Networks

As part of the 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, the Gulf Atlantic Diocese is creating and facilitating peer-to-peer networks based on ministry roles and strategic topics within the diocese. These networks will helps us to create a unified culture of shared wisdom intended to strengthen our diocesan and parish ministry together. The networks are launching in two phases: the first by ministry role, the second by topic. These networks will be empowered to influence the Synod and shape diocesan life.
