SERVE-ival: Capturing the big-hearted enthusiasm for missions we’re seeing in these times and transforming it into a future forward framework for lasting change. – with Brian Jones
We’ve seen an incredible revival of neighbors serving neighbors. An engaging missions program in your church inspires a congregation and blesses a community. And an engaging missions program unlocks generosity in a way that maintenance mode will never do. How does the church now capture the big-hearted enthusiasm for missions we’re seeing and transform it into a future forward framework for lasting change?
In the SERVE-ival webinar, pastors and leaders will:
- Be introduced to frameworks that will help them structure the missions and outreach programming in their churches.
- Receive practical guidance on how to reimagine short term mission trips in this season, and in the future as well.
- Learn how to work with church Missions and Outreach boards and other lay leaders to plan for long-term impact and sustainability.
- Understand how missions has transitioned from transactional to relational and toward a hyper-local focus.
- Participate in a Q&A to ground the learnings into your individual church context.
- Be provided with a PDF copy of the frameworks as a later download.
