Thriving in Community: What We Learned About Being the Church Together
Presenter: Rev. Dr. Erin Cash & Rev. Dr. Kory Wilcoxson
When: April 29, 2026 | 6:30-8:00 p.m. EDT


As the body of Christ, we are called to be connected to each other, woven together by the love and grace of Jesus Christ. But have you seen my Google calendar? How do we build community in our congregation when we are working around soccer schedules, doctors’ appointments, the lure of a hot coffee and social media-scrolling on the back porch, and 100 other things that pull us away from church? In this webinar, Erin Cash and Kory Wilcoxson will share what they learned about building community while writing their book, “Thriving Church: What We Can Learn from Faithful Congregations,” as well as their own experiences from decades in ministry.
Rev. Dr. Erin Cash is the Project Director for the Thriving Congregations Project at Lexington Theological Seminary. She earned her D.Min. from LTS and is the co-author of Thriving Church: What We Can Learn from Faithful Congregations.”
Rev. Dr. Kory Wilcoxson has served as the Senior Pastor of Crestwood Christian Church in Lexington, Ky., since 2009. He earned his D.Min. from LTS in 2023 and is the co-author of Thriving Church: What We Can Learn from Faithful Congregations.”
