Our faith traditions call us toward abundant life for ourselves, our neighbors, and the communities we share. This fall, we’re gathering to explore what it means to create the conditions where people, families, congregations, and communities can flourish.
Keynote: The Leading Causes of Life
What if we spent as much time asking what creates a healthy, whole, and thriving life as we do asking what causes illness, injury, and death?
We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. David Tillman, Professor and Chair of the Department of Public Health at Campbell University, as our keynote speaker. Drawing on the Leading Causes of Life framework, Dr. Tillman will invite us to look beyond what threatens our health and pay attention to the forces that generate and sustain life, as well as the powerful role faith communities can play in cultivating them.
His keynote will challenge us to see our congregations not simply as places that respond when people are struggling, but as places that can actively cultivate connection, hope, belonging, and the conditions for abundant life.
Whether you are a faith leader, lay leader, health ministry volunteer, community partner, or simply someone who cares about your community’s well-being, you are invited.
Come be part of a conversation about what abundant life can look like, and how we can help make it possible for more people.
