    Committee on Native American Ministries

    In October 2005 a significant event occurred in the Florida Conference as the first conference Committee on Native American Ministries (CONAM) was formed.  

     

    This recent effort in Native American ministry was built upon the foundation laid by the Native American task force, chaired by the Rev. Eric Young during its tenure (1997-2000). Serving as the new CONAM founding chairman and member of the former task force, the Rev. Jeff Ramsland recruited several people, both Native American and Anglo, from across the conference to help form this unique Native American ministry group.  

     

    The First Annual Native American Gathering was organized by CONAM and held in March of 2006 at the Life Enrichment Center in Fruitland Park, near Leesburg, with about 50 people attending. At each annual gathering our attendence has increased with many repeat attendees each year. We are now preparing for our seventh annual gathering on April 13 - 15, 2012 at the Life Enrichment Center.  Click here to download or print registration form.

     

    CONAM is formulating its vision and direction, while already addressing several Native American issues and concerns. CONAM also lifts up to the conference the importance of each church observing Native American Ministries Sunday, which, while being observed by most churches in April, can be celebrated at any time during the year.
