Congregational Conversations 2025:
Overview & Resources

The “CUC Congregational Conversations Series” will continue this year.  Congregational leaders have shared timely themes – so we’ve scheduled many, but not all, of our fall topics.

We’re holding three spaces for your highest priority topics – so be sure to join us in September and help shape the rest of the season. Please see below for fall details.

While the focus of this series is primarily congregational, all are welcome. We appreciate your RSVP for planning purposes.

New: Congregational Conversations Living Resource Guide
The 2024 Congregational Conversations Living Resource Guide contains the collaborative wisdom of participants in the CUC Congregational Conversations project. The Guide will be updated as conversations continue and more resources are known.

Got a great resource? Please share to: congregationallife@cuc.ca
Or better yet, join us for the next conversation!
