the Church’ s One Foundation. The theme inspired the convention 
and member congregations and schools to encourage our members

outreach to the lost within the geographical area we serve. The last 
three district conventions encouraged delegates to focus upon the 
Gospel of Christ and consider how they can touch the lives of those 
who are unchurched or de-churched here and around the world.

have diligently worked to build an awareness of the tools needed
