Join us for a special time of worship as churches from across Montgomery County come together to remember Jesus's sacrifice for us.
Join us for our next Pastor & Ministry Leader Lunch. This is a great time to connect with other ministry leaders, explore challenging topics together, and collaborate on bringing the gospel into our community.
The service link can be found here.
During these difficult times, it is important that the Church stands in unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We believe that one of the best ways to bring unity is to bring understanding, so we are very excited to announce our very first TransForum!
Our TransForum is designed to engage each attendee, so we created two parts: 1) a conversation among several leaders in our community on Facebook and 2) breakout sessions designed to give each attendee a safe place to dialogue on Zoom.
This event is entirely online and will take place on Saturday, Sept. 26th from 9am-11am. Please use the following link to register for this incredible event: Click to Sign Up
** WEATHER NOTICE **
Thankfully, the weather forecast has cleared up and is no longer calling for thunderstorms during today's rally. We have decided to continue as planned, so we look forward to seeing you in a couple of hours! (:

United in Action is a movement committed to helping local churches act as one to declare the gospel in our community. As those who were once dead in our sins, made alive together with Christ and commanded to unite in love as members of his body, we acknowledge that we have not acted as one when it comes to confronting the racialized sin in this country that is antithetical to the good news of Jesus Christ. Join us on Saturday, June 20th at noon, as we stand together to visibly demonstrate our commitment to pray, connect with one another, and be part of the solution that brings justice and peace particularly for black and brown people who have been so often the target of violence and systemic racism.

Join UIA as we develop an action plan stemming from our previous transforum on mass incarceration. MoCo pastor and jail chaplain Russ Isler will discuss incarceration, the effects on families and opportunities to get involved. We will also have a testimony on reentering society after incarceration, and also a discussion on how churches can invest in our community to hopefully lower incarceration rates. This will be action oriented and a great opportunity for your congregants to put feet to their faith and get involved in these important issues! Please RSVP at the event's Evite page.
*Please note that we are postponing the topic of immigration to a later date, as we felt this topic needed further follow up.*

America makes up 5% of the world's population, yet locks up 25% of the world's prisoners. And 40% of U.S. prisoners are black men. '13th' explores the connection between slavery and modern-day mass incarceration in America. What might a gospel-centered response, both individually and corporately, look like to this situation?
The leadership team of United in Action is taking a break for the summer to refresh and prepare for the fall. Therefore, UIA will not host any events June through August. Our Transforums and our Pastor & Leader Lunches are tentatively scheduled to resume in September. Please stay tuned for more details and opportunities. Have a great summer, and may the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you!
