About this Event
When the church is united and healthy, we help our communities THRIVE in ways we never thought possible.
THRIVE Farmington Valley is a collaborative effort between Vision New England and Farmington Valley's evangelical churches aimed at encouraging the growth of local churches while helping to meet the needs of the Farmington Valley community.
Our theme this year is The Anxious Generation.
On Friday, Jan 31, we will kick off an evening of worship as one community with a message from Brian Housman of Tech-Savy Parenting. On Saturday, Feb 1, we’ll hear about the issues in our communities and what the Church in Farmington Valley can do about them. You’ll hear from pastors, ministry leaders and others, be encouraged and inspired, and hear how our love can take action right in our own towns!
We focus on churches and communities with the goal of seeing both THRIVE - believing that when the church is healthy it blesses the community it serves. THRIVE is a conversation starter. It's a place to gather new ideas, collaborate with others, pray, be inspired, and go out and do more than we ever imagined was possible.
