Catawba Valley District Leadership Conference

District Leadership Conference

Our District theme this year is “Light the Fire of Discipleship.” Our vision is to empower each local church to live into the disciple-making model, creating churches filled with disciples making disciples, churches that foster transformation through small-group ministry, and churches that model a community which loves, learns, and leads together.

As a part of that vision, we are excited to offer training opportunities to our laity. The first of these opportunities will be the District Leadership Conference, which will be held on
