Welcome to the
Northern Plains Conference

  • Monthly Zoom Gathering

    Last Tuesday of each month

    A gathering time for NPC clergy. Subscribe to our email list to get meeting invites.

  • The Palm Sunday Path

    The Palm Sunday Path is a growing, ecumenical movement of church leaders that recognize now is the time for Christians to publicly witness to our Christian values as laid out for us by Jesus in Matthew 25. We will publicly and visibly discuss and advocate for these values of feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. We will stand up to violations of these values by our elected leaders and we will call on every elected leader at every level - regardless of party - to work with us on policies that promote these values.
