your Investment in
Converge Rocky Mountain Church Planting!
Churches and individuals contributed thousands of dollars to help our missional movement launch Christ centered congregations throughout the Rockies. To make it even better, dollars contributed are being matched by the national Converge office!
The financial resources couldn't come at a better time. We have three plants getting ready to start in 2021, with three more couples being assessed in February. Two couples have targeted Wyoming and another couple will be added to our growing team of churches in Colorado Springs. Also waiting in the wings are two New Mexico planting couples you'll soon be hearing more about.
CRM asks every partner congregation to support at least one or two planting couples. Your prayer and financial resources enable new churches to not only start, but grow into healthy, effective established congregations.

10 Ten List for Bethel University in 2020!
At the beginning of 2020—what feels like a century ago—we all had our own ideas of what the year would turn into. While we continue to honor and mourn the things that have changed across our world, we also recognize how much there is to celebrate. It’s no secret that the Bethel community treasures stories about overcoming adversity, building renovations, and university announcements. 2020’s top 10 stories include all of the above, and as we close the longest year of our lives, we acknowledge the hardship, joy, loss, discomfort, celebration, growth, and triumph woven into our community—for you all have proven time and time again how resilient Royals really are.

- Ministry leaders are tired. They have been scrambling for months to keep their congregations focused on Christ and making a difference in their communities. Now our nation is at war with each other. Pray for strength, courage and hope as they continue to lead.
- Pray for Executive Minister Paul Mitton as he continues to help churches find pastors, assists church planters, prepares for TTT 2021, meets with regional clusters of pastors, finishes the Connect newsletter, raises funds and recruits key leaders to oversee critical efforts in our movement. His son and daugter in law recently got over a bout with covid. Jan has been immunized and hopefully Paul will get his shots soon which will enable them to increase their travels throughout the district.
