The Missional Learning Commons is a collaborative day for missional churches to exchange ideas, support, and encouragement about how to incarnate the gospel in their respective contexts.
This will be our 4th gathering. Because the traveling around the Midwest in the winter can be treacherous, we decided to move our time together to the fall, October 29-30. The Ecclesia Network is helping sponsor the event as well.
This year our theme is KINGDOM RELATIONSHIPS, specifically focusing on DISCIPLESHIP, FAMILY, and LEADERSHIP from a missional perspective.
LOCATION
The event will be held at the The Lindner Conference Center on the campus of Northern Seminary (610 E Butterfield Rd, Lombard, IL)
REGISTRATION
Cost is $10 per person (to share the cost of childcare for families).

CHILDREN, ETC.
We are doing what we can to make this event as family-friendly as possible. We have recruited a pool of childcare workers who will be available both Friday evening and on Saturday. If you are coming with kids who require childcare, we will email you a list of childcare providers that you can contact to make arrangements with. You will be responsible for negotiating an hourly rate for Friday evening, but WE WILL TAKE CARE OF CHILDCARE COSTS ON SATURDAY.
If you would like a list of childcare providers or have questions about how it will work, send an email to Jon Berbaum at jberbaum@gmail.com.
