Cluster Meetings

Q: Central Washington

Cascade Unitarian Universalist Fellowship , East Wenatchee Faith Lutheran Church , Leavenworth First Lutheran Church , Ellensburg First United Methodist Church , Ellensburg Grace Lutheran Church , Wenatchee

Cluster Meetings are organized by FAN and the faith communities in our Network of Advocating Faith Communities (NAFC) whenever a cluster chooses, but mostly during the interim time between legislative sessions (April through November). Smaller, geographically-grouped Cluster Meetings allow for greater opportunity for advocates and communities to interact and discuss regional issues. These meetings also allow for closer networking with FAN given the diversity of our state’s geographic areas.

The three main foci for meetings are:

To build closer relationships between all the faith communities of the specific Cluster group
To provide a space to hear advocacy updates from Advocating Faith Communities and FAN
To strategize together on advocacy plans/events for the coming year

FAN staff are working with faith communities in our network for Fall geographical cluster gatherings across our state. These meetings provide a way to get to know your neighbors and talk about local concerns and responses to needs in your community, hear FAN updates and perhaps create new collaborations (Locate your Cluster group here).
