Join me for a church staff retreat, August 15-16, at The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina.
In every church, there comes a point where we hit a ceiling or a wall. It could be in relationship, within a ministry, with other leaders, or even within our own staff. Come explore the dynamic lives of Abraham and Nehemiah in God’s Word. Gain practical, biblical principles to help you experience breakthroughs in times of conflict, in leadership, in vision, and in your own personal walks. Discover together ways to build momentum and see your ministry transformed.
