Tell Us Your Stories!

In the weekly Central Connection, we send out
information for you to be aware of. But we also want to be able to tell the stories of what is going on throughout the district.

Please send us the stories of…

Where God is at work in your midst
Opportunities the Lord has given your church for kingdom advancement
Key answers to prayer, healing stories, and praiseworthy highlights
How Jesus has helped your church through a challenge
Other stories

Stay within a 300-500 word limit. Send pictures if possible.

We think that including your stories will be a great encouragement!

Please send brief stories to [email protected]

Lay Delegate Registration

General Council will be held May 26th – May 30th, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio. This important event is open to all C&MA members and adherents.

If your church plans to send a lay delegate to Council, the deadline to submit your form(s) to the district office is Friday, March 28th. Be sure to add this to your Governing Board Agenda prior to this date.

Please share the attached information below regarding General Council with your Governing Board Secretary.

Important Note: We ask that you register your delegate through the process prior to Council. This will help alleviate the need for someone to find the district superintendent for his approval and signature during Council.

Alliance Peacemaking Training: Level 2

"Conflict is inevitable; how we handle it is not. God expects us to handle our conflicts differently than the world does. Alliance Peacemaking teaches how He wants us to deal with conflict."

If you are a Christian leader (consecrated and ordained or lay), you are already coaching. This two-day live seminar equips you to coach better from a biblical standpoint to help other people see and resolve their conflict from a godly perspective. Certified conflict coaches become resources for their churches.

Please note: You must complete level 1 training to participate in this event.

This training will be held at Riverside Alliance Church, April 30th-May 1st.
( 2433 S Main St, Akron, OH 44319)

The cost to attend is $300.

Church Multiplication Director Thought

A brief message from Todd Sovine.
(Director of Church Multiplication)

I have scratched my head for a long time – why is it that more churches are not involved in multiplication through church planting? Lately, John 12:24 has contributed some interesting insights for me. Read it again for yourself. I think the tagline is – Multiplication, something has gotta die!

What would you and your ministry have to put to death to see multiplication birthed out of you?

Email Kirsten Tousley, [email protected], to make
an appointment with Todd Sovine.
