After 52 amazing years of annual Ethnic Concerns Consultations, change is on the horizon. At the ECC Business Meeting during the 2024 Annual Event, the decision was made to take a year for discerning the future of ECC for the sustainability of this ministry for years to come. We are excited to announce that in 2025, we are looking to establish a Young Adult Planning Team to help us reenvision the future of ECC. The Ethnic Concerns Committee invites passionate young adults (ages 18-40) to serve on a volunteer planning team to discern the future of ECC and its role in advocating for racial and economic justice in the church and society. APPLICATIONS ACCEPTED NOW THROUGH MAY 31. For more or to apply go to https://zephyrpoint.org/adult/ecc/
