  • Who’s Left?

    We’re doing an informal survey with planters who have launched their churches asking the question, Who from your core group or launch team is left?

    Reasons to Thank First Time Givers

    Let’s just face it; talking about giving is often the elephant in the room for churches. Yet, we all know what the Bible says about giving.
