2012 NWC Annual Meeting
This spring is an opportunity for all of us to hear how God is working throughout all the churches and ministries of our conference. It is an opportunity to sharpen our vision and strengthen our commitment to the Northwest Conference, and it is an opportunity to enjoy our relationships as brothers and sisters in Christ.
We hope you will feel at home with us and we will do our best to help you enjoy these days together. We look forward to hosting you!
Serving together to strengthen His Church,
