Annual Reports

We are excited to share with you our 2024 Report to the Community, bursting with stories and images that celebrate another year of imaginative, collaborative programs through which we seek to cultivate and nurture spiritual leadership for a climate-changed world.

When you have a little time, we invite you to find a comfortable spot (ideally outside!), grab a cup of coffee or tea or another favorite beverage, and flip through the pages of this Report. Read it cover to cover! Find your place within the ever-expanding community that we are convening. And receive our gratitude for all the ways you are helping to inform and shape this work that we are undertaking together.

Whether you took part in this year’s EcoPreacher Cohort or our Small Church Leadership Community; whether you registered for one of our courses or learning communities, logged in for a workshop, or participated in a Chaplaincy Conversation Circle or Group Spiritual Direction Circle; or whether you joined us for our Lament with Earth series, our Summer Fiction Book Club, or one of our public conversations with noted authors and scholars — whether you attended our annual Convocation in September, accessed resources through our Leadership Commons, listened to Season 2 of our podcast, Climate Changed, or supported this work with a financial gift — in whatever ways you’ve engaged with The BTS Center, we want you to know that we are grateful. However our paths may have crossed over these past twelve months, we hope this Report will bring back a memory or two.

Please feel warmly welcomed to join us in the weeks and months ahead as we continue to gather for programs of spiritual and vocational formation, all inspired by our vision — human hearts renewed, justice established, and creation restored — and all in service to our mission: to catalyze spiritual imagination with enduring wisdom for transformative faith leadership.

If something within these pages inspires you, raises a question, or sparks an idea, we’d love to hear from you — please do not hesitate to reach out! We are so grateful to call you a friend of The BTS Center, and we look forward to connecting with you soon.
