Our approach is very practical: learn by doing; learn in a cohort of learners that are ministering in a similar rural setting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are currently 13 churches in smaller communities involved in this project, which has included 40 to 50 laypeople, pastors, and leaders from the Greater Northwest Innovation Vitality Team providing resources and training opportunities for the pastors and lay leaders serving these churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Lynn_1.jpg?resize=200%2C251&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4294\" width=\"200\" height=\"251\"\/><figcaption><em>Lynn Egli<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The cohort regularly uses Zoom video conferencing technology\nto meet and study the Book of Acts in the Bible, discussing local community\norganizing efforts, sharing setbacks and what they\u2019ve learned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cohort meets quarterly for remote training sessions on\ntopics like social media, leadership development, creating change and community\ndevelopment. Each church gets an on-site visit from a nationally recognized\nfaith-based community organizing consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The churches currently involved in the Rural Church\nEngagement Initiative come from the Sage, Crater Lake, Inland and Seven Rivers\ndistricts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Egli said next year the hope is to add another 18-20 church\ncohort, expanding into more districts, including Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the Rural Church Engagement Initiative is being implemented in Ashton, Idaho; Coos Bay, Oregon; Chelan, Wash.; New Meadows, Idaho; Veneta, Oregon; Clarkston, Wash.; Gooding, Idaho; Klamath Falls, Oregon; Magic Valley Ministries in Idaho; Pullman, Wash., Sandpoint, Idaho; Toledo, Oregon; and Goldendale, Wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current churches will join the new cohort of churches\nfor a gathering at the Northwest Leadership Institute 2020 in March at Boise\nFirst United Methodist Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease pray for us as we continue to grow and serve,\u201d Egli said. \u201cWe are so grateful for the support of the Pacific Northwest and Oregon-Idaho conferences to launch this work in our rural churches that are serving so faithfully and, quite frankly, remotely.\u00a0 We may be miles apart, but we know we are not alone.
