Annual Gathering – Meet Your Speakers

We are excited about the plans for the 75th annual gathering of the CCCC that will be held in St. Cloud, Minnesota in July.The opening night will feature an anniversary celebration banquet, followed by a worship session. Conference Minister, Ron Hamilton, will speak at this service and will introduce the
theme, “Forward Together” in his message. The service will conclude with a communion service.

We are privileged to have Rev. Dr. Dale Hummel, Senior Pastor at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota as our speaker on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Wooddale Church, a member of the CCCC for twenty years, is known for her mission to “honor God by making more disciples for Jesus Christ” and for her vision to “share Jesus throughout our communities, our nation and around the world – here, near & far!” Pastor Dale recently authored the book, Reset: Live Every Day Like It’s a New Day.

The three morning plenary sessions will focus on our ministry priorities of Church Development, Church Multiplication and Conference Care.

The speakers will be:
• Rev. Dr. John Kimball – Director of Church Development
• Rev. Bryan Long – Director of Church Multiplication
• Rev. Dr. Ray DeLaurier – North Central Regional Pastor

We are also excited to announce that an updated history of the CCCC will be available at the annual gathering. A revised and expanded edition of Modern Day Pilgrims: A Proud Heritage (published in 1998) will be released along with a companion volume, Modern Day Pilgrims: A New Generation.
