EDGE: Community Events

Harness the full power of online learning as you join your colleagues on Zoom to listen to new ideas, share your opinions and hear what others think, and discuss topics relevant to your work and ministry.

What would the world be without opportunities for connection, learning and support?

We don't want to know. 

So, we've started the Collaboration for Sustainable Community - an online space to discuss different models of community innovation hubs and how they can strengthen communities, to share resources and learn from each other and our experiences, and to learn as a group from webinars abour community-building and related topics. Please join us! 

We're also offering  2 monthly opportunities to join your colleagues on Zoom and:

  • Discuss new ideas
  • Share opinions and hear what others think
  • Discuss topics relevant to your work and ministry

Both these community events run on Zoom on the last Monday of every month!

Idea Days --> 1:00-2:00pm Eastern

EDGE invites changemakers with innovative ideas for their communities of faith to join us online once a month for Idea Day - an opportunity to talk about ideas and get feedback from others about them, and to provide feedback to others about their ideas. Anyone interested is welcome to attend for free.

Idea Days are a perfect way to practice talking to others about your idea and to get assistance working through any barriers you may be encountering.

Idea Days happen on the last Monday of every month (except July,, August, and December) from 1 - 2pm Eastern time. Register once to receive the Zoom information for all the 2023 Idea Days!
