Co-sponsored with the Episcopal Church's Office of Latino/Hispanic Ministries, this biennial event will offer practical tools and a network of support to better equip for ministry those working within the Latino/Hispanic community and those who want to be.

Clergy, diocesan missioners, parish staff, church planters and lay leaders are invited to expand their knowledge by sharing best practices and exploring new methods of stewardship, church growth and evangelism.

Participants will take home strategies and ideas for starting and strengthening Latino/Hispanic congregations. Workshop topics include

• Building a framework for ministry
• Equipping God’s people for leadership
• Telling our story in the age of technology

The conference also will focus on ways to develop Latino/Hispanic ministries within the Episcopal Church without losing vibrant cultural identity.
