Convergence Consulting with IUCC
Immanuel UCC is engaging a consultant, Rev. Gregg Carlson, to assist us in discerning what our future could look like in a reimagined way. We have named a committee, the New Hope Committee, to work with him and to lead our congregation in this effort.
Step 1 of this process was a church-wide survey, the results of which can be seen in the slides below. On May 21-22, 2023, he came for a site visit, and we held a congregational meeting to view these slides and to ask questions. It was a powerful meeting, and well worth watching if you missed it! That link is below.
This site visit will be combined with the survey results, demographic data, and the results of community meetings that the New Hope Committee is having with members of our neighborhood. Convergence will then offer us an assessment with recommendations for further discernment. They will coach us through narrowing our focus and taking action.
It’s a very exciting time!
