Dr. Jeff Moore\nOur keynote speaker\, Dr. Jeff Moore\, brings both deep scholarship and lived congregational experience to the conversation. Dr. Moore is pastor of Webster Groves Christian Church and an affiliate faculty member at Eden Seminary. In recent years\, he and the congregation have engaged in a creative and energizing process to reimagine their future\, offering valuable insights for this moment in the life of the church.
