Presented by Beaver-Butler Presbytery
Sunday, March 15

Many of our churches have moved inward as they’ve declined, but God calls us to move outward—to be churches for others. Our Leadership and Administrative event will help elders, pastors, and members consider how to nurture “otherness” in our churches.
Two workshop sessions include four options for leaders and two options for administrators.
Cost: $5 per person
