Building Hope Weekend
Safe, secure and affordable housing is foundational to meeting our human need for shelter. Despite our differences, this need for shelter is one that every human being shares. Meeting this need effectively and equitably is both the cornerstone and the hallmark of thriving, stable, and resilient communities. During the Building Hope Weekend, participants will work on housing projects identified by local housing partners, to provide a safe and healthy home environment for rural residents.

Hope in a time of Despair
"If we care about bibilical injustice, or even if we merely empathize with the unjust suffering of marginalized people, it is easy to feel discouraged - even despairing. If we care about the unity of the church and healthy democracy, the enormous divides in our society also can lead to depression and..."

This 6 week book club led by Rick Burnette, CBF Field Personnel, and Ellen Burnette of Cultivate Abundance digs deeply into why Rick and Ellen work so hard to eliminate food insecurity in the Immokalee Farm worker community right here in Florida. Did you know the average life span of a migrant worker is 49 compared to 77.2 years for most Americans? Join this study to learn more and help improve the lives of the people who pick the food we eat.

The Past, Present, and Future of Giving
There are five generations worshiping in our churches right now. Three were born before the internet existed and two are digital natives. They all think about, spend, and give money in incredibly different ways. We’re also on the cusp of seeing the largest transfer of wealth in human history—$18 billion from Boomers to Millennials over the next few decades. This three-part course is designed to help churches plan for the future by better understanding how and why each of these generations gives. It will teach you how to communicate about giving and generosity more effectively, and spur creative thinking around the giving tools we make available to them.

Dr. Martin Luther King, The Dream Turned Nightmare How Churches Can Discover and Lead the Way from Chaos to Community
Many Americans revere Dr. King for his famous "I Have a Dream" speech delivered in 1963. Dr. King had a dream, but what many do not know is that he confessed that his dream became a nightmare. Since America, including its churches, accepted the caricature of King as a dreamer, instead of interrogating the forces that killed his dream, our nation has pursued the path of chaos that currently engulfs this nation, affecting even our churches.

While the virtual General Assembly will still be held as scheduled and in its entirety, the in-person regional gathering of CBF Alabama, CBF Florida, and CBF Georgia will not take place on Thursday, August 26, through Friday, August 27.

Be on the lookout for these opportunities soon.
For now, there are a few of things you should do: (1) If you made hotel reservations . . . (To continue reading, click on image).

How to Be a Hybrid Church
Today, churches are faced with a new challenge as they consider how to engage a split congregation—at home and online. This course is designed to help you discern what it means for your church to become a “hybrid” church and how to build the bridge between what you’re doing now and what you will do in the future.
