Micah - thanks for reaching out via the forums!
Here are some practical resources for sure: https://ccda.org/?s=rural&post_type=product
I also can connect you with other rural practitioners if you'd like! Just email me at christina@ccda.org
I live and work in a rural intentional Christian community in PA. I'd be happy to exchange experiences & questions with others in rural settings. Plan to host a networking session at 2022 national conference. Prefer to connect by email: omriner55@gmail.com. Best, Toby www.bruderhof.com
I work in a rural community (our county population is 32,000). One challenge I've found is figuring out how to translate some ministry ideas to a rural context as many CCD examples come from larger, urban areas.
Hoping to connect with rural CCDA members like me. Glean For Good is a 14-acre sustainable farm that encourages creative gleaning practices to improve health disparities.
Asking around the staff and looking through our member directory for folks to invite to join in this discussion. I'm in a very urban environment!
Are you doing CCD ministry in a rural community? CCDA's Rural Committee would love your input! What are you celebrating in your rural context? What are your biggest challenges? What would you most like to see in terms of training, encouragement, and connecting with other rural practitioners? Post your replies here, and/or join us for a CCDA Rural Committee conference call the second Tuesday of each month at 2 pm ET (email laura@rfdcdc.org for more info)
