Seeking Peace in Palestine

 “This provocation of the Palestinian people by the Israeli army and by settlers, especially during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, is completely unacceptable. Furthermore, the impending evictions in Sheikh Jarrah are illegal under international law.” -Bishop Sani Ibrahim Azar of the ECJHL. For the full Voice Blog on Palestine CLICK HERE. 

Leadership Academy 

One of the Metro D.C. Synod’s priorities is to equip and develop healthy leaders on various topics and ministry tools led by industry and theological experts. From developing new worship experiences to getting in the weeds of communication tools to better tell your story, you can expect to leave each academy session uplifted and empowered to serve in the capacity God is calling you.
