2025 Annual GatheRing Reflection

The 2025 Annual Gathering Planning team’s deep desire was for us to gather as people and churches who are living as refugia in our communities. We met to reconnect, remember, and re-energize to go home ready to continue being refugia in your communities.

Your reflections on the weekend are invaluable to us as we work together with collective strength and purpose in these dangerous days.

Please answer the following evaluation questions to help us as we plan for next year and beyond!
