2020 Mid Council Leaders Gathering

In response to physical distancing guidelines, the 2020 Mid Council Leaders Gathering will be a one-day virtual event. Co-sponsored by the Board of Pensions, Office of the General Assembly, and Presbyterian Mission Agency, the 2020 gathering will be held Thursday, November 5, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET. The theme of this year's event is Wholeness in Times of Crises.

This re-imagined event has been designed specifically for administrative, ecclesiastical, programmatic, and financial leaders of mid councils, such as

• executive and general presbyters;
• stated clerks, COM/CPM leaders; and
• business and financial leaders.

Program highlights

Those who attend will

• engage in conversation with Church leadership — the Reverend Dr. Diane Moffett, President and Executive Director, Presbyterian Mission Agency; the Reverend Dr. J. Herbert Nelson II, Stated Clerk, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.); and the Reverend Frank C. Spencer, President, Board of Pensions — on leading in times of crises and concerns and needs in these challenging times;
• connect with well-being researcher the Reverend Chris Adams, Ph.D., from WorkWell on how to flourish and build resilience and use WorkWell's well-being app to discover, engage in, and track daily practices for well-being based on Flourishing in Ministry research; and
• hear from the co-moderators of the General Assembly, the Reverend Gregory Bentley and Ruling Elder Elona Street-Stewart, on critical issues for the well-being of all communities within the denomination.
