Come learn with other congregations how to build and sustain a gun violence prevention ministry in your faith community. The 3rd Annual James Atwood Institute for Congregational Courage will be Sept. 15-18, 2026 at the Heartland Center near Kansas City, MO.
As you build relationships with other faith activists from across the nation, expect to learn practical, pastoral and prophetic skills for guiding your congregation in the task of saving lives and healing the trauma and fear brought by 38,000 lives stolen by gun violence last year. Who should come? Lay leaders and teams, pastors, parents and grandparents, gun violence survivors, suicide prevention groups, gun owners, safety and public health advocates, veterans, youth leaders---people of faith who are committed to saving lives. All denominations are welcome.
