At Lead the City: Table Over Tribe, we’re leaning into the conversations that matter most—especially the ones that aren’t easy.
Join us for two powerful afternoon sessions of “Honest Conversations,” where local leaders will help us navigate complex topics with grace, truth, and practical insight:
Session II: Education
Don’t miss this important afternoon panel on Education—moderated by Justin Giboney, with insights from Dominique Dallas and Chris Butler.
Dominique Dallas is an Education Impact Fellow with the Federation of American Scientists. Passionate about the transformative power of technology and innovation, Dominique served as a Network Data Strategist with Chicago Public Schools where she played a key role in harnessing data for educational improvement.
Chris Butler serves as pastor of Ambassador Church, on the Leadership Council and Executive Committee of the AND Campaign, and Director of Christian Civic Formation at the Center for Christianity & Public Life.
Session III: Immigration
Immigration isn’t just political—it’s personal and pastoral. Justin Giboney will moderate this timely dialogue with Daniel Yang and Ronald Clay as they discuss immigration through a biblical lens.
Daniel Yang is the National Director of Churches of Welcome at World Relief. Previously he served as the director of the Church Multiplication Institute at the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center, a think tank for evangelism and church planting. He has pastored and helped plant churches in Detroit, Dallas-Fort Worth, Toronto, and Chicago.
Ronald Clay has served on staff at Englewood Family Outreach since 2020. A resident of the community, he plays a vital role in connecting with neighbors and leading programs at EFO. Ronald’s vision is to embody the redemptive and restorative love of Christ, helping others discover purpose through Him.
