The Church Leaders Gathering luncheon was held on September 22, 2025, at Indianola Church of Christ. The Gathering was designed to bring Restoration Movement churches, ministry leaders, and their spouses, and interested stakeholders together to connect, share insights, and discuss the current challenges local churches face. CEM leaders shared the organizational vision for 2026 in how to address those challenges together with churches.
​
It was a joy to see so many people from across the state and border communities in Nebraska, all in one place! Reunions like this are rare, but CEM aims to make them more common. We look forward to making The Church Leaders Gathering an annual event, along with hosting regional Gatherings across the state. Thank you to all who joined us this year!
