Learn, grow, and connect with free CIMM sessions!

Discover fresh perspectives and deepen your understanding with free, live Zoom sessions presented by the Center for Innovation in Ministry and Mission (CIMM). Starting January 15, Community of Christ experts will explore topics in theology, culture, and mission through short, "bite-sized" sessions that are interactive and easy to follow.

Most sessions are held on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM Central and run for about an hour, including time for live Q&A. Join from the comfort of your home and connect with others who are curious and eager to learn. If you miss a session or want to revisit one, past recordings are available on the CIMM YouTube channel.
