COM Offerings

During the second day of the Conference of Ministry (September 30), prayers will be led by pastors from two of our Synod programs: Campus Ministry and Latino Ministries. Offerings received at the Opening Eucharist and the Closing Worship will support both initiatives. Campus Ministry partners with local congregations to serve students at UF, JU/UNF, UCF, and USF, and continues to develop sustainable models through strategic planning. As we continue building the capacity of Latino Ministries within our Synod, your generous support through this offering will be deeply valued.
