Greetings Zion Family,
We’re excited to have Rev. Dr. J. Elvin Sadler, General Secretary Auditor of the A.M.E. Zion Church for our next session of State of the Church being held Monday, February 16, 2026, at 8:00 PM (ET). This session will focus on one of the most essential areas of congregational life: Spiritual Formation.
In the Spiritual Formation dimension, congregants reflect on the extent to which their church provides a clear pathway for ongoing spiritual growth and serves as a meaningful partner in their faith journey. This session will challenge us to examine how well our churches are forming disciples—not just engaging members—and how intentional practices can deepen spiritual maturity across generations.
Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, or engaged layperson, this session will offer valuable insight, reflection, and practical wisdom to strengthen the spiritual life of your church.
