The Western North Carolina Conference will be held in-person at Lake Junaluska June 16-19, 2022. For all clergy, please ensure you submit an excused absence request if you are unable to attend.
Details and registration can be found here.
Anti-Racism Ethics Training
May and June workshops still have spaces available. Blue Ridge District will NOT be hosting a district-specific workshop this fall. As a reminder, it is still important to take advantage of these opportunities as they become available because capacity for each is limited. This antiracism training is mandatory for all WNC-appointed clergy as the Clergy Ethics Training through June 2024. Thank you for your participation!
