NEW MODELS OF MERGERS AND COOPERATIVE MINISTRIES

Churches come in all forms of health: some are healthy
and growing, others are maintaining the status quo, and
some are declining. But they all have one thing in
common – they want to be fruitful and healthy. One way
this can happen is through partnerships or mergers.
Attend this workshop and explore new ways your church
might become healthier through a merger.

Cost $10 includes lunch
