We are a church that is deeply rooted and always being made new! From the first Churchwide Assembly held in Rosemont, Ill., in 1989 to the 13th assembly opening Monday, Aug. 12, in Pittsburgh, there have been many changes over the past 25 years, but we remain deeply rooted as a part of God’s new creation.
