Reaching the goals for your outreach ministries and your church
with Rev. Dr. Yvette Flunder 

November 15, 2008

Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church
4126 S. Arlington Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90008

9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

 

Rev. Dr. Yvette Flunder serves as Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship and Senior Pastor, City of Refuge United Church of Christ.  Bishop Flunder founded the City of Refuge UCC in 1991 in order to unite a gospel ministry with a social ministry. City of Refuge is a thriving inner-city congregation that celebrates the radically inclusive love of Jesus Christ. Preaching a message of action, the church has experienced steady numerical and spiritual growth and is now located in multiple structures in the South of Market area of San Francisco at 1025 Howard Street.

To fund this ministry to and with people living at the margins of San Francisco, Rev. Flunder has developed a powerful funding strategy that engages the congregation, the clients of Refuge Ministries, Inc., and partners with both government agencies and individuals that want to support the work of Refuge's social ministry.    On November 15, Rev. Flunder and others will be coaching churches with similar ministries how to develop the funds for the work to which they are called.  If your church is called to a ministry similar to City of Refuge United Church of Christ, you need to save this date, and plan to bring a team of your church leaders to this incredible opportunity.
