THRIVE 2027: Here we are, God. Send us!

2027 RFC Congress
November 4-6
Maritime Conference Center 
Baltimore, MD
 

Our vision is a Congress that is life-giving, pastorally meaningful, and grounded in the realities facing religious life today. 

  • Thursday, November 4
    Context, Change, and Courage 
    A moderated conversation placing our work and this moment in the broader context of the signs of our times, the transformations to which religious life is being called, and the courageous hope needed to meet this moment. 
     
  • Friday, November 5
    Intercongregationality, Interculturality, and Intergenerationality 
    An exploration of how these three "inters" are shaping religious life today, challenging long-held assumptions, and opening new possibilities for collaboration, mission, and community. 
     
  • Saturday, November 6
    Resourcing the Frontiers of Formation 
    A focus on formation ministry—initial, ongoing, and leadership formation—and the best practices, resources, and tools that support this work.

     

    Congress 2027 will offer opportunities for:
  • Prayer and worship

  • Connection and community

  • Learning and integration

  • Resources and best practices

  • Support and hope
