Hey NewThing Chicagoland Friends!

If you're planning to be at Exponential Central Nov 18-20, we'd like to invite you to join us for a FREE lunch* thanks to our friends and Strategic Partners, Thrivent Financial.

At this lunch we will have plenty of time to connect, encourage one another, celebrate all that God is doing through NewThing Chicagoland Networks and hear from our Guest Speaker: Derwin Gray.

Dr. Derwin L. Gray and Vicki Gray are the co-founders of Transformation Church (TC) where he serves as Lead Pastor and she serves as Executive Director of Spiritual Formation and Staff Health.

Pastor Derwin played professional football in the NFL—five years with the Indianapolis Colts (1993–1997) and one year with the Carolina Panthers (1998).

Pastor Derwin went on to graduate magna cum laude from Southern Evangelical Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree with a concentration in Apologetics. He was mentored by renowned theologian and philosopher, Dr. Norman Geisler. In 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Southern Evangelical Seminary. In 2018, he received his Doctor of Ministry in the New Testament in Context at Northern Seminary under Dr. Scot McKnight.

In addition to his role at Transformation Church, Pastor Derwin speaks at conferences nationwide and is the author of several books, including bestseller The Good Life and Building a Multiethnic Church. Learn more at derwinlgray.com.
