LOUISVILLE, Ky. –Most church leaders want a vibrant congregation that is impacting people with the Good News about the saving grace of Jesus. So why aren’t all churches having this effect?
The Great Commission Research Network (GCRNet) has been long uncovering the latest research from the most prominent thinkers in the field. This year they will co-host their annual conference with The Society for Church Consulting, Nov. 10-12, at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
The Society for Church Consulting is encouraging consultants and coaches to attend, as well as denominational leaders, pastors, seminary professors, lay leaders, elders and bishops.
“Consultants, pastors, judicatory leaders and academics should attend the annual meeting of the Society for Church Consulting,”
Workshops, discussions and sessions with acclaimed church health experts including:
•Dr. Gary McIntosh, Professor of Christian Ministry and Leadership at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, consultant of 22 years, author, and president of the Church Growth Network;
