We have a brand new focus for 2025!

 

The Exchange exists to provide a forum for GLC collaboration surrounding important current topics for the church. This year's focus will be on God's Kingdom and Our Country. 

​

The 2024 Presidential Election season brought with it a growing sense of division and polarization, both across the wider American society and within Brethren in Christ churches. As our people grapple with the emerging political realities of 2025 and beyond, it is important to center our identities in the work of God’s Kingdom, which is global in scale, personal in impact, and which will outlast the rulers of this present age. Most of us approach political conversations with preconceptions that block us from truly listening to other people and ideas. The Exchange aims to invest in building bridges by opening our hearts, minds, and conversations to a place a little beyond our usual comfort zones. 

 

We will host online sessions approximately once every 4-6 weeks (schedule below) featuring topical presentations (30 minutes) and a considerable amount of discussion time (1 hour) for pastors to talk, listen, stretch. The Exchange is also providing a private Facebook page to promote continued discussion between sessions.
