Evergreen District Conference

October 1-3, 2024 Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Theme: Uncharted Territory

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

The world in front of us is nothing like the world behind us. As we move into the future, it is with the realization that change, and the pace of change have increased drastically. How do we react? How do we respond? It is in uncharted territory where our trust is challenged, our faith is deepened, and we see God respond in ways that we could not conceive or imagine.

Join us in beautiful Coeur d'Alene for this year's Evergreen District Conference, October 1-3, at the Union Gospel Mission's Center for Women and Children, 196 West Haycraft Avenue.

Gather your team as we fellowship with others from throughout the district for a time of refreshing. Be encouraged and inspired through targeted discussions in profession groups around a rich assortment of topics. See the schedule below for further information.

The $55 registration fee includes all programming, three meals, and a lake cruise (be sure to RSVP on the registration).

For those more than 5 hours away and/or with less than 10 staff, please contact Shan Trick about scholarship opportunities.
