It's not really going out on a limb to say that the concept of "The Four Key Pivots for Today’s Church" probably resonates with the conversations you've been having. We’d love to be your conversation partner, reinforcing your thoughtful guidance.
We’ve just released a comprehensive downloadable ebook on "Pivots and Pitfalls for Church Leaders" to help navigate the challenges of serving our congregations effectively in the 21st century.

We understand how challenging it can be to reunite a congregation in the foundations of faith during this busy time of year. Some of your church leaders may find our #FaithFoundations ready-made resources helpful in sparking meaningful discussions or diving deeper into a topic with the congregation. These resources are theologically sound, on-demand courses about church history and core principles and provide the ability to learn from inspiring examples of women in church history.
Crash Course: Church: Help your congregation understand how and why the Church formed and is ever-reforming.
Lutheranism: Bound and Free: Empower the members of Lutheran congregations to own the core principles of their branch of the faith.
Women in Church History: Give your congregations inspiration and insights into key role models in the church's history, motivating them to make a powerful impact themselves.
