The Co-Creator Academy is designed to help you take your idea to the next level by looking at the steps to implement innovation. You will learn more about the theology behind and movements to innovation\, and the practical steps related to building contacts\, team building\, structures and funding this new idea. \nConsultants- The Co-Creator event will be led by Rev. Rachel Gilmore\, Director of New and Vital Faith in the Desert Southwest Annual Conference and Rev. Tyler Sit\, pastor at New City Church and Associate Director of Multicultural Ministry for the Minnesota Annual Conference. \nTeams: Churches are encouraged to bring a team of participants.

The Congregational Vitality EMT has subsidized the cost for all already. \nRequirement for CV EMT Grant Funding for 2027: The Co-Creator’s Academy is the next step (after the Innovation Discernment Academy) in helping you and your team develop a ministry plan to reach and bless new people.
