Conversations for this ministry moment

If you’re a leader in today’s church you know everything’s changing and changing fast. This change has been accelerated by Covid-19.

Change is so rapid and unpredictable that most leaders are focused on the present ministry moment hoping to stay afloat while also having a missional impact in the here and now.

You are invited to monthly “Church Now” Conversations focused on the ministry moment. These Zoom gatherings are scheduled for every second Thursday from June through December, 2020 (excluding July) beginning at 11 a.m. (ET). Presenters will be Christian thinkers and leaders like Ed Stetzer, Kara Powell, Tod Bolsinger, Lisa Sharon Harper and Richard Mouw who will share keen insights into what they are observing and anticipating, so we can respond thoughtfully in our own contexts.
