Join us for an exciting event where we’ll seek God’s vision for the future! At FaithWorks Vision Planning Saturday: Revival 2026, you’ll have the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, plan for the new year, and work on your own projects with the support of a community. We invite you to meet our committee, learn more about our plans for 2026, and have focused heads-down time to work. This in-person event is a great chance to connect, inspire, and innovate. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself!
Christmas and Easter naturally stir spiritual curiosity—even in those who don’t regularly think about faith. What if we saw these moments as opportunities to engage the hearts around us? In this workshop, we’ll explore practical and creative ways to leverage these sacred seasons to help friends, neighbors, and coworkers encounter Jesus in meaningful, natural ways. You’ll learn how to recognize openness, start genuine conversations, and make simple invitations that invite people to experience the story of Jesus in the moments they’re most open to it.
Interactive Monthly Zoom Workshop
Join us on the first Wednesday of each month for an engaging, interactive workshop on timely and relevant topics for leaders. Each session is designed to be practical and participatory, with space to learn, share, and apply ideas together.
An optional discussion time will follow the workshop for those who’d like to stay and go deeper in conversation.
New Life Fine Arts’ spiritually uplifting musical adaptation of the 1843 Charles Dickens’ classic tells the story of the tight-fisted curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge, and his personal transformation as he is supernaturally confronted with the haunting truth of his wounded past, his spiritually impoverished present and his woeful future.
“Ebenezer Scrooge: A Christmas Carol” is directed by Concord composer, David MacAdam who wrote the adaptation while living in England, where it was first produced in 1984.
For over 25 years, thousands of NLFA patrons have been given an inspirational glimpse into the true meaning of Christmas and are encouraged to spread their holiday cheer throughout the year.
“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round
— apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin,
if anything belonging to it can be apart from that —
as a good time;”
– Fred, Scrooge’s nephew in Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”
Join us for “The Future of Sports Chaplaincy: Inclusive, Trained, and Ready” — a groundbreaking in-person event hosted by The Black Sports Ministry Network, Inc. (BSMN)
Sports are more than games—they’re spaces where identity, faith, justice, and humanity meet. As athletes and teams navigate complex challenges on and off the field, the role of the chaplain has never been more vital. We need leaders who can listen deeply, care courageously, and serve inclusively—meeting people where they are, no matter their story or background.
What does inclusive sports chaplaincy look like?
How can chaplains support athletes, coaches, support staff navigating faith, justice, gender, identity, technology, and global issues?
Who’s shaping the future of spiritual care in sports?
Come find out.
