Emerging young leaders and innovative thinkers will engage in meaningful dialogue, spiritual reflection, and strategic planning. By fostering connections, inspiring new ideas, and addressing key challenges, the 2026 Leadership Gathering will renew our sense of purpose and unity!”

Temperatures have begun to drop in North Carolina as we enter the winter season. While our winter weather varies across the state, it is important to create a plan and prepare your home.
Here are a few steps and resources to help you as you prepare:
Create a Plan
Create an emergency plan with your family. Include a list of emergency contacts, set meet-up locations, know evacuation routes, and make arrangements for your pets.
Stay up to date with severe weather updates and information from emergency officials. For more information on emergency alerts, visit ready.gov, ReadyNC.gov, or ncdps.gov.

Build a Kit
Build an emergency kit or check to make sure your kit items are not expired. Include copies of important documents, cash, a first aid kit, non-perishable food, a gallon of water per person for seven days, blankets, and snow removal equipment. Be sure to include items for your pets, too!
If you are traveling during the winter months, build a kit to keep in your car.
Prepare Your Home & Church
Be sure to secure loose items outside and weatherize the building.
Check to see if your insurance policy is active, what it covers, how to file storm damage claims, and what information is needed. Be sure to take an inventory of your church and home and document items and their conditions in case of damage.
