Rural Evangelism Discipleship Summit

Rural communities may be a distance from a town or city. Most share the need for a community shopping center and drive to get their business completed. Whether rural or city, pastors grapple with the reality of isolation. The Rural Evangelism Discipleship Summit (REDS) will focus on ISOLATION for 2026.

The reality of isolation.
Conflict and isolation
Friendships and isolation
Ministry partnerships and isolation
Gratefulness despite isolation

TED Talks occur on stage with bright lights and soundstage.
RED Talks occurs around a front porch fire. Join us!
