Friday, January 26 – Saturday, January 27, 2024
Camp Dogwood on Lake Norman

CBFNC is launching a new pilot program: The Church Sustainability Initiative. This initiative focuses on working alongside congregations to discern their next most faithful step, exploring new pathways for churches by examining their sustainability and vitality.

After listening to churches across the state, we have honed in on seven compelling stories of congregations that serve as models for potential pathways forward. These pathways include resetting ministry, ending well and becoming a legacy church, developing revenue-based space partnerships, selling church facilities and restarting with a new approach, sharing space with other congregations, and more.

The Church Sustainability Initiative will launch in 2024 with a summit for churches, with 3-4 representatives (pastor/interim, deacon, finance member, and one other leader) on January 26-27 at Camp Dogwood on Lake Norman. Cost is $110 for a single occupancy room and $60 for double occupancy room; includes all meals.
