May 14-15, 2024

Right Start occurs May 14-15, 2024, in San Antonio. Details to be announced at a later date.

The Right Start is intended for clergy receiving a new appointment

Right Start is a tool for you during this time of transition, adapted to help you meet the special challenges of 2023. You will gather with other colleagues who are moving, to worship together, share experiences, and learn best practices for taking care of yourself and your churches, making your move as healthy and positive as possible.

Due to the importance of this change in your life and the life of the church,
your participation in Right Start is expected.

We hope Right Start will help us all live into the expectations that our bishop has shared with us—that our work stay Christ-centered, that we strive for fruitfulness and excellence, and that we work in ways that are collaborative and accountable. We need each other on this journey.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
