Due to a gracious invitation by the Minnesota Conference (Sherman McCormick, Ministerial Director), we were able to present COR and spend some quality time in dialogue with the pastors in Minnesota Conference.  

Many showed interested and a few (including the church that Pastor Sherman McCormick is pastoring in) are now in the process of applying for COR and setting up a COR Summit.  Please do keep the pastors in this conference in your prayers.  

For more info, contact Sherman McCormick, Ministerial Director of Minnesota Conference.

Here's a sample and preview of what's on the horizon.  

The average SDA young adult when relocating (for school or job) - will visit up to 3 churches to find a church community.  If he or she does not find one - they will leave the church for good.  

The website will connect young adults to church communities that are ready to receive them.

Pastor Throster Thordarson at one of our COR Churches - South Bend's First SDA Church - recently wrote an article on the Lake Union Herald cocerning their experience with COR.
