The secret is out – Rev. Terri Hord Owens, General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) will be our keynote speaker at the 2023 Disciples Women’s Retreat.
A Disciple since young adulthood, she worked for more than 20 years in corporate America, leading diverse teams in data management, before she entered seminary.
She was a pastor of First Christian Church of Downers Grove, IL. She served for 15 years as the Dean of Students at the University of Chicago Divinity School, shepherding a varied student body in both background and theology.
Rev. Hord Owens is widely sought after as a preacher, speaker, and workshop facilitator, and we are so very blessed to have her joining us. Her ministry and intellectual interests include a theology of reconciliation, cultural intelligence, developing inclusive and multi-cultural congregations, and the mentoring of youth and young adults.
We are thrilled to have her lead four worship services during the retreat, helping us focus on how to renew, refresh, recharge, and be restored. This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn from this amazing woman leader, with time available to reflect on her teachings.
We will be joined by women from the Greater Kansas City and Nebraska Regions. Sign up early to reserve your space. One-day registrations are an option, which includes two opportunities to hear Terri speak in worship service, as well as workshops, service project opportunities and two meals. Childcare is available at either retreat for children who are 3-12 years in October.
Register now for the KDW retreat, Oct. 4-6 or Oct. 6-8, at Disciples Center at Tawakoni.
