  • We are burdened for the hurting people in our community and beyond.

Dunamis Conference Nov. 9-11 at Birchwood Presbyterian Church: Dunamis is the Greek term for “power.” The Dunamis Project is a series of six retreats designed to equip clergy and laity in the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit. The teaching has been forged from the Scriptures, is applicable in a Presbyterian and Reformed context, has been proven in ministry, and is informed by 200 years of renewal and revival movements. The workshop environment embraces prayer, worship, trust, mutual accountability and a full expression of the spiritual gifts for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. For more information, brochures are in the foyer and on the bulletin board.
