The Mission of Central District Conference is to know Christ’s abundant love in who we are and how we live, and to answer God’s persistent call to share that love with one another and the world. One way we strive to do this is by Calling and Nurturing wise, dynamic and compassionate Anabaptist leadership. Our CDC Ministerial Committee is committed to walking with you as you lead, serve, and minister to and with those in your place of ministry. How are you experiencing ministry? How are you growing in wisdom, resiliency, and compassion as you lead and serve others? How is your spirit renewed daily, weekly, annually? Who is in your cloud of witnesses that encourages, supports, and mentors you? As you prepare to complete the form below, consider taking a retreat of whatever length feels right to you. Reflect on the past year and imagine the year ahead.
