Wednesday, December 17th: "Growing In Faith Together" with Dr. Rob Ribbe
In our final Community Conversation of 2025, UMCRM welcomes Dr. Rob Ribbe, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Litfin Divinity School and Program Director of the MA in Outdoor and Adventure Leadership at Wheaton College. Rob will walk us through the latest findings from the "Growing Faith Together" project (formerly "Rhythms of Faith"), a groundbreaking effort exploring how camp experiences can spark faith practices that carry into homes and congregations.
Rob will also share how camps can join the final phase of this ecumenical research initiative happening February through October 2026. With applications due January 15, this session is a timely chance to learn what the project is discovering, what participation requires, and how your camp could benefit from this unique partnership.
