PEP Connects: Portfolio Zoom Calls

One of the best resources PEP-RJ has is our members! We are a group of passionate people who are dedicated to the work we do. To that end, we have three regular opportunities for our members to come together to learn from and with each other for the various job responsibilities our positions entail. Join one or join them all; we know you will feel uplifted and heard after participating in these calls.

The bi-weekly PEP-RJ Communications call offers staff responsible for communications in their congregation a space to learn from another and improve the way in which they develop and deliver communications to their organizations.  We discuss issues and concerns; share ideas and resources; and serve as a sounding board for one another.

Informal First Fridays Happy Hour

Monthly on First Fridays at 1:00 p.m. EST

In addition to the portfolio-focused calls above, we have a monthly informal check-in / open forum where people join together to get to know each other, chat about what is top of mind, ask and answer questions, and just to see some friendly faces from outside of their own congregation.
