Upcoming Learning Opportunities
The Riverside Innovation Hub is launching our newest Community of Practice this October!
We hope your congregation will consider participating! To learn more and sign up for info sessions, check out the New Community of Practice Page.
Our next programming season will begin with a retreat at Camp Friendship on Oct. 9-11 that will work with congregations through discernment into one of several RIH cohort programs to love our neighbors better. These two cohorts, The Relationship CohortÌý²¹²Ô»å The Community Partner Cohort will begin in January 2027.
Additionally, we have a few shorter opportunities in the works and will have more details in Fall 2026. Emerging opportunities may include community organizing and mutual aid skill building and exploring how to use your building and church property to love your neighbors.
