In order to make the many resources for building up Christian faith available to you and your congregation the synod is establishing resource centres our five conferences. The centers will be located in specific congregations and will consist of a core library of proven "must read" materials (books, manuals, cd's, dvd's, etc.).

The resource centres are intended as a place for you visit so you can browse the material and ask people at the hosting congregation of their experience with the material. The host congregation has not been asked to administer the material (i.e. loan it out, place orders, etc.). Administration will be done out of synod office in order to take advantage of bulk discounts, etc.
