Innovative Ministry and Nonprofit Seminar

Join us online or in-person for a day filled with inspiration and practical guidance for pastors, lay leaders, and nonprofit leaders.

This seminar is for you if you:

• are a pastor or nonprofit leader who needs some fresh ideas
• are a church planter seeking new ways to reach people for Christ
• are a student looking to connect with innovative leaders

At the Innovative Ministry and Nonprofit Seminar, you'll hear from experienced leaders about discerning God's direction for your church or nonprofit, and you'll get practical advice in the context of either church ministries or nonprofit organizations. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a community that is dedicated to exploring new ways to impact the world for Christ.
