Your CDLA experience starts before you arrive at Hampton. New for 2027, CDLA workshops are organized into six distinct tracks, offering a broader range of topics designed to strengthen your ministry, leadership, and service. Workshops are listed for your exploration so you can identify the sessions that best align with your interests and goals. For the first time, you can reserve your workshops online and build your Tuesday and Wednesday itinerary in advance. With more time to plan and greater flexibility to shape your experience, you can arrive prepared to learn, connect, and take fresh insight and practical ideas back to your ministry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
