"Veritas: Telling the Truth about Congregational Vitality" is a workshop designed for pastors, chairpersons and other key leaders in the church. We will discover together the marks of a healthy missional church and the four types of established churches in the Covenant. We will then look at "next steps."

Veritas is great way to get the conversation going and/or to take it to the next level. 

The purpose of the workshop is to remind people that God is in the resurrection business and that He is pulling for you and your church to overcome.

Veritas meets on a Saturday (9:00 - 3:30), so more church leaders can attend. Lunch is provided, compliments of the conference. The cost of the workshop is free.

Due to the increasing demand for Veritas events, we now have a Veritas teaching team of several certified presenters. Please let us know if you are interested in hosting Veritas for your region, but first check the list above to see if it is already scheduled near you.

For more information about hosting a Veritas cluster event for your area, please contact John at john.wenrich (at) covchurch.org. We will send you a purpose statement, a hospitality tip sheet and a flyer for you to distribute to other churches in your area.

This workshop is taught by Dr. John S. Wenrich,
Director of Congregational Vitality
for the Evangelical Covenant Church,

and members of the Veritas Teaching Team:
Dave Benedict, Alan Forsman, Catherine Gilliard, Art Greco,
