Part 4 of 5:
Outreach

---

What is it? 

This program is designed to help small and mid-sized churches.  Prayer, Hospitality, Online Presence, Outreach, and Integration are five areas where each church can adopt new best practices.   Each strategy will instruct you in step-by-step actions your church could take to improve your worshiper experience.  Lay and clergy should participate together to decide what strategies they want to implement in the local church.  Between each practice cycle the church will be put into a cluster with a leader who can assist in answering questions and problem solving.  CEU will be offered. 
 

What's the next step? 

• Register online!  
  
  The cost is a flat fee of $100 per church and as many people may join from your church as possible.  Different teams may be needed for different practices.
•  Each practice will be taught in an online session from 9am - 1pm ET/8am - 12pm CT. (The Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants a few days before the event).

 

What happens after the Zoom session?  

• After the learning session the church will be placed in a cohort between sessions for accountability and support.
