Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership proudly

offers Disciples in a VUCAH World

ZOOM MAY 16, CONFERENCE MAY 17-19,

Course Description and Objectives

The course will focus on a cultural wave that has swept the North American church into a
brand-new world—that is pluralistic, complicated, and high tech. Faced with the challenge,
fresh expressions of church are emerging alongside the traditional church. How might churches
relate with people who live in a North American culture that is increasingly both non-religious
and multi-religious? The course will explore discipleship and congregations in a VUCAH
world (volatile, uncertain, chaotic, ambiguous, hyperconnected).

The course includes attendance at the New and Renew Conference, May 17-19 either in-person
or via Zoom, online conference platform.

This is a two-step registration and payment process:
