Themes & Values
The theme for Global Gathering 2024 is Growing Together. This carries at least two meanings:
- Growing closer to each other
- Learning and developing together
Every element of the Global Gathering — from large sessions to table groups to meals and even periods of rest, will express this theme in at least one of these interwoven ways:
- Be Community
- Explore & Discern
- Inspire
- Worship & Celebrate
Online participation will emphasize and encourage this theme and expressions as well.
Core Values
Each day’s programming and activities will focus on a different Core Value that the Wycliffe Global Alliance community is built upon.
- Thursday 31 Oct.: Community
- Friday 1 Nov.: The Church as central in God’s mission
- Saturday 2 Nov.: The Word translated
- Sunday 3 Nov. (Sabbath): The Glory of God among the nations
- Monday 4 Nov.: Dependence on God
The other Core Value, Christlikeness, will be built into every day, because it is so closely linked to the overall theme of Growing Together.
