Our annual National Conference is a space for equipping, and workshops are one of the most meaningful ways participants engage with best practices, deepen their understanding of CCD, and wrestle with the theology that animates our work. We believe practitioners are best equipped by fellow practitioners, and the lived wisdom of CCDA members is one of our greatest collective assets.
Here are some of the workshops that you can look forward to at the 2026 CCDA Conference.
Attendees will understand the drivers of placelessness, be able to articulate a biblical theology of place, and be inspired to develop, lead, and encourage place-based efforts within their own faith communities.
In this workshop, Dr. Renee Sunday equips participants with a faith-grounded framework for sustaining long-term ministry without depletion.
This interactive lab invites CCD practitioners to strengthen community safety by cultivating shared power. This session equips leaders to align faithful presence with durable community structures.
This workshop offers a framework called the Four Rs of Multiethnic Living, demonstrating how our approach to our residence, resources, and religion can move multiethnicity from an agenda to a lifestyle.
Whether you’re passionate about your own neighborhood or just beginning to notice the world around you, this interactive experience will help you see your city, and your role in it, in a whole new way.
In this workshop, we will discuss what scripture can teach us about God’s deep desire for our liberation and ways that the financial industry inhibits that freedom.
