Global Church Conference

In the U.S., we have many opportunities to attend a wide variety of Christian conferences that are focused on equipping us to live out our faith in the world. First Pres Berkeley is home to the Global Church Conference (GCC), a conference born out of the desire to faithfully consider the issues of faith and justice in a global context.

The GCC is unique, in that all the speakers are Christian brothers and sisters from places in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. We need to hear our fellow disciples from the Majority World speak into our lives so that we can be encouraged and challenged with new perspectives.

We are one body in Christ. What do these brothers and sisters believe Christians in the United States need to hear and understand in order to more faithfully serve God? This conference is an extraordinary opportunity for critical reflection, meaningful conversation, and global friendship.

2012 Global Church Conference: Consumption and Justice
March 2-3, 2012

How can we change the chain of our consumption to bring freedom, dignity, and justice to people around the globe? Hear from Majority World Christians as they share their perspectives on "consumption and justice" and how God has spoken into their lives. We hope their wisdom will inform and encourage us to find ways to live more courageously, justly, and creatively in our context.
