This site is built to grow. If your conference's Fellowship of Local Pastors and Associate Members would like a home here — prayer, calendar, and more — we would be glad to help you start one.

Mutual support, for the sake of the mission
Every local pastor and associate member belongs to the Fellowship — gathered for continuing formation, a bond of unity and common commitment, and relationships of mutual support and trust (¶ 323). But between annual conferences, that fellowship can be hard to see.
This site exists to make the ordinary life of the Fellowship visible: the prayers we carry and the days we set apart to gather. It begins with what can be shared publicly, and it grows as the Fellowship asks it to.
