❤️ RURAL MINISTRY MATTERS. YOUR PRESENCE MATTERS.

Rural churches have a unique opportunity to become a steady and faithful presence in communities that are changing rapidly.

This October, pastors and leaders from different denominations will gather in Bristol, VA, for Here for Good, a two-day experience focused specifically on ministry in rural communities.

Together, participants will explore questions like:
• How can we recognize and build on the strengths already present in our communities?
• How can we engage people who may be spiritually hungry but disconnected from traditional church life?
• How can we lead rural churches with hope, creativity, and courage?

If you serve in a rural setting, this is an opportunity to step away from the daily demands of ministry, connect with others who understand your context, and return refreshed with new ideas.

Shenandoah District pastors and leaders — we’d love to have you there!

📅 October 8–9
📍 Highlands Fellowship, Bristol, VA
💲 $35/person, including dinner

The Multiplication Hub @ Asbury Seminary

‘We’re so excited about The Multiplication Hub on the campus of Asbury Seminary—a place being built for connection, encouragement, and shared momentum around the heart of multiplication. What started as a vision is becoming a real space where leaders, teams, and friends can gather, dream, and be refreshed for the work God is doing through them. Our Airbnb is already booking for 2026, and we’re thrilled to keep moving into the next phases of development with the goal of completing them by this summer, leading to a grand opening in late summer. We’d love for you to come and stay with us—a stay with purpose.’

- Pastor Corey and The Multiplication Hub Team

Celebration is a catalyst for transformation; what we honor, we amplify. The apostle Paul modeled this beautifully: not only did he address struggles, but he shined a spotlight on the good, called out individual gifts, and rejoiced in every God-given victory. Lifting up what God is doing isn’t just encouragement; it’s fuel for the journey ahead.

With that in mind, welcome to the second edition of our Celebratory Newsletter! This issue is a joyful space where we spotlight the remarkable story, ministry, and influence of Penn Forest Worship Center, under the leadership of Senior Pastor Myron Atkinson, Virginia’s Area Director.

A special shoutout to Pastor Charlotte McNaney, whose insightful interview with Pastor Myron and creative storytelling helped bring this second edition to life.
