Ministry brings both deep joy and real suffering, yet in Christ, our trials are not wasted—they are the means through which His comfort overflows. Together, we will reflect on the challenges and rewards of gospel ministry, be refreshed through worship and fellowship, and be strengthened for the work ahead. Join us for The Crete Collective Family Gathering, where we’ll explore the theme of Joy and Pain: The Overflow of Our Union With Christ (2 Corinthians 1:5).
