2020 Vision for Vital Vintage Churches

Presenter: Rev. Dr. Michael Piazza

On Saturday, August 15 at 9:00 am, meet Rev. Dr. Michael Piazza and learn about how to execute practical changes in the area of stewardship and to focus your church on a clear vision for vital "vintage churches," his phrase for mainline/traditional churches.
