How can congregations move from responding to the hurts in their community to transforming the structures and systems that cause suffering in the first place—and transforming themselves in the process? These have long been driving questions for Dr. Joy Anderson. For nearly two decades, she has been a pioneering leader at the intersection of the church’s institutions and the world of business and finance. She has coached rising leaders in building congregations that integrate their Christian life with community-oriented social enterprise. Most recently, she has launched the 1k Churches initiative, a campaign to engage 1,000 churches across the country in making mission-driven microloans to businesses in their local communities.

In this day of learning, Dr. Anderson will share what she’s learned and how it applies on the ground in communities of faith. She will address:

•  How local congregations can unlock their potential as visionary change makers in their own communities through the tools of reimagined finance and economics

• How to tie deep-rooted theological reflection and discernment to concrete and practical economic action, in the service of whatever a congregation cares about most

• How the church plays a unique role in the growing movement to build a new economy that works for all people—and how you can find your place in it.

Come join us, and take a step towards discovering God’s Economy for yourself and your congregation.
