Transforming Ministry

Reaching the next generation does not just require good programming it requires transformation. This interactive one-hour Zoom session will equip church leaders and volunteers across children’s, youth, and other ministries to rethink how they engage and disciple the next generation. Through compelling statistics, real-life stories, and practical tools, you’ll be inspired to lead with purpose and passion, reshaping your ministry to impact not just kids but the entire church community. A Q&A will follow to address your specific challenges and ideas.
