We are here to support churches as they navigate the Covid-19 pandemic and the current and future implications for the church.
Online Forums and Learning Opportunities
We completed a series of free online forums and learning opportunities for pastors, staff and church leaders. Information on those sessions is located below. If you would be interested in any of these topics, contact us.
Each forum will consist of a short presentation on the topic, lengthy time for discussion, brainstorming,Q & A and some optional time for prayer. These events are free and are meant to help pastors, leaders and churches.

Space will be limited to allow for meaningful conversation.Registration is required and more events will be added as needed.
